Istanbul BBQ in Bolsover

✅Very good food, fresh salad, meat well cooked and not overcooked. ❌Do not recommend Turkish coffee. Beautiful serving, horrible taste

This beautiful cosy restaurant is just amazing The warm friendly greeting you receive from all of the staff continues throughout your stay The kitchen is open so you can see and smell your fresh food being cooked to order The decor is so beautiful you could be in Turkey The food is 10/10 tasty fresh and plentiful We ordered mixed olives as a starter and this was accompanied with bread tzatziki and a tasty potato salad and a chicken shish and a lamb shish The meats were succulent and 2 kebabs each! The rice was perfect and also fresh salad The service was excellent I really wish this was in Mansfield Can’t wait for our next visit

The best in the area. Super quality fantastic food and great service. Simply amazing amazing amazing

Great service, great food and great value! Highly recommend !

Amazing food...1st time here and will definitely be going back. There were 6 of us celebrating 2 birthdays and the bill at the end of the night was very reasonable for the delicious food we had.

Hands down one of the best meals I've ever had - Polite and superb service. Try the lamb and chicken kofte! Served with a generous portion of rice and salad, fresh lemon and some delicious homemade bread, similar to pitta but way better. Definitely be going again!! Worth every penny! 11/10

Incredibly flavourful grilled meat platter!

Lovely food, warm welcome and great value. Authentic and delicious food with generous portions.

Absolutely amazing food. The best service. We ordered the chicken and lamb shish mixed kebab and it arrived hot.10/10 for the food and the staff. Will 100% be my go to takeout restaurant

They said their meat was halal so we ended up going. Food was really good only critique is it didn't come sizzling hot. Cutlery,plates and glasses were really clean and our waitress, I think her name was Jessica, with brown blonde hair and a nose piercing, was really good. She showed great customer service. In terms of atmosphere sometimes music would play that was inappropriate and awkward to listen to if your with family. Also the fact that this is halal could have been made obvious or advertised abit more. Overall I would definitely come back again to Istanbul. Thank You

First time ordering, delicious tasty tender meat, nice salad and really good bread. Nicely presented and very filling. Highly recommend will be back

Had an absolutely banging meal here last night. The food was gorgeous and plenty of it. We will definitely become regulars

I’ve had food from here a few times now, never disappoints, always super tasty! So much flavour in every bite & very generous portions!

Food was delicious but needs more description of what we ordered online/phone from the menu. Otherwise we'll be back to figure out what the other dishes are 🤤

I'm glad I ordered from this restaurant…. and I will do it whenever I'm in the area. I can say that they have the best food, both qualitative and generous portion. I recommend with confidence🤗

My wife and I had an eat-in meal here last weekend and we were blown away with how good the food was. The meat and rice was cooked amazingly well, with the meat full of flavour and melting in your mouth. The service was great and the price is very reasonable. We will definitely be heading here again the next time we are in the area.

Our first visit here and loved it. We had a mixed chicken sharing platter with meze and bread. Lots of flavour. Service was friendly and quick.

Wow. This place is bangin’ Delicious Chicken shish kebab is to die for Mmmmmmmm

We got a takeaway and it was delicious! I would highly recommend getting the Lamb Alex Special Sarma Beyti. We'll definitely be ordering again!

First time visiting this restaurant. Would definitely go back, thd food is delicious and the staff are amazing, so friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

One of my favourite places to eat.

Excellent authentic Turkish food, the best we’ve had since Istanbul. Very friendly service, we will be here again. 👍 ..

The food here is great. All cooked on open bbq right in front of your eyes in the restaurant. I've had loads of takeaway from here before but decided to sit in this time. It's a small restaurant, maybe 20 seats , but has a lovely friendly atmosphere. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Good prices too. Great little spot for family and friends groups of up 12 I'd suggest. Can only pay my cash though.

Food wasn't very hot on delivery, they had forgotten my hummus then said they was bringing it and never turned up.

