Istanbul Restaurant
Chicken Beyti was flavoursome, served with a generous salad and a portion of rice for £13.50. Complementary Turkish tea, bread and condiments were lovely.My only concern would be the young tattooed waiter who served us. I asked for Chicken Beyti and wanted to seek clarification by pointing at a picture of the dish, from which he looked disgruntled/annoyed. This isn’t the kind of service I’m used to, and so felt this took away from the overall experience.

We have visited a few times here, even before Prince Charles visited. The food used to be fantastic, but it needs consideration now. Just having some spices and herbs want make a food, it's has character. Food needs to be improved. The food is pricy, for the portion. But, overall its batter than some restaurant in Leicester.The waiter served us, she is fantastic. Had the knowledge about the dishes and offered us a fantastic Turkish tea, which we enjoyed. Some staff need training to be more friendly and smile or need to appear welcoming. Still overall, good.The store is very clean and tidy. Toilet facilities are very clean and accessible.Being visited by a royal member wants to make a place, one of the best. Food brings a lot of things. The memories, experiences, etc. There is always room for more improvement in many ways, rather taking a relaxed approach which only could bring distruction for any recurrent.

Visited with friends when in Leicester. The lamb chops are amazing. The jumbo platter was enough to feed an army. About a 15 minute wait for a table for 8 of us without a booking which was pretty respectable for a Saturday night. Will definitely visit again.

The food was amazing, and the staff we're really lovely. We had a chicken shawarma and meat shawarma. Although we thought it would come in a wrap/tortilla it was well presented. They gave us some naan breads whilst we waited for the food and they we're very lovely with service.

Istanbul Restaurant delivered a delightful dining experience with delicious kebabs. Finding good Turkish cuisine abroad can be a challenge, but this spot exceeded expectations. The staff's kindness and complimentary Turkish tea added to the charm. Your order of soup and a generous kebab plate for £45, along with a £5 tip, reflected the quality service. Thank you for everything.

My recent visit to Istanbul restaurant on Narborough Rd in Leicester was nothing short of amazing. I had the pleasure of trying their renowned Kabab Platter, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations.From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The restaurant's atmosphere was inviting, with its tasteful decor and soft lighting, creating a cozy and relaxed dining environment.Now, onto the star of the show - the Kabab Platter. It was a culinary masterpiece. The platter featured a medley of grilled meats, each perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The flavors were simply divine, and the meats were incredibly tender and juicy. The variety on the platter allowed me to savor a range of tastes, from the rich and savory lamb to the perfectly spiced chicken.Accompanying the meats were an array of delectable sides, including fresh salads, fluffy rice, and warm, pillowy pita bread. The combination of these elements made for a well-balanced and satisfying meal.What truly stood out, besides the outstanding food, was the exceptional service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, providing recommendations and ensuring that my dining experience was nothing short of perfection.In conclusion, Istanbul restaurant on Narborough Rd in Leicester is a culinary gem that I highly recommend. The Kabab Platter is a must-try, offering a symphony of flavors that will delight your taste buds. Whether you're a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or just looking for a memorable dining experience, Istanbul is the place to go. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu offerings.
