My organization hosted an event here and the staff couldn't have been more lovely and helpful throughout the whole process. Z was beyond kind and worked with me through every step of the process, even to make a custom drinks list (which all turned out DELICIOUS!!) The venue was absolutely stunning and I can't wait to return!!

Fantastic food. Especially recommend their Hunkar Begendi. Service is a little slow though as they seem to be understaffed.

Midpoint offers an authentic and enjoyable experience that captures the essence of Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant serves various Turkish and Mediterranean dishes, among which the Chicken Shish is my personal favorite and a must-try. Like other menu items, the chicken shish is characterized by its fresh and authentic flavors, capturing the essence of traditional Turkish cooking. The ambiance of Midpoint Istanbul is well-regarded, with a nicely decorated and chill vibe that makes it suitable for both dates and with friends. It's a great place to enjoy a meal, though it may not be the largest of spaces, giving it a cozy and intimate feel. The service is great! Kind and helpful employees. However, there are a few downsides to note. The space is small, and parking is a challenge. While they offer free parking at nearby garages (Temple Street Garage or Crown Street Garage) with a validation card from 4 PM until 3 AM, there may still be limited space for those looking to dine in larger groups or during peak hours.

I really enjoyed everything we had to eat and drink. This was our first time here, and we will absolutely will be back. We loved our drinks. They were perfect. The hummus was so fresh tasting. It came with veggies and pita. We opted for one of the lamb dishes, with yogurt and it was absolutely delicious.

Food was delicious. Salads were very full, and combo plate contained all the Turkish favorites. Lamb was tasty and succulent.

I come down from Boston for the hunkar begendi dish. Wish I lived closer and could eat here more often. Highly recommend 10/10.

Wonderful calming atmosphere, friendly service and excellent food. They validate parking too! A little expensive but I believe costs are going up for all restaurants.

This place has been on my list for so long! Walked in it's a cute little spot with a lot of outdoor seating for the summer months, they have a cafe and restaurant inside. We first tried their lentil soup which was sooo good. Perfect taste and I love it with the bread. I tried their cherry juice which is a given for Turkish restaurants , and my husband tried the yogurtlu Adana which was so good. I was blown away by the flavor in this dish the yogurt paired with the tomatoes sauce was amazing. Also my Adana kebab was great too very well seasoned and perfectly made. The food came out very quick within maybe 20 minutes which was nice. And staff was attentive. I will be coming back!
