Cafe Istanbul 2 - Kennesaw

Everything was perfect the smoothie, the food and the hookah were amazing. The place is very beautiful. Besides the music and songs were toooooooooooo loud

Ambiance hipster Location ok; shopping plaza Customer service decent Food good; definitely worth trying 1. You can smoke hookah/sheesha inside 2. They have kunafah. Tastes decent however you may want to ask them not to put too much syrup in it. 3. Lightly staffed so you may have to remind them every now and then : . 4. Good selection of music. Good place for a casual meeting.

Great food. We got there Friday around 7pm and it was empty. Belly dancer was so great . It turned into a club around 10. We left right on time

I come here once every year for my birthday. Why? Not for the food, which is excellent and reasonably priced. Not for the atmosphere, which is spacious, cozy, tastefully low lit, and smartly decorated. I come here every year because the servers never fail to make me feel appreciated, and in a way that seems genuine. I deal with terrible seasonal depression, which is heightened around my birthday specifically. I first came to Cafe Istanbul on a whim. I knew nothing of the place. I sat alone in the restaurant, sadly eating my meal. After some time, my server sat down with me. He treated me like I wasn't just a customer, but a fellow human being who needed just a little compassion that day. That was years ago now. I've made it my tradition to come back for my birthday ever since. This year, my server was Leslie. At the end of the meal she took both my hands in hers and sincerely wished me a happy birthday. Thank you, Leslie. Go to Cafe Istanbul. Go for the food and atmosphere, but stay for the human decency. ...my only minus is it gets too loud there for my taste when the sound system comes on. Conversation becomes difficult at best. It's worth the headache, but it is still a headache. If you like loud, this is certainly a plus for you.

I'm girlfriends and I went there 4 drinks and conversation. The hookah was very cool in the belly dancers were great. We will definitely be back when we can stay later. The place was really starting to hop when we left after 11 p.m. there was a line out the door. The music sounded great and we hated to leave.
