Istanbul Grill - New York City

We had a medical appointment next door and starved, but on a very tight budget. So we moved in and ordered 2 chicken gyro pits. every bite.

I had the falafel sandwich on Turkish brot and it was well done. the place was quite small and the waitress was terrible. when we arrived first.

Excellent in every sight! We sat and waited immediately by a woman who, I think, is one of the owners. my wife and I had falafel sandwiches.

I had the falafel sandwich on Turkish bread and it was well done. However, the place was rather small and the waitress was terrible. When we first arrived, the waitress wasn't even available and one of the cooks said that we could sit anywhere. The waitress then came out and she came off as cold from the start. She seemed as though she was in a hurry when the place wasn't even that busy. Instead of asking us if we would like to start with a drink/appetizer, she just jumped into the entrees. I gave my order and when my wife was about to give hers, she proceeded to leave before taking her order basically ignoring her. I really wanted to walk out at that point but we both wanted Mediterranean food. Since the place was so small, we could overhear the waitress being chatty with other customers but was still treating us like we were aliens. That's probably the best way I can put it. Quite frankly, I wouldn't visit this place again unless there was a different server that had etiquete.

Really enjoyed the food. Wasn’t crowded and will definitely make this one of my normal spots!
