If you're having trouble deciding where to eat tonight, maybe it's time for a trip to this food court in Nebraska. The unassuming restaurant serves dishes from four different types of cuisine: Turkish, America, Mediterranean, and Chinese. Istanbul Food Court in South Omaha is definitely not like any other food court you've been to - it's globally delicious!
From the outside, the building on South 42nd Street looks like it houses three separate restaurants.

There are three signs on the front, but make no mistake: this is one restaurant that serves Mediterranean, Turkish, American, and Chinese food, under the same roof.
Allow yourself a few minutes to look over the expansive menu.

What are you hungry for? There's a little bit of something for pretty much everyone at this unique eatery.
There are incredible gyros and fantastic falafel.

Salads, shish kebaps, and wraps all make an appearance, too.
If you're looking for something a little more familiar, Istanbul Food Court also has burgers, fries, Philly steak sandwiches, grilled salmon, and breaded mushrooms.

But why not expand your horizons with something new? The manti is great - the dumpling dish is popular in most parts of Asia. The Turkish version you'll find here is beyond yummy.
The Chinese food only takes up a small part of the menu, but it's no less worth a taste!

The chicken or shrimp fried rice make for a filling, comforting meal.
Don't even think of leaving without ordering a piece of baklava!

It's made from scratch right there in the kitchen, and it's so flaky and syrupy and crunchy that you'll probably want to order a backup piece. Try a Turkish coffee or tea, too - they're real treats!
