For years, Café Istanbul has been Albuquerque's most beloved destination for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. Every dish is prepared fresh using traditional recipes — from our slow-rotisserie chicken shawarma and handmade kibbeh to house-roasted baba ghanouge and freshly baked pies. Our kitchen is 100% Halal Zabiha, always.

We're more than a restaurant. Our in-house grocery section brings the flavors of Istanbul to your table — bulk hummus, tabbouleh, olives, feta, and prepared foods to enjoy at home. Stop in, explore the menu, and taste the difference.
