The service was friendly and welcoming, and we particularly enjoyed the Turkish tea and coffee. The portions were generous and the sharer selections were fantastic. We highly recommend this restaurant.

The staff was excellent, the food was excellent, and the prices were very affordable. Claudia was our server and she was very professional and friendly. I will definitely be returning again.

We received hard bread and when we asked for a replacement, the manager/owner informed us that they had run out of their usual bread and had to purchase it from elsewhere. Despite claiming to be out of normal bread, a teenage couple who arrived after us were served perfectly normal bread. We had to request the salad that was supposed to come with our Chicken Kofte and Shawarma meal, and they forgot to provide us with tap water. We ordered the Istanbul Special Pide based on the waiter's claim that it contained mixed chicken and lamb, but it turned out to be sausage instead. The manager was also impolite when we expressed our disappointment. Although we have visited this restaurant 3 or 4 times before without any issues, this experience was unsatisfactory. We were also disappointed with the smaller portions and bland boiled rice. We did not receive what we expected and had to pay full price, which is unacceptable. Unfortunately, the lowest rating on TripAdvisor is 1 star, but I would not recommend Istanbul Restaurant.

I could have kept on eating it : I had the Beyti with cous cous salad which for me was a really good choice. A turkish coffee, then sadly had to leave as local parking is one hour only, I wish I could find somewhere nearby to park for longer to enjoy a more relaxed lunch. Staff are friendly without hovering over you, and I Love the lanterns : Nest time in leicester, I will be there again .
