Cafe 34 Istanbul

Best Turkish food ever! And great service! And awesome staff and Turkish tea was great!

It was absolutely delicious– had a great unique spin on turkish food that I hadn’t had. I loved the manti (dumplings), the chicken and beef kebobs were great, appetizer sampler was nice but VERY small portion (reason for 4 stars rather than 5). They are halal so that was great. I HIGHLY recommend them if you’re in Orlando and need some delicious ethnic and flavorful food.

So good! I used the 1 free appetizer and then ordered 2 more to make a solid meal. I went with the hummus, sautéed eggplant and lentil balls. All were very fresh and the lentils had a little heat. This is a great spot in the middle of so many chain restaurants.

I come here every time i’m in Orlando. We always get the Ottoman pleasure. The best waiter we ever had is Francisco from Venezuela. You won’t be disappointed

I was in the area looking for some food to grab. Decided to give Café 34 a try since I do enjoy Mediterranean food. The place has a good ambience and was greeted by a server who quickly helped me out and gave me a menu.
I ended up ordering a Gyro wrap which comes with fries. I was shocked how expensive it was compared to other spots. The restaurant looks great, service was good, kitchen looks clean the only thing lacking is the food. I was disappointed at the taste of the food. The fries were mediocre and so was the wrap.
I will give this place another shot but it definitely would not be with the Gyro wrap or fries lol

Fantastic start to finish! Checked Unilocal for a Turkish restaurant and decided to give Café 34 a try. I went with two friends who also love Turkish food and we were all very happy with our choice! Fresh, delicious food and fantastic service. Reasonable prices to boot! We will be back the next time we are in Orlando.

Spent $ 40 on two appetizers and two bottles of water. It was really disappointing. The food was fresh but the portion wasn’t worth the price. Be warned.

Awesome place great food beat kabobs in Orlando — try the ottoman plate $ 60 feed 6 people amazing

This was a great find and a place worth going to not only for the great food but to get away from the boring overpriced things on international drive! Finding it can be a little tricky but I had good luck with google, but it is at the back end of a strip mall near the orlando eye. We stopped here for a late lunch and it was perfect.
The dolmas were great and nicely done. Something simple like these really need some care and they had that. We also split the mixed grill, basically a sampling of most of the meats with rice and assorted veggies. Kind of a perfect thing to split between two people was our thought. The rice is fragrant and amazing rich in flavor. So don’t turn your nose up on it as it will not be like rice you’ve had in other places. The various meets in this dish were flavorful and just what we were looking for. The only disappointment was the lamb rib as it was way over done. But that happens and I’m totally going back next time I’m in this part of Orlando.
Wine list was reasonable and be sure to try the mint tea!

We were looking for a good Greek restaurant and Unilocal member recommended this one.
Let me tell you, they did a good job. Food was amazing. I had a lentil soup that was delicious and pretty big portion too. Then I ordered a salad and added doner meat. Another good portion that I was not able to eat completely. The ingredients were very fresh, the dressing had good quality olive oil and tastes very good.
My husband orders lamb chops and this is the first time I see good size chops. They were cooked as ordered and very tasty. To finish we ordered baklava. Soon gooood. Definitely returning in our next trip.

Pleasant staff with great food and more than reasonable prices. What else could you ask for? And if you check in on Unilocal,you get a discounted appetizer. The patio is nice, but there will be people smoking cigarettes and hookah outside so be aware of that. The meat was well seasoned, and they gave you a nice portion of carrots/​cabbage to eat with your entrée. The only complaint my group had was that it was not a full bar, only beer/​wine.
WARNING: As I learned the hard way, if you are using google maps to direct you to the restaurant from Universal Studios; it will have you drive through the lockhead martin defense facility, and they don’t really like that.

It was our first time here, so we decided to get the ottoman dish just to try all the different meats. It was to die for!!! So tasty, my favorite was the gyro meat and the kebabs. The meat was so tender. I liked mixing the carrots and red cabbage with my rice, then topping it off with meat! So delicious. There was a lot of meat, so I would recommend having at least 3 people to finish it up. Our waiter was also super nice and funny. He made our dinner entertaining and enjoyable!

I’ve lived in Istanbul and this isn’t what I ate. The zucchini pancakes look like tofu squares. It wasn’t fried and crispy like they’re supposed to be. They were soggy and soft. The phyllo on the borek was too thick. The atmosphere and vibe felt pretty middle eastern though.