Istanbul BBQ came highly recommended so I thought I'd give it a go and wow you didn't disappoint. Food cooked to perfection and very well presented. Didn't eat in and was an early takeaway order so cannot comment on the atmosphere but it looks like a nice warm welcoming place and the staff are lovely, friendly and polite. You've a new regular now so I'll see you next week for another meal, 5*+ :o)

Top food.. Top service all freshly cooked. A real authentic Turkish gem.. Travelled from Mansfield 15 mins.. Well worth it

Delicious Turkish cuisine. Great staff and really fabulous hospitality. Will come back anytime.

amazing spot to go out for dinner with loved ones. staff was also very helpful and welcoming!! 100% recommend this place doesn’t get enough recognition.

Absolutely fantastic food and service last night for our daughter’s birthday. Nine of us ordered, everyone loved their meal, hot and delicious. Highly recommend!

The food was really nice and the service was very efficient. Everybody was so lovely and made us feel welcome . Would definitely visit again

We did delivery and the food arrived fast we had friendly service , good portion sizes and got given extras because it was my sisters birthday 10/10

Visited the first time tonight for my birthday, it had been recommended by a few friends. It didn't disappoint, the food was very good as was the service. Very friendly, polite staff. We will definitely go again. Picked up a few menus to give to friends & family , you can either dine in or takeaway!

Absolutely superb food, great service. Thanks so much

Amazing quality,flavoursome and fresh! Service is impeccable! Faultless!

Fabulous food great service, staff lovely Eat in or takeaway both great

Just dined in here, amazing food and very friendly attentive staff. I would highly recommend going if you are looking for a traditional Turkish dining experience.

Visited this restaurant for a birthday meal and the food was delicious and served with a smile. Really fresh, large portion sizes and grilled meats to perfection. We will be back.

I thought the food was very good and the waitress was very professional, however, what spoilt our experience was not long after we were seated, we felt rushed throughout our food. There was 30 seconds between finishing our starters and being brought our mains. Which, to be honest, spoilt the experience of the restaurant. 😫

We had such a great time! Food was excellent and we were well looked after 😊

Great staff amazing food thanks 👍

Favourite place to eat around Alfreton. High quality food, always cooked to perfection and staff are friendly and welcoming. Recommend!

Wow, that was the nicest takeaway we’ve ever had! Picked the yogurtlu kebab and it was absolutely amazing. The salad and everything was spot on 👍 Would definitely recommend.

Excellent authentic Turkish food, the best since our visit to Istanbul. Cold starters recommend. Very clean restaurant and great service.

Needing to break a long drive, we stopped here and had a surprisingly good evening meal. The restaurant itself is simple, but clean and someone has put a great deal of care into the decorations. The waitress was friendly and helpful, and brought us a big jug of iced water. We ordered a selection of starters with warm bread and kebab mains - all of it came quickly, in large portions, and was delicious. There were very few people - despite its modest kerbside appearance, this restaurant deserves to be busier.

مطعم جميل واكل لذيذ. المشكلة الوحيدة ان الدفع كاش فقط💔.

Excellent food and excellent service. Child friendly and healthy tasty food!

Noticed this place a few times after driving past during the day. So I decided to take the family as a surprise. Lovely clean restaurant and surroundings. We decided to have the mixed platter for 4. Wow what an absolute meat fest. Really tasty and and with the cold meze starters a delicious Turkish meal experience. We’ll definitely be going again.

Overpriced. Had a mixed kebab for £19.50 at 3pm. A can of Efes beer for £4. £23.50 for a smallish plate of food and a drink is way overpriced. The lamb was also tough. Definitely overpriced for the area. I don’t think they’ll last long unless they reduce their prices. This was a £12 plate of food at best. Feel bad I can’t give a better review.

