Isot Mediterranean Cuisine BYOB in Philadelphia

Very neat and convenient place. They provide large portions and for affordable prices. We loved the menu a lot and the staff members were very affable and explanatory. Recommended.

Excellent authentic Turkish cuisine! They have many unique dishes that are veg friendly and worth trying. The service is extremely helpful in making recommendations and they made sure our experience was very fulfilling. The ambience is also very chic and comforting for both a date night or a meal with the family.

We arrived at this restaurant for dinner. my friend recommended this spot. Well, it was a winning. we were warmly welcomed by the crew and we had a fantastic feeling. The food was just great. We loved this spot a lot and we will visit this place again. Keep it up.

Love this place. Food is DELICIOUS

Delicious kufta. Cozy place. Good tea and turkish coffee. Little over price.. The restaurant host did count and took her tip by her self without asking or waiting for which is unacceptable for me.

I just liked their dishes. I always get awesome customer service there. The place is well kept and the cashiers are always friendly. I highly recommend this place.

Food was delicious but the thing better then that was the service. I felt very comfortable with the young guy and girl at all the time I spent in there. I love this kind of people. I strongly advise the owner to keep them. I know most Turkish restaurants has awful service and that’s why I’m so picky. I’d like to thank you for your respect, kindness and service.The price is reasonable and not expensive at all. I advise the place and definitely will come back.

Very polite staff and the food is great. They gave out many complementary dishes too!

I had a wonderful time at this place. We liked the first-rate ambience and the food. The staff were super welcoming. I am glad we finally managed to try this restaurant.

I love their lentil soup! Very friendly staff too! I'll definitely be heading back each time I'm in town!

Fantastic brunch. Food and service are impeccable with a cosy atmosphere. Definitely will be back soon for dinner. Delicious cuisine with tremendous attention to detail. The Turkish breakfast for two is not to be missed. Vegetarian nirvana.

Loved the food and the service at this cozy BYOB place. Everything from appetizers to dessert was fantastic. The staff are very friendly and prompt. They even brought out a dish on the house. This was my 3rd time here and I will keep coming back

My favorite place for tasty Turkish food. The food was so savory. The service was helpful and kind. The prices are good for what you get. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I loved.

Some of the most flavorful, delicious and mouth watering Turkish good I’ve ever had. I’ve been to Turkey and it isn’t as good. I recommend the Adana and the Chicken kebab. Amazing, easy 5 stars for this gem in the heart of Philly.

This place is my first choice place. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to this restaurant. when I want to go to a good lunch, this place comes right away to my head. outstanding and varied food and a large list of dishes.courteous crew, and nice vibes. Also important, the bill is decent. I recommend this place with no doubt.

This our 2nd time we enjoyed it the food is delicious

Excellent place to have dinner. The staff was very helpful and provided great recommendations. The hummus was good, but the main entrees, such as the grilled chicken thighs or lamb kabobs were fantastic. Highly recommend. This place is also byob which is nice, and is overall very fairly priced.

I really enjoyed their food. I always get good customer service there. The place is well organised and the cashiers are always kind. Will come visit again.

We went there for breakfast and were personlly greated by the chef, which was a very nice touch. Overall the staff is super friendly and when they say there food does taste like in Turkey, the are right. The only downside was that it took 40 minutes for teas and coffee to be served and over an hour for the food to arrive that then arrived over another 20 minutes, so that we couldnt eat with our group of 6 together.

We went based on the reviews we read and were pleasantly surprised, small, cozy spot, which at the time we went was empty (perfect for us and around 3pm on a Monday) friendly, down to earth service and best of all the food (we had the platter for 2) was amazing! She offered free pre meal drinks as well as a nice cup of tea after with a small sample of baklava (YUMM). Pricing is reasonable for the location, would surely return!

Its my second time on this restaurant. Consistent quality of the food and the service was excellent. Recommend to try the lamb chops and the pistachio baklava. Both are kind small portions (if you are a big eater like myself lol), but delicious!!

