Istanbul Barbecue & Bistro

Offering a taste of Asia Minor to Liverpool’s hungry diners, Istanbul Barbecue & Bistro combines traditional Turkish cuisine, friendly service and a cosy ambience, providing an all-around superlative experience for their diners. Head chef Gustav Serce brings his decades of expertise to the kitchen, and is proud to serve lunch and dinner seven days a week to locals on Woolton Village’s Allerton Road, just moments from St. Peter’s Church and Woolton Mano

Drawing in guests from all over the Liverpool area and even further afield, Istanbul Barbecue & Bistro on Allerton Road is revered for its high-quality, healthy and satisfying Turkish options. Hailing from a small village near Istanbul, chef Guven has worked his way up to becoming one of the area’s most respected restaurateurs, and his front-of-house team is just as committed to providing excellent customer to each and every one of the Woolton restaurant’s guests.

Grilled specialities are without a doubt the core of Istanbul Barbecue & Bistro’s extensive menu. There’s much to choose from at this Woolton legend – adana (chopped lamb with peppers and chilli), tavuk sis (skewered chunks of chicken breast grilled to perfection), and patlican kebab (aubergine with minced lamb on skewers, topped with a delicious tomato sauce), plus many others. Mediterranean mains like kofte guvec, a type of Turkish meatballs, and bayildi, a vegetarian speciality consisting of aubergine stuffed with roasted vegetables and herbs, are perfect for diners looking to indulge in bold, satisfying flavours. Try all of these and more at Liverpool’s Istanbul Barbecue & Bistro, but make sure to reserve ahead!
