Istanblue in Cheshire East

I recently visited Istanbule cafe and was thoroughly impressed. The food was amazing, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home. The environment was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal or a casual hangout. Highly recommend!

Really really lovely food and service and reasonably priced x

Good old fashioned greasy spoon

We've ordered from here many times over the past few years. Because it is a small business in Handforth we do try to support them where we can. Also their food is nice.

The food was nice, and they served Halal chicken for those looking for halal food. The portion was good size, and the price was not on too costly.

Lovely little independent business! Currently enjoying a nice solo lunch here. Nice vibes, kind servers, good coffee. Also the bread for my fish finger butty is so fresh. Very delicious meal will definitely be coming back.

Nice food, and amazing customer service! Highly recommended 👍🏻

Lovely friendly staff, nice food and good value for money.

First time visiting and definitely coming back. The staff were friendly, welcoming and super efficient and professional. The food is absolutely amazing and portions are generous. Good variety of different choices for food and drinks. Will be coming back for sure 👌👌🙏🙏

Be going here for four years always great food

I always order from them and they’ve got nice food but today when I’ve received my order it was hair in my food I asked for the replacement but they said their kitchen is close but site was open and still taking order!! I am so disappointed this time!!

Ordered on Deliveroo and came within 15 mins. Fresh food! And a lovely coffee. Thank you x

The best breakfast for moles around. I removed black pudding and beans and added extra bacon instead.

Ordered a takeout from this cafe. I ordered a scrambled egg and salmon bagel, and I received a bacon and scrambled egg bagel. I called the cafe to inform them of this. Their reply was, as it was so early in the morning, they did not have any salmon prepared, and the chef substituted it with bacon. I had no call to tell me this. They assumed I liked bacon. They then said that they would do a fresh order for me, this time with salmon. When the food arrived, it was ok. As I got to the end of my meal, I nearly swallowed, what appeared to be a piece of plastic. The meals are overpriced for the cheap ingredients they use. My partner also ordered the Cajun chicken, and the portion size was ridiculous, hardly any chips. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

That’s a very nice cafe with friendly staff and manager and a lot of delicious food and drinks.

Always liked this little cafe in handforth, food is always cooked to order, and very nice, servers are warm and friendly.

Food and service is excellent and service with a smile and the place is always clean

Great freshly made breakfast. Lovely staff. Quite cosy

Was around the area, not local to my regular Turkish Cafe - Mediterranean in Whaley Range and thought I’d give this place a go. So disappointing, completely lacks authenticity. Witnessed my hummus being taken from a fresh tub of supermarket hummus. Along with my pesto from the jar. All these things are ok, as long as the price reflects and there’s a little bit of love going into the preparation which there was a complete lack of. A member of staff came in from outside and immediately began preparing food, which turned my stomach. I wasn’t asked if I wanted salt on chips or any sauce. - those little added extras go a long way when it comes to hospitality. My local cafes are much better, I think it’s time this cafe did some market research and rethought their approach to the Turkish cuisine that they offering. Won’t be returning.

Lovely food amazing service Helen and tony

Poor quality sausages and products used plus over cooked, iv give them 3 changes (more fool me) and every time it has been disappointing! don't waste your money! (Especially being as exspencive!!! as they are )I certain won't be again!! If I could give zero stars I would

It's not good, unless you like cheap everything. bakebeans that are even further watered down then they were until there like soup . coffee that tastes bad , and getting the wrong change.

Returned after, oh at least 4 years, food and service excellent as always. Only downside was place needs a lick of paint and floor needed a clean, but I could of just gone in after a busy period

It's okay, it's tired and needs decorating, kitchen is very clean but the restaurant area , walls , floors kirting boards etc looks not in their best when sat inside Staff very pleasant and my food was nice

Just had lovely salads friendly staff recommend 👌

Amazing place and amazing value. I go here every weekend for their Big Club sandwich and it is very tasty. Vegetarian friendly with several different type of teas, coffee and shakes. Deffo worth a try..

Not sure what it is like, I only passed through it.

5 stars for convenience from the airport..Good coffee and tea selection.

Ordered online food came cold. Asked for sausage on toast more like soggy bread. Also got 2 sausage and cheese barm sausage was over cooked and not enough cheese.

Breakfasted here with family last weekend, good food and good value, will be sure to return when next in area

Pleasant local cafe, good breakfast.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, tasty sandwiches ,I recommend it to all food lovers but I think they don't want new costumers because they have no sign 😂 , I recommend here to my friend but he couldn't find it.