A fantastic place for those who would like to refresh their old traditional taste of foods back home or who would like to try out delicious Mediterranean food blended with fresh spices and Turkish cuisine. In the pictures are some examples of entrees, main dishes and sides. I’m going to order Kunefe and Turkish coffee but I won’t be able to take a picture of them since I will be enjoying the chef’s delicacies :)

Really cute place with decent desserts and tea/coffee right off of South Street. Will definitely have to come back for dinner and breakfast! The menu looked great.

Good place to chill out, talk and excellent foodWe went on weekday evening and there was no reservation required.The ambience was good, with Low music. Not best in area for date, but good for family!

This place is worth giving a shot. They serve big portions for fair rates. Always neat and with excellent atmosphere. Would recommend to others.

The kebabs were delicious, the service was fast and prompt and the prices are pretty good.

Best place in Philly to have Turkish food. The ambience is good, and the people are really nice. We loved the complementary drink and appetizer. The kababs were tasty, so was a shrimp and garlic dish, highly recommended.For dessert we obviously had the kunefi and baklava. Not the best ones we have had, but good. Definitely coming back again.

service was amazing. i wish the spicy of my lamb was more potent other than that everything else was great. i loved the dessert and the all vegetable dish appetizer. get the lamb soup it melts in your mouth.

This restaurant offers wonderful service as well as tasty menu. One of the best restaurant ever. The food served quick and the rates were economical. Highly recommended.

I went here with a friend on Friday night and got in without a reservation which makes me think that people don't know about this restaurant. That must change. We ordered lamb chops and the mezze plate. The food was great with amazing rich flavors. I'm not an expert at Turkish Cuisine but I found it to be quite authentic. When one of our servers realized we didn't like the drink he recommended he graciously left it off of the check. I would recommend everyone to try it atleast once.

Delicious and finely made food, wonderful and friendly staff

Very well kept and accessible restaurant. They provide generous portions and for inexpensive prices. I liked the food very much and the waiters were very friendly and explanatory. Recommended.

This BYOB place is a sure shot Hit! Delicious grub, served fast! Will definitely be back. Try it out if you haven’t already.

The staff was welcoming, nice ambience and enjoyed variety of mix kebab platter to Turkish coffee and Baklava. We arrived late due to major fire on I-76 but the staff was very friendly and accommodated our late arrival.

Went here for my birthday with the family during lunch hours. Pretty much the best Turkish restaurant I have had in a while. Filling appetizers, succulent meat dishes and the most friendly waiter that made my birthday experience one to remember. Thank you Isot!

Tasty food. Nice ambience and hospitable staff. But I have seen other turkish restaurants which serve plates with more food quantities.

I ordered what I love which happens to be lamb chops. They were nice and tender but lacked that Turkish flavor which I expected. Other than that, the food was good!

Good food! Authentic Turkish! Must have Turkish coffee after your feast. Order some desert at this place. They have some of the best kebobs as well as Turkish deserts. Very fair prices. Parking may get tricky so walk if you can. They are open for lunch.

At the first moment you step in that place the stuff gives you a pleasant feeling. Very courteous stuff, it is a good place to to go out with friends and colleagues or with your date. delicious cooking, talented chief cook and stuff, comfortable cost and excellent service. Highly recommended.

Absolutely awesome ! Right from the service, decor, presentation and to the food. I have hardly been to place with such nice staff. Food is flavourful and delicious. We ordered several things and shared. Turkish breakfast plate , eggs with potatoes stand out. Will come back here next time to try the kababs.

So glad I tried this place. The food was delicious and the staff was so friendly! Perfect place to catch up with a friend and enjoy great food. Going to come back. Vegetarian friendly too.

This spot obviously knows how to take care of their clients. Consistently with a friendly mindset. The food is fairly priced, regularly delightful and neat.

Amazing food and service. Quiet ambiance, great for a date night. Would absolutely return!

Excellent pleasant service plus amazing tasty food here. We ordered the mixed meat platter and everything is delicious but my favorite got to be the lamp chop. Dessert may be too sweet for me but really good too. Totally recommend this amazing Turkish restaurant.
