We came to Istanbul for my partners birthday this weekend and can honestly say this was some of the nicest food we have had in a long time. Not only was this the best food but the staff and service was outstanding. Such a friendly atmosphere and gorgeous restaurant, the staff could not do enough for you.Would recommend Istanbul to everyone!Thank you so much for a lovely meal and we will be back very shortly.

We came in for dinner on a Friday night and we’re served promptly and with very friendly service (thanks Isaac, and Izzy!) Food was lovely and huge - we ordered the set meals for two (hot mezze platter, mixed grill to share and a pudding) and were essentially defeated by the starter (although we did order an extra prawn starter and extra hummus, which we didn’t actually need in the end). The bread is crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, the meats were juicy and the platters had plenty of variety on them. 10/10 looking forward to our next visit :)

Superb lunch with a friend today at the Istanbul Restaurant in Beverley. The food was delicious and fabulous friendly service. Vast choice of dishes available. Can highly recommend . The restaurant is clean with a nice ambiance . Handy car parking available across the road . Will be going back again very soon.

Me and my partner went to this restaurant on friday December 29th. I've never been to this restaurant or any Turkish restaurant. However, my parnter had been to this one previously and loved it. Well where do i start with this fantastic restaurant. The staff ....could not be any more friendlier. The restaurant was quiet that evening which i don't know how it could be as the food is amazing. So they had more time to concentrate on each table. We had a really interesting chat throughout the evening with one of the waiters, an extremely friendly and helpful man, especially when my partner was asking what the difference was between certain dishes etc. He even helped us by ringing a local taxi for us at the end. And when the food arrived, delicious, every single bite. A lot of the food i had i have not tried before, well i will be trying it again if it's cooked and presented as well as it was that night. There was also a good selection of drinks, alcoholic and non alcoholic. The location is great, its in central area of beverley so within easy reach of most of beverleys accommodation. I will be back at some point and recommending this place as well.

This was our 4th visit to Istanbul and again it was excellent! The food is always delicious - and there’s plenty of it too! All staff are very friendly and the service is excellent… every time. The food and waiting staff are brilliant. Highly recommended!!

Well i thought i would give this restaurant a try in Beverley as the other turkish restaurant closed down ,On entering it us very bright, to bright ,we where showed to our table, which was squshed in between 2 others.It wasn't that busy ,at the time ,the music is quite loud ,the food was just ok the portions are quite small ,and the rice is just rice not bulger rice as says on menu .The staff if anything where abit to much as was asked 4 times if we were ok .To some up place needs to have more of a an ashmospere, the food bigger portions ,thw staff to be more relaxed ,and oh yes you dont get any warm bread and dips while waiting for your food.All in all not as half as good as the one that closed down .

It’s a nice restaurant laid out well, the service was a bit awkward, verging on overly attentive. The food was just ok. We had the hot meze which included some cheap, processed, frozen calamari which was really not good. Then we had the mixed grill which was luke warm and again ok at best. Nothing (except the calamari) was terrible, but it was all a bit bland, definitely no wow factor and for the price it really isn’t value for money. All salad was brown and limp. 100% could make it better at home and that sort of defeats the object of going out and spending over £100 on a meal. It’s got the potential to be good but definitely missed the mark. I absolutely love Turkish food and was excited to try this place but will definitely be the first and last time. If you like mediocre then this is definitely the spot for you!

The place is generally not a good representation of what Turkish cuisine is like. The food was good but not Turkish. I definitely don’t recommend Iskender Kebab as it is not Turkish Iskender Kebab, which was put as “Turkish signature dish” on the menu. I was so excited to show my boyfriend what Iskender was but it ended up with such a disappointment.. even the music wasn’t Turkish. People were friendly tho

Had a great meal here.The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was good.The place looks nice too it has a nice atmosphere.I had the garlic mushrooms which was thriving with flavour. I had the lamb shank which itself was great, the rice was a bit bland but that's my only critique.The main guy there came over to see if our food was good which was nice and the food was nice.For our main course 3 people came to check the same thing to see if the food was good. They were just all trying to be helpful which was good.Would definetaly recommend, they had a nice menu and our food was really good.If you need to park there is a public car park just opposite. They have a website you can pay otherwise it is cash only. A good thing was the resturant changed a £5 for us so we could pay for parking which was nice.
I have been several times to this fabulous restaurant with my sister, parents and my husband and have always enjoyed the experience and service we receive. The food is so fresh and delicious, the service is so friendly and personal you feel like part of the family when you eat here! It’s truly amazing! Recently we went to celebrate a birthday and was, once again, blown away by the generosity and incredible experience we had. Such wonderful people who really cater to your every need! Well worth a visit for a true taste of incredible Turkish cuisine and hospitality! Thank you so much ☺️ we will always be loyal customers xx

On a rare night out we decided to try here for tea. We had the set meal with the hot meze and all the food was cooked beautifully. The staff were slightly too attentive as it was quieter (got offered deserts before our main meal) but they were all polite and well dressed. Puddings were good although I do prefer baklava with a scoop of ice-cream personally. Only thing that let the meal down was the tea, I asked for an apple tea expecting a traditional Turkish one and it was a herbal bag one which broke so I couldn't actually drink it and the drinks were taken away before I had a chance to comment on it so ended up paying for a pretty awful drink. Apart from that overall it was good.
