I've had Turkish food a couple times before but this place was my favorite so far. The appetizer was a pastry stuffed with Turkish cheeses and honey to die for. Meat was soft. Charred nicely and tender. We will DEFINITELY be back! Oh and the drinks were strong enough ;) great Moscow mule
We drove an hour to try this Turkish restaurant and it was so worth it! The food was amazing! you can tell everything is made in-house and true to the culture. Our waiter turned out to be the owner himself, and he gave us the best service - super friendly, full of jokes, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was beautifully traditional, and they even had authentic outfits we could try on for pictures! Such a fun and memorable experience for the whole family. We’ll definitely be coming back!
I had dinner at Constantine's Restaurant with a large group, and this was my first time eating Turkish food. Our waiter, Hussain provided exceptional service and made some great recommendations. We started off with a bottle of Angora cabernet sauvignon, which was from Turkey. It was very good and I also never had wine from Turkey. They brought a big loaf a bread to the table that was the size of a football. For an appetizer, we started with the Grilled Saganaki Cheese. It was very tasty. For our dinner, we shared the Constantine's Kebab Assortment. It included lamb chops, Kofte, chicken kebab and wings. It was an enormous amount of food and it was nice to be able to try so many of their food options. For dessert, we had the Baklava that was a great way to end the night. I was very impressed with the food and service at Constantine's and it was so wonderful to try Turkish food for the first time. I highly recommend this restaurant.
We tried Constantine’s today for lunch and it was fantastic! We had the Turkish Pastry, Meat Pide and Adana Kebab. All were outstanding and we would order again. The Hummus was the best we have ever had. The service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was nice. We even tried some delicious Turkish Red Wine. If you like Turkish food, you will love it. If you don’t know Turkish food, give it a try. You will be glad you did!
Service was off the charts amazing! Of course we had to try the clay pot dinner. The pottery kebab was dinner and a show! We started off with the mixed mezzanine. The spreads were fresh and flavorful. The kept us supplied with Lavas. My son had the lamb shanks with was excellent but the eggplant puree stole the show in that dish. Will be back. Highly recommend 👌
Constantine Turkish Restaurant – Gastonia Exploring the world one plate at a time! Beautiful building, great atmosphere, and really solid service. The food definitely lived up to it. We started with the Mixed Mezze, a sampler of 7 different mezze that were all explained to us and perfect for dipping the bread. Every one of them was good. We also had the lentil soup, which was warm, comforting, and full of flavor. We finished with the Pottery Kebab, brought out on fire in a traditional Turkish clay pot with beef, vegetables, and Turkish rice. The presentation was fun, the flavors were on point, and it easily feeds two- really recommended.
Hidden gem! Truly a delicious and filling meal. The hummus and other meze tasted homemade - we basically licked the bowls. We were impressed with their presentations and selection of authentic options. Service was so welcoming and kind! Going to be coming back every time I’m in Charlotte - couldn’t recommend more for delicious Turkish food!
Azzie was our server and she was amazing she constantly checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Between that and the tender texture and bold flavors I would 100% recommend. My husband is a burger and fries kinda guy and even he was REALLY presently surprised loved the food.
Here’s a polished review you can post: ⸻ We had a wonderful experience at Constantine’s Restaurant. The mixed kebab was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every bite tasted fresh and well seasoned. A special thank you to the manager, Mehmet, who was incredibly welcoming and attentive. He made sure everything was just right and created such a warm, friendly atmosphere. His hospitality truly elevated the whole experience. Highly recommended, we will definitely be coming back!
We wanted to try something different so we stopped into Constantine’s. The service was outstanding!! The food was excellent!!! We ordered the lamb casserole and one of the kababs. For dessert we tried the baklava. Hands down the best baklava we’ve ever had. The Turkish coffee was excellent. This will be a regular stop for us in the future. I simply cannot recommend Constantine’s enough!!!! A MUST try!
