Well after not going there for a while, it was so nice to be back there, food as always was perfect , staff esp Julie were bob on and made you feel so welcome

We have eaten here in the past and have never been disappointed.

This is why we chose Cafe Istanbul to Celebrate our Daughters Graduation.

The food was excellent and the service was quick and attentive.

The price is comparable to other Turkish resterants we have eaten in.

My husband is Turkish and loved his food always a good sign :)

Was amazing and same as 2 years ago when I last went x hope they don’t change the menu now they’ve changed hands x

Very friendly welcoming staff, delicious food, reasonably priced & plentiful portions. Drinks are also reasonably priced, as we had a really good sparking rose wine for £21.00. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening and will definitely go back again soon. Very impressed.

The food is so fresh and tasty, beautifully presented... best restaurant for miles ... open kitchen nothing to hide ... always visit when on Manchester. I've recommended to friends and they all agree 5 star �

Popped in while passing on a busy night in Manchester. Even though they were full they managed to get us a table. The atmosphere, service and food was fantastic. The waitress was so friendly and helpful. The lamb is beautiful and succulent and the drinks must be cheapest in town .

Our first visit here for the two of us. We were celebrating a birthday and we were not dissapointed .

Service was first class. We chose the early bird menu and it was perfect for us.

We didn't try desert as we where too full. We decided to have a drink at the bar on our way out and ended up staying for several more. The lady on the bar was very sociable and made a perfect end to our experience. Definitely be back soon.

Love this place - great food - super service - helpful staff - good prices too

I held a networking event here on 9th January, the food was lovely and the service was excellent, Julie could not of been more friendly or helpful, cannot wait to go back for lunch very soon.

Had a very tasty lunch here. Went for the 9 item meze, adding wind, desert and coffee. Still made this a good value and excellent quality meal.

Had a great meal with great friends, really nice and courteous staff fantastic food yum yum Been lots of times and it never disappoints

Great place for food, though I only popped in during the afternoon for a drink and was welcomed. Patres and Julie both very friendly.

Down from Scotland for the week and was invited by a friend. Never been to a Turkish restaurant before. Was overwhelmed with the hospitality shown. The food was Amazing and we were well taken care of. Definitely go back.

Called in and had the Early Bird menu....yummy food for a fantastic price. Staff were lovely very attentive and smiley would definitely recommend �

Absolutely adore this place but hadn't been for years and was a bit emotional/nostalgic the waitress was lovely really looked after me. The food as ever was yummy brilliant value and a relaxed atmosphere. Will be going back soon :-)

Second time going there. Really enjoyed the food and overall atmosphere. The food was presented beautifully and quickly. Our main waitress was lovely.

I didn't appreciate the tip being added to the bill.

I'm all for tipping. It's my choice how much and if.

I didn't appreciate the woman who came to take payment storming off when I pointed this out, to alter the bill to the correct charge, With my card. Also storming off after I'd paid.

This left a very bitter taste in my mouth.

Haven't eaten here in quite a while, but always enjoyed the food. Ate there yesterday and had a lovely meal! A long standing restaurant in Manchester and still gets a thumbs up from me. Service, as ever, good. 👍😀

Ate here yesterday and the staff friendly and helpful when selecting both food and wine. Good food at reasonable prices. Loved the lamb chops.

If you want to order Chicken stuffed with Spinach please be aware they don't really want to make it for you as they said the cooking time is 25-30 mins. I said that was fine make it whilst people are having there starters. They then said you will still have to wait for it to be done. In other words it shouldn't be on the menu as they don't want to make it.



I made it myself last night and it was lovely xx
