This is one the best restaurant I've visited in the last year. Came here with my friends and cousins and we so much loved. The attendant and cooks were lovely. Let our pics speak for us.

Café Istanbul is located in Lancaster town centre and as one would have guessed, serves Turkish cuisine. It is a simple, comfortable, non-flashy, casual dining restaurant & seeing Lahmacun (Turkish lavash with mince,like a thin crust pizza) on their menu was a good enough reason to give it a try.The ambience was comfortable with music, portraits and lamps giving it a good central Eurasian vibe. The Turkish coffee is an expresso shot served in dainty porcelain set. Small, but packs a punch, a Caffeine high is guaranteed. The Lahmacun was flavourful and the mix shish, a combination of lamb shish, chicken shish & lamb doner was great as a meal. The lamb & chicken shish felt a tad under seasoned but the lamb doner compensated for it.All meals were served with a generous serving of vegetables & greens, which did our gut some good. We were happy with the meal and would certainly recommend the lahmacun. We did have a small scare because they accepted only cash payment. (Did not notice the board) We are hoping it was a temporary glitch due to the card machine not functioning that day.

We ordered a takeaway, it took a while to come but we were looking forward to it.When the food came we noticed that my wife's food wasn't exactly as we ordered, we also ordered a portion of chips but this didn't come, but instead my wife received a small handful on her meal which wasn't expected, not good if you have allergies or are vegan or vegetarian.Both my wife's meal and my pizza were really cold.We will certainly never order from here again and won't recommend it either.

Went there for lunch with my daughters. The food was very good and portion sizes decent. However the overall service left question marks.We ordered three items, two arrived but the third -a Pide did not. On enquiring from the waitress, she realised she had forgotten to enter it on the computer. It was surprising she did not note the order down as she took it. In all fairness, she did apologise, but it was a shame that one of us had to wait 15 minutes more whilst the other two finished their meal.It was even more surprising that the restaurant did not accept card payments. It is a fairly large establishment and especially during the current situation where cash handling is not very popular they think it is acceptable to operate on a cash only basis. So, one of us had to walk to the bank in heavy rain to get the cash to pay the bill.

Absolutely amazing food, possibly the best Turkish meal I've had in England. Friendly staff too and very reasonably priced. We'll definitely be back if ever passing!

Really big portions with great taste. Haven't had Turkish food before so can't comment on the authenticity but as far as food goes its pretty good.

Love this place! Excellent food and customer service. Very friendly staff. Child friendly. The music and the beautiful decorations make you feel as you were really in Istanbul. And the tea is absolutely my favourite!
