Istanbul Turkish Restaurant

Never let's you down. Food and service was excellent. If you haven't been make a plan too.

Excellent food, very good service. Just think the decor could have made more of the old bank and it features. Would recommend for a good meal.

The food was lovely. I had whitebait starter. It was fab. Then we had the sharing platter for 2 for our main. This was really good too. The portion sizes are massive. The staff were lovely.

The Istanbul restaurant if a great place to eat, it's a really nice atmosphere and friendly staff, with an open kitchen, we have been before and will definitely return. Thanks guys

Food was excellent, service was great, people were very nice and welcoming, would definitely recommend, overall good value for money, top night, will be back very soon.

Excellent atmosphere, service and amibiance. The food is the real winner though as it was top notch and ample size. So much so they allowed us to take a doggy bag with us!

Absolutely fantastic place, food and atmosphere were amazing! Staff very attentive and we had a fabulous night - highly recommend for a very enjoyable night with excellent food and service

This is a little diamond Food was amazing The staff where lovely and quick to help you Well done guys!!!

Unfortunately, even though we had booked through Quandoo, the restaurant weren't expecting us. They were, however, very accommodating and found two places at the end of a table for eight which was set for a party expected later (an hour and a half after we arrived so we didn't have to rush). The food was very good and served quickly (we only ordered a main but were served a free starter of dips and flat bread). The restaurant was quite busy and became a bit noisy (probably due to the high ceilings - it used to be a bank) but, overall, a pleasant experience.

Excellent service and the quality of the food was also superb. We had the mezze platter. Wow. Try the turkish beer efes also very good. Would recommend a visit.

Good authentic Turkish food very friendly and helpful staff a welcome change from Indian restaurants. Would recommend to friends, will definitely pay another visit in the near future.

Great restaurant, tasty food and big portions of food. Would definitely recommend trying even if you're not keen on Turkish food! Plus we had complimentary fruit teas at the end of the meal.

This is our 2nd visit. The food is fresh and really tasty. Love how you can see the meat being cooked. The service is also good. We will definitely visit again.

Fantastic !! i haven't got a bad point about the place definitely worth a try. If you want authentic Turkish this is the place !

Much improved. I visited this restaurant in the first week of opening and was disappointed with the service and the overall ambience of the place although the food was good. However, my friends and I decided to give the place another visit after hearing recent reviews. I am pleased to say that we had a lovely evening. The food was excellent and the service was very good. Will definitely be returning.

Good food and service. Restaurant feels like it's lacking a bit of atmosphere. Think it's due to the high ceilings rather than the actual decor.

Fabulous, tasty and healthy food; excellent wine; extremely patient and attentive waiters; pleasant surroundings. We had a super evening! I would recommend The Istanbul without hesitation.

Service is fantastic , customer service is excellent and the food is phenomenal. Overall one of the best places we have eaten and would highly recommend. Darren and Sharon.

Enjoyed our trip, good atmosphere, food cooked fresh, good value, and good food. They do seem to have some turkish wines-but when i ordered a bottle of house red, was told it was turkish, but was in fact italian-would certainly go back again

Exceptionally good food, with helpful and friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you. Will definitely be going back on a regular basis. Would recommend any one to try this place

food and service very good . Background music was a bit mournful . Decor could do with an interior designer to create the right look

Extensive menu for starters and mains but limited pudding choice (meals are very filling so could not manage a pudding). Food and service are excellent. Restaurant is very clean. Free cup of tea at the end of the meal . Recommend the apple tea. Free piece of Turkish delight each at the end of the meal.

Excellent value for money. Well cooked, tasty food at a reasonable price. Friendly staff, good atmosphere, overall a very good dining experience. Will visit again , and would recommend to anyone.

The food was great and the menu offered many options to choose from. We chose the platter for 2 which was really good value for money. The place had a nice feel to it and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Food was very good - not exceptional, but very good, tasty and plenty of it. A really nice change to Chinese, Indian, pub grub, burgers. Service tonight was great. Absolutely recommend it.

Food was amazing as always. Service was a lot faster then previous visit. Looking forward to my next visit. Little disappointed in desert (tiramisu) as the front was melted and warm and back was freezing. Like it had been put in microwave

Fresh and delicious food. We all enjoyed our visit and I will definitely be coming back and telling everyone to try this hidden gem. The Efes Turkish beer was tasty and we had wonderful meals. My boyfriend is a veggie and he loved it!

Visited the restaurant mid week with a friend who had not been before. We received the usual high standard of food and service that takes me back there and won my friend over completely as she also plans to return. Well done.

firs t time at this restaurant it was very nice sta ff were friendly and the food was fresh and very well cooked . will be going again ,

We always enjoy our visits to Istanbul, great atmosphere, gorgeous food, quirky building and great value for money. Went with a friend that had not been before and she also was very impressed. Lovely evening as always.

Can't fault it, the staff was pleasant, the restaurant was clean and the food was plentiful, we had the sharing platter for 4 £40 But it lacked the wow factor

Istanbul Turkish Restaurant was really tasty, The building is beautiful and staff are really welcoming. Food is unashamedly authentic turkish, can't stay away from this place.

Istanbul serves lovely fresh tasting food. The kitchen is open and clean. We enjoyed watching cook the food. The staff were very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

A pleasant change from the usual humdrum of curry houses and "pretend" Mediterranean restaurants (non-Mediterranean owners and chefs cooking pasta, fish and steaks) - this is traditional in every sense. Lovely setting, clean, attentive staff, lovely food, good pricing. Cant fault it on any level. A pleasure.

We didn't think the staff were very friendly , looked a bit miserable when we arrived . starter of meatballs wasn't very warm , thought main dishes could have had a bit more on the plate . we ordered more bread and didn't get it . Managed to get a smile from the manager upon leaving :( No belly dancer either

Great food and a really nice restaurant we will be going back in the near future for sure Portions were excellent and staff very attentive

Quite simply amazing tasty food, lively and lovely suroundings, service very attentive would go there again nice change for a night out total price reasonable

The food was excellent and the service brilliant, friendly staff, lovely place to visit whatever the occasion..this was my third visit and would recommend it highly.

Good location in Blackheath. It was a quiet Saturday night, food was great. Everything is cooked fresh and you can see it being done which is good. Price for this sort of meal and drinks is on par with any restaurant of this sort. Would recommend for anyone wanting to try this sort of food.

After reading various positive reviews I was a little disappointed. Booked table via Quandoo but name was not listed when arrived. Upon being seated we did not get any sauces with the supplied bread whilst other tables did? Service varied depending on who attended table to fulfil request as certain staff appeared to be in training. Overall was not impressed with service however food was tasty
