About İstanbul Kebab House
A small Turkish and Mediterranean kitchen in downtown Halifax, built around the charcoal grill.
A taste of Istanbul, made in Halifax.
Tucked onto 1569 Dresden Row in downtown Halifax, İstanbul Kebab House serves Turkish and Mediterranean cooking the way it’s meant to be — over charcoal, made to order, and shared at the table.
From kebabs and mezze to baklava, every plate is built around the same idea: honest, fire-grilled food, plenty of it, and a room that feels like home.

Every kebab, every day
A small kitchen, built around fire.
İstanbul Kebab House is a Turkish and Mediterranean kitchen — not a buffet, not a chain. Everything is cooked to order, over charcoal, by hand.
That means a wait sometimes, and it means the plate that comes out was made for you, not reheated from a batch. It’s a small trade-off we think is worth it.
Turkish & Mediterranean, side by side.
The Grill
Kebabs and kofte, charcoal-grilled and built around the skewer — the backbone of the menu.
The Table
Mezze, salads and shared plates, meant to sit in the middle of the table alongside everything else.
Food is better around the table.
Every plate here is sized for sharing — that's not an accident.
Come hungry. Leave with a story.
A small room, a hot grill, and plates meant to be passed around — that’s the whole idea.