Really nice cafe. I had a good bacon & Brie baguette. Coffee always good. Good service. Not to expensive.

Poor customer service. Lack of knowledge of basic cafe running. Entered the cafe at approx 11.30, a young girl and older woman taking orders, ordered egg and bacon on toast with a coffee to take out. Waited for a while for it to come out (there was nobody else in). Then I was handed my order but no coffee, I questioned the where the coffee is and they looked at me like I was stupid but then checked the order and made the coffee. I took it home and realised it was just egg on bread. No bacon and not on toast. Tried to call, no answer and no email to contact hence this review. Disappointed won’t be returning as always mistakes every time, this is the last straw.

Friendly staff and a nice breakfast. Yummy.

Really tasty and arrived hot and fresh. Delivery driver was really helpful and friendly. Thanks very much

Always fresh food and fabulous service 👌🏻

Food was very good I ordered a big breakfast the taste was great . My server was lovely and very efficient for being new well done sorry don't know your name but would highly recommend .

Nice tasty food, no frills, just nice and tasty I ordered full vegetarian breakfast, Friendly atmosphere, good service

This is the first time we have been in here to eat the food was amazing . Our young waitress was so nice I think her name was Lou will recommend to family and friends and will be back very soon .

Each time going in they have put milk in my coffee and then try saying I asked for it and I am Lactose intolerance

Been here a few times chicken baguette very nice chicken pasta very very bland. Unfortunately 1 staff member was dishonest as ordered a extra portion of chips but tried to get around it by saying they have put them within meal, which I challenged her about and shown her the portion which she didn't want me to look at. She then conceded and asked chef to cook another portion which was half the size I got a day or 2 ago. Very disappointed as the meals here aren't cheap and to blatantly lie looking me in the eyes over a £2 portion of chips is shocking very dishonest and will not be going back, and also found hair in meal just as I finished!!

Amazing place lovely friendly staff

I always have breakfast and never let down and the steak baguette is beautiful love there food always hot on delivery

By far the best breakfast barm around! We first tried Istanblue during lockdown & were not disappointed. It’s now a firm favourite & a regular weekend treat. Always beautifully presented & cooked to perfection 😊🤩🍟🥓🥩🥗🍪☕️

Lovely staffs, delicious food , great customer service 😍 highly recommended.

Really lovely food, on time and polite service. I actually ordered on Just Eat. When the lady came to the door even though a person I support was alittle rude to her she was so nice and understanding. I look after people with learning difficulties and she reacted really well. Thankyou for the lovely brunch

My son had the mega breakfast and it arrived piping hot. I ordered the tuna melt and was just expecting a sandwich but it came with chips and a salad. The food tasted very fresh. I will definitely be ordering from here again. Great value for money and really friendly service.

Thankyou very much 🏆 delicious hot breakfasts. Food delivered promptly. We went slightly of menu and everything was perfect. We can not wait till you can re open for a sit down meal. Keep safe

The best breakfast i ever had.Thank u

Great food, service and friendly staff. Great value and overal nice experience. Table outside and inside with free wifi

Clean, friendly and efficient service. Covid rules followed closely also.

Been and picked up take away full English I can honestly say was the worst breakfast I have ever had cheap cheap produce and really badly cooked avoid !!!

Great grub at a great price. Comes highly recommended

Great breakfast,wonderful service. I'll be back soon. Great value for money.

Great selection of meals to pick from a fry up too a healthy salads

Great place with crackin full breakfast on menu, very pleasant helpful staff.

Lovely breakfast as always, in a clean and friendly environment!

Food is good and the prices are reasonable

Went for English breakfast. Place was empty at 9am. Food was just warm, warm beans, cold tomato, weird looking sausage, cold mushrooms. Didn’t eat it, wasn’t asked why. In fact nobody asked if all ok, we were ignored. Place was dirty, chairs need a clean, filthy wi fi lead on table.No wonder it was empty, we won’t be back .

Good basic food fast and reasonably priced. Friendly service too.

Used to go regularly, not been for a while, what happened in the meantime? Lunchtime used to be busy, today was literally empty. We sat down and literally within seconds was asked what we wanted, perhaps we could look at the menu first? The two young girls at the counter had little idea, no you don't make a cappuccino like that, a normal coffee with a couple of spoons of semi frothy milk put on top. No one else came in the whole time we were there at 1pm. Unfortunately it seems word has got round that it has gone downhill. Such a shame, would much prefer to support a local business than costa, but we'll not be returning. Ps needing to use a calculator to work out the change from a tenner for £7.80 is worrying.

