Istanbul Restaurant

I had the opportunity to go there for the first time and try their food and cocktails. The food was good and the cocktails were great too. The boy who made the cocktails told us we're going to drink the best cocktails and it was very successful and the boy was very handsome and kind

Food was spot on. If you are a group of 4-6 I’ll highly recommend their ottoman special big portions really good deal. Loved the mezes and their cocktails! Service was very welcoming.

Great food and very friendly service. The desert we wanted was not available, so they gave us complimentary deserts instead. That is what we call excellent service! 💯

Very good food but not welcoming staff at the entrance: the men at the food window kept on exchanging strange glares to each others commenting in their language while I was asking for the food. Luckily the guys and the girls inside were definitely more kind. but I don't think I would come back. I felt like an alien.

Booked a table for 20 for a friend's stag. Ordered 3 Ottoman Platters which arrived extremely quickly to a really hungry bunch and everyone commented on how much food we got for our money and the incredible taste and flavours. I've always liked this restaurant so thought it fitting for a large group. The staff were so wonderful (and patient!) with a loud, merry and hungry crowd. Would always recommend this restaurant and still my favourite Turkish in London.

My partner and I visited this place once before,this was the second time so we can critique.
Lamb ribs are very rubbery and under cooked,rice had no flavor and the salad was very basic,no grilled onions,no pomegranate juice.
REALLY BAD DEFINITELY NOT WORTH £26
As it was takeaway we were very disappointed when we got home.
Never again!!!!!!!

We ordered a mix shish to share. The food was incredible good as well as the service. the dishes come with salad and bread. Also they offer you a cup of tea and baklava for free. I really really recommend this place.

Lovely fresh food, very friendly staff, good atmosphere at the restaurant. We had the lentil soup, lachmucan, adana kebabs with rice and salad. We were given complimentary fresh warm bread with a selection of sauces, salads, Turkish tea and Istanbul Incisi. The Istanbul Incisi are very tasty and the only place we have found that make them (a secret family recipe)! Highly recommend this place for a nice relaxing tasty meal.

Fantastic atmosphere, very friendly serving staff. The food served was fresh,hot with great presentation. Staff offered our friend and alternative dish due to their not allergy. The made our feel welcome if you are looking for fantastic food and service then the Istanbul Restaurant is a place to eat.

Fabulous food & service!!! Came to enjoy original Turkish food and was very impressed.
Service was brilliant 👏. Sim recommended a delicious main course that was to die for. She was very pleasant ☺.
Certainly recommend this place if anyone is looking for authentic Turkish food.
Only point I would recommend is that the Chefs at the entrance could welcome the guests if there is no reception staff.

Food took so long it was so poor cold burnt dry ,rude staff discustsing takeaway experience not even able to eat as it was so terrible the manager was there they take your money then send u the worst food ever

One of the best Turkish places I’ve ever been too, the food is absolutely exquisite. The flavours; the tenderness of the meats, chicken and rice. The complimentary starters are lovely and the sauces are very nice. It’s an amazing gem of a place, food will never let you down. The service is absolutely phenomenal, I’ve never experienced such amazing customer service. Honestly would highly recommend. Food is super.
