It is good enough to enjoy your time
January 6
If you like to eat slowly in a small and cozy cafe, then you are here. Actually, during the 4 days of our arrival in Minsk, we only had a delicious meal here. We did not think that we would come to a Turkish cafe in Minsk, we expected to eat delicious dishes of Belarusian cuisine, but alas, it did not happen. I liked everything in Iskander: the meeting with the host, the waiting time, and the service, but the food is just amazing, as if we had visited our favorite cafe in Istanbul. Thanks for the delicious food, free tea, thanks separately. Good luck and prosperity to you. With thanks from the guests from Moscow

EVERYTHING compensates for the quality of the food. The portions are simply superbly large. The food is very tasty. The staff looks Turkish and you can feel it. Very polite and cultured. I would say sincerely.. . Disadvantages? When the dishes were served, I stopped noticing them.... This place is not for Instagram show-offs, but for a delicious hearty meal.....

Great salads. The grilled lamb liver shish kebab was great. The service is fast. The staff is friendly. We liked it.
The only complaint is that the beer range can be slightly expanded. 4-5 bottled varieties won't be enough.

A pleasant surprise. I don't really like Turkish cuisine, but I just haven't tried the dishes from this cafe))
We met Kemal, he really communicates with all the visitors. Everything was great, a simple, cozy atmosphere. I recommend. Someone wrote a bad review about the delivery. Unpleasant situations happen in all cafes, bars, and restaurants... There are people working there.
I recommend it!!!

If you want to plunge into the vibe of small cafes in Istanbul and feel the atmosphere of real Turkish cuisine, feel free to come here. A cozy little cafe with real fresh and high-quality Turkish cuisine. It often happens that the owner himself, Mr. Kemal, is very pleasant in communication, will tell you everything about Turkish cuisine

This place is an ideal example of the fact that it is wrong to rate an institution according to the room. You come in and see: not too many places, a simple room design, diluted with pictures of Turkish sights and words in Arabic (if I'm not mistaken) the language dedicated to religion. Turkish songs are also played. Most of all there are foreigners here.
But now for the most interesting thing - the food. Compared to other restaurants, the portions are large, hearty, and most importantly delicious! It more than pays back the money given! Baklava is no different from the one served in Turkish hotels! Very friendly and courteous staff: welcome, several employees of the institution will definitely ask if it is delicious. Also, at parting, they will ask how, what... People really behave like they do in Turkish cafes! All this Turkish atmosphere comes from them!
I liked everything. Everything is gorgeous! Let's look again!

On 04/23/25 we visited this wonderful institution.
Everything was delicious beyond words. The atmosphere reminded me of the very secluded cafes in the area where I lived in Istanbul and went to drink tea in the evenings. I recommend it to everyone who loves Turkish cuisine. I will definitely come back again. They said the owner cooked it himself. I kiss his hands.

We prepared the order quickly enough.The dishes seemed satisfying to us, the meat was cooked well, soft, tender.I didn't have enough spices.The staff and the host are friendly.And here is the cafe's entourage, slightly dull.It felt like a roadside cafe, and it was cramped. There was no green tea in the range of drinks.

100% Turkish dishes!
Iskander kebab, lula - very, very tasty! We couldn't even taste everything, such portions are large. We will be happy to come back again and again))
The serving of coffee and hot is just fantastic, as if you've been to Turkey)
A quiet, cozy place to have a delicious meal and chat.
It should be noted that the owner of the establishment comes out to greet the guests - it is so valuable. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Thank you for recreating and maintaining the oriental flavor, great! Now Iskender cafe is one of the favorite places in Minsk💖

Fellow travelers, you've raised this cafe to the skies). There's nothing stunning about the cuisine here, just the usual Turkish food. And they cooked for a long time. The only advantage is the dishes from under the knife, there's no arguing.
There are enough stronger establishments with national cuisine around

A good place to relax and have lunch. We visited on a weekday with my daughter. We had a great time, had lunch. Very tasty! I was especially impressed by such a dish as "Sahan kebab". Just a bomb and a heated feed. We will definitely come again! Many thanks to the chef and the staff, great guys.

Very tasty Turkish food. You come, Turkish music is playing, you sit happy, you eat huge portions of meat dishes and you are nostalgic for your beloved Turkey. Dessert Kunefe in the very heart! Timan is a very pleasant host, good-naturedly welcomes, giving the impression that he came to visit an old friend. I don't have to wait long for the order, I get into the taste and constantly order something. As a result, I'm happy and barely eating, I'm barely going home. I've been here 3-4 times already.

It was celebrated on March 8 by the company. We came in by accident. Cooking on a solid "5", the portions are not just big - they are huge. A small minus, the waitress needs to be more relaxed - this is both a plus for the cafe and for tips. There were no candles under the main course to heat it, but it was cooked very very tasty. Come in, you won't regret it.

It's a great place. The interior is a little tired, but this place is about something else. I won't say for the authenticity of the dishes, but: large portions, everything is delicious and inexpensive. The staff is very friendly. They say that there is a delivery. I will definitely come back again.

An authentic corner of Turkey) The owner of the establishment welcomes the guests. The food corresponds to the attitude. The portions are large. I want to look in more often. I was very pleasantly surprised. The menu is mainly lamb and beef dishes.

I came in for coffee, I'll say this, the coffee is not bad, not from a vending machine. But judging by the fact that there is a hookah, I recommend replacing both tablecloths and sofas. Burnt holes spoil the atmosphere, and I've watched reviews before. If you want more loyal consumers, create an atmosphere of comfort, not a market eatery. I repeat- coffee and the speed of its preparation, as well as the taste: normal.

The atmosphere is like in a typical Turkish Lokanta canteen (if you have been to Turkey). We only ate soup, it was good. The prices for the dishes seemed quite high for an institution of this level.
