“I have eaten here on several occasions and the last time, while I was waiting for my date to arrive, the proprietor approached me and asked me if I would like to reserve a table. After my date arrived we were promptly seated and, although we lingered over our dinner, the host was very gracious and polite. I would recommend this place not only for the food but also for the hospitality.“
“The service at Istanbul Mediterranean Grill is impeccable, with the owner and his staff - who are passionate about sharing their culture and cuisine with every guest. Whether you're a seasoned food enthusiast or new to Turkish cuisine, they're eager to guide you through the menu and ensure a memorable dining experience.One standout dish is the mixed grill platter, featuring a tantalizing selection of meats grilled to perfection and served with rice pilaf and grilled vegetables. The tender lamb chops, succulent chicken skewers, and flavorful beef kebabs are sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate.Must try: Mixed platter, Sheesh kebab, hummus, Turkish tea, Kunafa.“
“Sam is the best! Every time I come in he takes care of me and cooks whatever I'm on the mood for. I just moved to Tampa a few weeks ago from Kansas City and he's helped make me feel right at home. And don't forget to ask for the Turkish hot sauce if you like it extra spicy ;-)“
“Tampa Palms and the immediate surrounding area has some of the best cultural food options in all of the greater Tampa Bay area, and I may have found the best Turkish Street food in all of the land at 1453. I have had many good experiences in life especially when it comes to food and this food truck put me in the passenger seat as they drove me around flavor town. I wish I could have tried one of everything, but the main feature of this plate was the donor kebab. Tender and delicate gyro style lamb adorned with grilled veggies and rice. I wish I had words to describe the flavors but spices came on this plate that I could not capture other than acknowledging them as incredible. Had to throw a salad in as well which of course was included to once again be a testament to the value you will find on this menu. No question that I will be back and hopefully soon!“
“During the past five years, we have enjoyed the authentic Turkish cuisine at Bayshore Mediterranean Grill. Having made several trips to Turkiye, we can attest to this fact! Thanks to the restaurant staff for providing excellent service. Special thanks to Rania, our server.“
