Superb. Period!
Consistent in high quality ingredients and preparation since our August '24 review.
Chicke n Shish tender, juicy, generous portion. Same for Lamb Shish. Both so flavorful, not overly seasoned.
Yogurt mint dill concoction is served chilled and ample : 1 pint.
Looking forward to dessert: Rice Pudding.

I often order from here but today might be the last time. This place was expensive but reliable quality. The last few orders were meh. The most recent order came with stale pita and very small portions on the lamb. The lentil soup was bland and tasted a bit old.

Dear Midpoint Istanbul,
Our delivery meals from you have always been beautifully prepared, and presened, delicious, consistent quality. We have thought your food and delivery experience was worth the extra cost, a special treat.
That was until tonight's order. Unfortunately, my husband's lamb dish was not enjoyable. The lamb was dry, and it was not cubed as usual but in tough slices. There was no bulgar, only rice pilaf. No explanation why. lf.The rice was spread out over the pan's bottom rather than presented as lovely neatly formed timbals. He said the entree was not appetizing. He ate less than one half.
My chicken was tasty but also a bit dry, there was no bulgar serving, only rice covered the bottom of the pan. Perhaps someone else cooked tonight; maybe they were out of bulgar. We hope tonght was just an off night.i

The food here is to die for. I've never had a bad experience and I've probably eaten here over a dozen times.