A very sweet, tidy place with an awesome food, ambience and open kitchen. We visited Orlando for a couple of days and luckily found this gem of a Mediterranean place.
All the items we ordered were amazing and cooked to perfection. The ground lamb entrée is amazing in every way, cooked to perfection and it just melts in your mouth.
The complimentary pita bread they served was straight out of the oven and just delicious.

Food and service is a 5 star but make sure you check your bill closely!
I have found it pretty hard to find good late night eats since moving down here but this place is now at the top of my list! We went close to 1am after a concert and had a really great experience.
We got several cold appetizers including the hummus, babaganush, and the dolmas. All were all wonderful and the pita was perfect! For entrees my husband and I shared the lamb and chicken kabobs. They were very good, and we had to take a lot of them home.
Three of us shared a hookah and that was a lot of fun!
My only reason for giving it 4 stars was an issue with our bill and how it was handled. Our friends from out of town paid the bill, which was to include a free cold appetizer from a Unilocal check in offer. Unfortunately they didn’t realize this was not taken off until we left. They called and asked to the manager the next day, who told them they would need to come back in with their credit card to have it fixed. They had already flown back home and were unable to come back.

I really enjoyed the food here, especially the jasmine rice. It was steamed to absolute perfection. Way to go chef!
We arrived late night and they promptly sat our group of six outside on the deck. It’s a lovely deck with comfortable seating and a pleasant atmosphere in the evening. Our food came out fairly quickly. It was hot and so delicious. Their meat was cooked exactly how I’d ordered it.
I would probably give this place a 5-​star rating with the exception that once we were seated, our waitress never came back except for 1) to bring us an initial water, 2) to bring us our food, and 3) to give us our check. We never saw her at any point in time between those three moments. When she brought us our food, we asked for water refills, but she only brought that an our later when she brought the check.
While we were there, quite a few people came and smoked hookah, had some tea, a little bit of food and left. It was a pleasant place to hang in the evening.
So… food was awesome! Our particular waitress not so awesome.

I tried a different hookah lounge for every night I was out here in Orlando and I have to say… The vibe here is great! But the service is so slow… They’re super nice and friendly but very slow. The hookah itself was ok… I mean I was craving and they tried to come up with a flavor for my tastebuds but I didn’t really like it and wasn’t planning on staying long so I felt bad and didn’t want them to change it.
I would honestly come back Bc the food looked great ! But I was so full before coming here or else upon a check in you do receive a free cold appetizer. I guess it was just super busy tonight.

I don’t often give away 5 stars! Stars are not play things that should be freely given away, unless you’re a kindergarten teacher and is trying to build self confidence in little 5 year olds.
But on this occasion, this restaurant demands 5 stars.
It’s a real pearl in a sea of empty clams!
The food is soooo delicious (if you like Mediterranean)!!
The service was incredible! We had 3 servers constantly asking if we needed anything and if everything was ok.
The prices are right on par with surrounding eateries.
The café is a bit small inside, but it has a nice outdoor covered and heated patio with a bar.
You can check out their menu here on Unilocal and if you check in on Unilocal as you walk in, you get a coupon for a free cold appetizer (which I did and it saved me $ 8).
I could not have been happier with this experience.

My sister and I are in Orlando from Chicago and I am so glad we found this place! The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly and very courteous. Our waitress was very sweet, and so were the guys preparing the food.
I ordered a lentil soup for myself and he asked if he should put it in two bowls so I could share it with my sister, which I thought was so awesome, and very sweet!!! The soup was amazing, so flavorful and yummy.
I ordered the Chicken Shish Kabob and my sister ordered the Beef Shish Kabob, both were delicious and full of flavor. My sister also got Baklava and she loved it, said it was probably the best she’s had, so fresh and yummy.
All in all I had a great experience here, the staff is awesome and the food is amazing!

I happened upon this spot because it was right next to the sea life aquarium and Madame Tussaud’s. I saw the good reviews from Unilocal and decided to give it a try. It is a pretty nice little upscale restaurant. The menu had a lot of excellent choices but I decided to go with the lamb kofte. I also got the hummus appetizer for free by checking in on Unilocal.The lamb was cooked perfectly and was tasty and very juicy. The hummus was also delicious. It’s not the cheapest place for lunch but it is very good quality.
They have indoor seating as well as an outside patio too.
