Group of 5 of us travelled from Birmingham to this Turkish.
On arrival the place was very busy.
We decided to get a family platter.
The family platter was enough for 5 of us. The food was cooked well.
The lamb chops were very nice.
We were given a free cold starter. Very nice of the staff.
We will be revisiting again
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.

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.
The service was impressive! The servers where very accommodating and patient. The food was amazing as well. The serving time was also very fast under 30mins
The restaurant was decent size. Nice modern decor. We were welcomed by friendly staff..
The starter bread and the sauce was amazing. We could have just had that all day.
We ordered a mixed Platter for 2 but it was too much food for us to finish. It would have enough for 3 people. The food was flavourfull.
Definitely good value for money and worth another visit.
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.
Nice place, very friendly Team and delicious food.
We stopped in here on Saturday early evening. The welcome was great. The food on the tables as we walked to our seats looked amazing. And our ordered food matched this. Mixed kebab brilliant meat nice and tender. The bread and dips to start with very nice. Highly recommend.
Seated, ordered, and food brought very quickly.
Large portion sizes.
Restaurant is very clean and well organised.
Delicious.
I’m very lucky to live close by to this restaurant. It’s very nice inside, the staff are lovely and the food is amazing. Even when you get a take out it’s still just as nice. Generous portions, free Turkish bread and all at a reasonable price. My favourite is the mix kebab, it’s sort of a mini platter of everything, but the best thing to do is go in a group and order the big sharing platters, they really are enjoyable! Can’t wait to eat there again!
