The restaurant was very nice and very busy with people waiting. When we ordered, our starters were brought out immediately and then the waitress tried to take my husband's plate before he had finished his meal so we felt a little rushed. Reasonably priced and the food was very tasty.

The starters were really good, they were the highlight of our evening. The main courses were ok at best. We were a group of 4 and each of us ordered something different: shish kebab, pirzola, special chicken, lamb shanks. While we did not hate what we ate, none of us rated the food high, either. The pilav served alongside the main courses was awful. Are you sure the chef is Turkish? Because it definitely was not the Turkish style rice pilav that we ate. Dessert, on the other hand, was a complete disaster. We ordered baklava. What was served was not baklava at all, maybe sarıburma or şöbiyet, but not baklava. Moreover, it came with this sauce that really masked the taste of the dessert. Please do something about your baklava, it ruins the name of this otherwise beautiful dessert.

Freshly cooked, amazing food! Staff are just delightful, down to earth, warm and very friendly. Can't wait to go back soon, the chicken and walnut, followed by the Topkapi Special chicken so, so good. Oh and did I mention the yummo freshly baked pitta.

Saturday date night with my husband. Service was excellent. Smiling staff were very attentive. We ordered the hot meze to start which was delicious. May favourite was the meatballs then we had the sharing fish platter. The prawns were a bit rubbery as they were overcooked but swordfish and seabass were beautifully cooked. Would definitely return and recommend to others

This was our first visit and we really liked it. We had the 6 meze and bottle of wine deal for £19.95 for two people. Lovely food - particularly the falafel and the sausage - and very friendly service. Would definitely recommend Topkapi and will eat there again.

To be honest I wasn't sure if Turkish Cuisine was going to be my thing as I'm not a huge meat fan. Booked this for friends and I had a prawn starter and a veggie mousaka for main and it was all delicious! Clearly made with lots of fresh ingredients, good value and great service. Will definitely be back.

We had an enjoyable meal for 4. The starters were good- particularly the yoghurt dips. Meat dishes were all lamb with a very good kofta and a slightly over cooked grilled lamb. We fidbt have desserts but the Turkesh coffee was good.

Went to Topkapi on Deansgate Manchester for the first time after reading reviews on line and passing it many times on our visits to Manchester. It was smaller inside than expected,but that made it more cosy in a way. The food was delicious. Fresh tasting with lovely salads. The presentation was very good. Although they did not have our first selection of wines, we did end up with a Classic Italian wine we like and they charged us as if it was the house wine. A lovely jesture of good will. We will be returning.

Second visit but a little disappointing compared to what I remember. Food was average, and needs a little refining. Some of the food was smothered in a basic tomato sauce which made it difficult to see exactly what I was eating from a mixed meze platter, having not been explained by the waitress what the contents were.

Excellent all round experience. Beautiful fresh food and very friendly service at a very reasonable price. 10 out of 10. This was our first time visiting the restaurant, but certainly won't be the last.
