Admittedly it wasn't too busy when we ate here hard to judge the noise level. That said, we have been here before and it's a nice neighborhood byob restaurant with delicious Turkish food. The mezza plate was perfect to share between 4 and the calamari was the best, tender and crispy with a delicious dipping sauce. We all had varying kebabs, all were moist and flavorful as were the chicken thighs. Finished off with some Turkish coffee and baklava and we were more than satisfied. Even though it is a byob it was still reasonably priced.

Great place for dinner. Amazing food

I wanted to experience it for the first time. But it wasn't worth it. The food was overly salty and saucey. Prices were too high for the portions. Online menu prices and real prices are different from each other. When the bill came, the prices were different from the prices on the menu. In short, negative.

My Turkish takeout go to place in Philly. Any meat dish is amazing, but my ultimate preference is Adana kebab.

My husband and I used to go to Isot more often, but realized recently we hadn't been since 2020! To our delight, the food was still as delicious as ever. Everything tastes so fresh and is seasoned to perfection.We love their manti (and I'm excited to see a vegetarian option which I will try next time) and kebabs. We also love that it's an BYOB!I definitely recommend this gem to any and all.

Our employee, Muhammed, took great care of us, thanks to him, he is a very friendly and warm-hearted person. You can be sure of the best restaurants you can visit here. If you want taste and service, I recommend it.

Delectable Turkish food. Prices are a bit high but maybe that’s normal for the US. I don’t live there, so idk.We got the mix for four and each type of meat was so tender. No excessive spice. İçli Köfte was… WOW. I’ll order just that next time lolAppetizer recommendations:Acılı ezme: it means spicy but not that much. Hadn’t had it in years and it was just perfect.Şakşuka: Basically some cold eggplant starter. Super delicious. A bit sweet, not hot as in spicy. Comes with bread/wrap/whatever you wanna call it.Mantı: Both my American friends and I enjoyed it. For me, it’s a dish, not a starter. The bowl was also big. But if you wanna taste it, you can share like we did. I would say it was a bit pricey but manti is also expensive everywhere in Turkey. So it didn’t surprise me.DessertsKünefe was just okay, can’t really recommend. But baklava was GOOD. Only two small pieces come when you order but it’s a strong dessert. We appreciated the tea on the house as well. Turkish hospitality :)Staff spoke English but they gave us a heads up that they were still learning. They were good enough for basics and to show hospitality. There was some misunderstanding for our take away order but it was solved quickly. If you are in a hurry, maybe ask if the order needs more time to be prepped.

Where can I start in reviewing isot, everything was just perfect.The prices were a bit high yes, but everything else was magnificent.We had a blonde American waitress who was very kind and welcoming, she even served us everything with caution when she knew I was a pollo-vegetarian.The food was extremely delicious, the place is very elegant as well.Do not take wraps here, they are very specialized in main & appetizers.

Service is amazing. I highly recommend getting the Isot mixed grill. It is typically for 4 people but they adjusted it for my group of 3. Ordered the mixed Mezze which had some great dips and pita bread. One of my favorite spots.Vegetarian options: Some good vegetarian options but meat is a big part of the menu.Parking: Might have to fight for street parking.
