My family and I have always loved istanblue, however after their refurb, we went to try the Sunday roast dinner today and couldn’t have been more pleased. First of all, the service is second to none (as always. ) Secondly, what they have done with the decor is truly beautiful, and OF COURSE! The food is always beautiful, hence why we always return, however I’m so excited they are going down the route of offering breakfast and Sunday roast- they truly didn’t disappoint! Also want to add the owner always goes out of his way to ensure everyone is happy and asks for feedback- I honestly think this is something that is overseen by many restaurants these days, and I just think that’s an extra special touch. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Credit to Royton.

Been a few times always enjoyed it. Food very good, staff excellent and good atmosphere. 4/10/2024. Restaurant has been closed for a refurbishment and reopened today, we we're invited by a friend who work's at the restaurant to go and see the new layout and try the new menu. The new layout makes the restaurant brighter with new tables and chairs. The food and service was excellent, another 5 🌟 stars.

Our wedding anniversary, decided to come back here,as our previous visit was a huge hit! We were not disappointed. The staff are so friendly, and although early on a Monday evening, the atmosphere was welcoming. We had the VIP sharing platter, it was absolutely delicious and far more than we could manage, but looking forward to left overs for lunch! Sadly no room for dessert, I had been looking so forward to baklava ( homemade served warm with a scoop of ice cream) SO the free portion was so very much appreciated! We will be hurrying back!

The food is delicious, staff very friendly, polite and attentive. Before 6pm it's £19.95 for 2 course. The portions are very generous . We had tzatziki and vine leaves with delicious warm bread. Then lamb and chicken kebabs served with lovely salad, rice, peppers and sauces. Irish coffee was served with lots of cream and fruit. We were also served with complimentary balaclava. I would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant for couples, families, and parties.

Food NEVER fails. Always fresh, delicious and great portions. The sea bass is always my go to and to finish it off with the poached pear is just marvellous. The staff is also lovely too, Mehmet is very kind and accommodating. I can confidently say this is one of best restaurants in Royton, you can tell there is thought behind the food and its preparation. Always a pleasure to dine when in Royton.

Our lovely friend and ( we joke,) our adopted daughter, treated my husband and I to a meal for Father's day. The atmosphere was lively as the restaurant was rather full, this did not at all deter from the prompt efficient service we received, the staff were super friendly and attentive and funny, and really interacted with us. The food was fresh and ample and totally TOTALLY delicious. A great hit and we are excited to return.

I was expecting it to be fantastic going of the other reviews but was left underwhelmed, the place is nice, clean and tidy, the staff are friendly however not brilliant at their job, the food was tasty and well presented but some was obviously bought from a wholesalers pre made (pizza/garlic bread base's for example)

Very enjoyable and a great evening. We visited daughter who lives in Royton so she booked for us all to go to The Istanbul. After a disastrous meal we had in Turkey years ago we had our doubts about this evening but were willing to give it a go on her recommendation. We started in the cocktail bar and enjoyed the cocktails. Then moved down to the restaurant. Husband and i went for the Bodrum and it was delicious. Service was spot on and the staff was very friendly. We would go again on a future visit to Royton.

Went to celebrate my leapyear birthday with my family. Went for cocktails first at Momo's, which was also brilliant - lovely place and lovely bar staff. Never had a mocktail before but would definitely recommend it - I had a Summer Love - delicious 😋 Staff at Istanblue couldn't have been better, very friendly. Atmosphere perfect - lovely atmospheric low lighting - lovely decor and the music was excellent. The food was also excellent - my family enjoyed various dishes - they loved the pepper hummus, Kofte and Tavuk Shish, I can't remember the names of all the dishes but they were all delicious 😋. I had a Margherita pizza with mushrooms which was perfect. At the end of the meal I ordered the fudge cake - we had told them it was my birthday - 29 February - so it came complete with birthday music, singing, and a dried ice spectacular 🎇..thank you Istanblue 🥰 - it made my day. Very attentive and accommodating staff...we will definitely be going back and recommending them to all our friends 🎂🎉❤️🍸

Myself and my Mum and Dad went to Istanblue for an early birthday, evening meal on Tuesday 22nd August 2023. Upon arrival there was plenty of free parking behind the restaurant and we were seated immediately and asked if we'd like a window seat. Perfect 👍 We were handed some menus and left for a bit to browse. When the waitress came to take our order she couldn't understand a word my Dad was saying and he had to repeat himself for everything he ordered. Our drinks and starters arrived in decent time and the fungi stufati (x2) (garlic mushroom), the hummus (x1) and the cheesy garlic bread we had were delicious 😋 (we ended up waiting for the garlic bread but no biggy) Moving onto the main course is where everything fell apart. I'd ordered the pollo a la crema (chicken and mushrooms in a cream sauce) and both Mum and Dad ordered a Bodrum each (slices of sirloin steak with a potato rosti style base and a spicy tomato sauce and yogurt dressing). What arrived at the table was two pollo a la cremas and one Bodrum. (In hindsight we should've just accepted that as Mum was torn between them both) however, we told them about the incorrect food and they went away with one pollo a la crema and made another Bodrum. Took a while but nonetheless Dad got his Bodrum in the end. The downside was it was incredibly salty. My pollo a la crema was really nice, however both Bodrums were a disappointment. The steak was full of fat and it was really chewy and definitely overcooked. For what we got it was totally overpriced. £138 for 3 starters, 3 mains and 4 drinks! When you go out for a birthday meal you expect it to be all nice, and not feel guilty that my parents didn't enjoy their food. Never even bothered ordering dessert (which we would've done) because my Mum and Dad had given up on the quality of the food. You lost a Christmas Do booking (approx 12 people) after this. Can't say it was busy either as you only had 4 tables in.

I visited here today with my baby, mum and sister. A rare occasion as they both work full time so a lunch in the week is rare whilst I am on maternity leave. This was completely ruined by the rude manager Carol (I was told she was called) Served by a lovely member of staff no problem until the food arrived. My mum ordered the soup and it was inedible. She said it tasted like someone had spilt the salt pot into it, not wanting to complain she tried her best to eat it managing no more than a 1/4 of the bowl. She took it back and made the staff aware it was extremely salty. The lady she approached we later found out was the manager. No refund or replacement food offered, instead she was rudely told this was her preference, no one else had complained and quite simply her problem. My mum was dismissed by this ‘manager’ I was truly shocked when my mum returned with no alternative or refund given. We called the same woman over to ask if there was an alternative or refund available, again she stated it was my mums preference and there was nothing wrong with the the soup. I said I was unhappy with this I would like a refund as it was inedible, to be then told she had ate most of it. I told her she did not to be the told ‘well she did though’ this is when we asked to speak to a manager and was informed she was the manager. The attitude of this woman was some what disgusting she was shaking her head speaking over us, absolutely no customer service skills. I would expect this maybe from a young inexperienced member of staff at a push (not really at all in HU) but instead it was from a Middle Aged woman who apparently is the manager! After a lot more bad attitude and arguing from her side she agreed to a refund. After this she proceeded to slam doors and plates and cutlery whilst carrying on with her job. Upon leaving my sister approached her again to tell make her aware her behaviour was unacceptable, and she again proceeded to talk over her and not let her speak. We usually visit the other cafe in store, but fancied a change, what a mistake we will not visit this cafe again after this horrible experience. It’s such a shame that HU has such a rude unprofessional member of staff heading up the cafe! I will be following this up with an official complaint to the company its self!
