Review by adonis on 09.07.2002 If you've had enough of the ubiquitous Middle Eastern eateries that have mushroomed all over Cambridge and Boston, and want to try something a little more adventurous and sophisticated, a Turkish meal at Cafe Istanbul is worth a shot. Cafe Istanbul is tucked away, almost sunken in on 37 Bowdoin St. in Boston, right down from the State House on Beacon Hill (Phone: 227-3434). The restaurant has a cozy feel with family artifacts from Turkey adorning the walls. The service is gracious and the staff make you feel right at home. But the highlight of Cafe Istanbul is the incredible food - flavorful, juicy, unusual, and very fresh. If you're a newcomer, you will be enticed by the warm, freshly baked Turkish bread when it appears on your table while you read the menu. Kebabs are a specialty, and they serve the whole gamut, right from the traditional doner to delicately marinated chicken kebabs. The coban salad, Turkish style pizzas, and sandwiches (served only at lunch) add a welcome variety. My favorite is the sampler platter, which I fill with zucchini fritters, grape leaves, lentil kofte, and a filo pastry stuffed with feta cheese. Cafe Istanbul will easily find a place in your heart or stomach. Z. Potia