Worst breakfast i have ever had, the bin enjoyed it though :D

Lovely staff and great quality food. Large portions

Was ok bit over priced and didn't listen to my order

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast here recently. Service was quick and staff were very friendly and helpful.

Welcoming owners, tasty food but unfortunately had a long wait although it wasn't busy. I would go again though!

Friendly staff.. but been in here a few times and had hair in food 4 times.. really not good.. over priced cans of drink.. food is average.. but hairs in food has become a joke so don’t eat here any more.. should be wearing hair and beard nets but seem not to care that hairs get in all the meals.. think it only has good reviews as it’s the only cafe in handforth paddock..

Lovely food big portions friendly staff

G Totally over priced, for what you get, never go there again

Very friendly and cozy diner. Food was tasty, service with a smile.

Good hot food nice pouched eggs best meal in the area

Had a delicious full English breakfast at lunch. Excellent value and very tasty. Highly recommend it.

Amazing. Not greasy, fresh. Friendly staff. Not overpriced ^^

Enjoyed breakfast here. Good food, good service, friendly people. Lovely coffee varied menu including options for children

Took my Dad who is up from the south coast for Christmas for breakfast. Very busy but food was outstanding full breakfast and toasted sandwiches. Would recommend and will be back for another breaky.

Fantastic food and service well worth a visit. We had big breakfast which was wonderful. Quick service and a clean busy cafe. To top it off its great value for money

Came here for a full English breakfast. It was very nice just enough on the plate. I will definitely be back for more! Staff are lovely thank you

Went for a light lunch with my 92 year Mum...ordered a BLT+chips (to share) and a large coffee and a glass of tap water... waited almost 30 mins - the bacon was so hard/overcooked in the sandwich my Mum couldn't eat it - even I had a problem with my younger nashers!! (think it had sat there a while, and was overcooked!! and toast was even somewhat 'crispy'), then overcharged by 30p (did they charge for tap water??). The waitress was lovely...but unfortunately let down by the kitchen...not sure I will try again. A pity...is very local to me and seems popular.

I often pass by this cafe whilst driving to work or on my way back home, and its always busy, so I said this morning, its time to try it out Well, I did this Saturday and happy to report it was a GOOD experience and I'm pleased with the service and quality , the portion was generous and tasted good I would recommend this cafe and I'm sure you will enjoy it I sat outside and the nice weather helped

Bit run down but excellent coffee

Good food, good host, great beard

Had a fabulous breakfast with my family when staying overnight in Handforth after finding good reviews on the web. Staff were very friendly and food was delicious!

Love this place, food is gorgeous and they do the best breakfast ever.

My Favourite cafe for miles it's ran by lovley people and the food is perfect every time 😊

Friendly staff but unfortunately the plate my food was served on was marked and looked dirty

Lovely food, very friendly staff & always very polite.Good menu selection.

I come here quite regularly.The food is always cooked well and piping hot.The prices are affordable and staff always friendly.There is a varied selection of items on the menu.I can recommend it.Doesn't look much decor wise but don't let this deter you.

What a find!! If you want a 5* breakfast go for the scrambled egg and bacon bagel - perfectly cooked, very reasonably priced and polite and friendly service. This is the second year we've been for a breakfast after a festival and there were 2 tables of 8 and 9 hungry ladies - no panic, no hassle and nothing was too much trouble. People who put on bad reviews need to give it another visit... (and also have spelling lessons!)You won't be disappointed!

Not been for sometime but was not disappointed for great breakfast and still the best hot chocolate in the area. Friendly service in this busy cafe. Will be back.

Very tasty English breakfast. Also enjoyed a very nice Turkish coffee. Would have tried the Turkish breakfast but they were out of the Turkish sausage.

Friendly bunch. Food always top notch.

Great for all & food is reasonably priced

Took my hungry son for a spot of lunch, food was honest, tasty, fresh & homemade. Portions weren't teeny weeny, decent sized cup of tea too, & really reasonably priced. Staff couldn't have been any nicer.

Great breakfast, great service, great value, spotlessly clean

Friendly service this morning. V reasonably priced. Only problem was it was freezing in there. Happy staff and very clean ... was filling up with Prams as we left.

Just did not fined it nice every think was under wellming and the water was did not no wot was on the menu and I ask about the drinks and he had no I dear about them at all

Not only the best English breakfast. If you ask really nicely a bonza Turkish breakfast and Turkish coffee to boot.

Regular steak baguette connoisseur. The go-to place.
