How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Middle Eastern
Istanbul brings a Turkish branch of Middle Eastern cooking to Speedway Boulevard. Begin with meze, then move toward pide, grilled vegetables, kebabs, and deeply seasoned meat plates meant for sharing. The kitchen's use of yogurt, herbs, eggplant, bread, and open flame gives the menu a coherent regional identity, while the full bar encourages an unhurried dinner.

- Mediterranean
Istanbul centers Turkish cooking within Tucson's broader Mediterranean scene. Kebabs, pide, meze, grilled vegetables, and richly seasoned meats give the menu both shareable starters and substantial plates. The full bar and comfortable Speedway room support a leisurely dinner, while the kitchen's Turkish focus keeps the restaurant's regional point of view distinct.