While having a weekend away in Notts/Derby, we decided to try the local Turkish cuisine. It was 7.30pm on a Saturday evening but the restaurant was quiet. This was probably due to the previous week being a bank holiday & on this particular evening everybody stayed in to watch the Eurovision Song Contest from Liverpool. Anyway, we had a lovely meal, the staff were attentive & the manager spent 15 minutes with us telling us about his upbringing in the Turkish mountains. We were offered a complimentary Raki at the end of the meal. Very well cooked meat dishes served with rice & salad.

Our favourite take away in the village, always receive beautiful food and great service.

Birthday meal, service and food was lovely. Lexi went out of the way to help and serve. Will definitely visit again.

Terrible, we were posted a recent menu through our door, we ordered from it menu total £30, actual price £43, apparently due to rising food costs. Despite having brilliant service before this and stunning food, but sorry you have lost a customer. My wife cancelled the order but the money was still taken from her account. Robbing thieves, beware.

Everything we ate was delicious. We ate the most delicious kebab we had in England here.

Excellent restaurant and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend!

Our monthly visit, once again amazing food & service 5☆☆☆☆☆

10/10 food and service! We've sat in the restaurant a few times but mainly order for delivery. The food is always amazing, chicken beyti is my personal favourite! Feels like a healthier option to a takeaway and always arrives hot and just as tasty in the restaurant.

Excellent service very fresh food and very friendly atmosphere highly recommend 👍👍

I was only having takeaway, so can't say much about atmosphere bu the food is great. I've heard plenty negative opinions about the place but just can't agree on that. It is good food, maybe slightly overpriced as wrap for example is very small so I need two and I'm not a big lad. One wrap £8 so but it is a quality 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Mīļa, draudzīga atmosfēra, jauks Turku restorāniņs. Ļoti garšīgi. Viss patika. Iesaku jebkuram iegriezties un nobaudīt visu, ko piedāvā

Food was amazing 👏 Staff were amazing. Definitely recommend it

Great place to eat, Value for money and great staff

Beautiful place to go to have a dinner

Just collected an order asked for 3 chicken kebabs got home the order was completely wrong rang and told them and was told nothing they could do . Very poor won’t ever use again

Questioned why there was an 80p charge for ordering online and I was told I dunno ! Asked to speak to someone who does know and in the background someone said it's not us ? I asked if I order over the phone would I have this charge and I was told NO ! Then they sent a link to pay which included the charge. It's not about 80p it's the principal and the fact the person on the phone was so downright rude treating me like I was some sort of idiot for asking. Nice to be in a position where your food is nice so you can treat people like lower species.

Great food with freshness that is first rate. Reliably good food.

The food is amazing great value and the staff are really nice.

Order 50 worth of food waited 2hrs for it to come my partner went down to see where it was sed was on its way. He got back before the food. Then it came all wrong kitty a £20 meal. Rang them back and add the cheek to say ear it and get discount next time. After paying £50 bar. And thing is I would of order if them all time as food is nice. What a Shane but never Agen.

We were staying at the Holiday Inn for 1 night & as we both love Turkish food we booked a table. We ordered the the platter for 2 & at £27 we didn't expect much but we were both blown away at how good it was. We are used to paying £40+ for similar dishes at other Turkish restaurants around Bristol & South Wales & this place delivers on taste and quality with any of them. The locals around the area are so lucky to have an establishment like this close by, unfortunately we live 140 miles away but if we are ever within 20 miles we will definitely be back. Absolutely amazing value for money.

Wszystko było bardzo dobre, ceny ok obsługa super polecam.

a group of 6 went here from work and we had a great time. The restaurant is small, more like a cafe. The food was fabulous. He modified the set meals to suitor groupof six. Lots of tasty extras. Loved the bread and dips. I highly recommend this place. We took our own wine. Great value, fun evening. attentive friendly staff. nothing too much trouble.

Awful unhelpful customer service/phone operator or receptionist… the owner of this restaurant should try to check how this people answered phone!order for delivery and they are so unhelpful at all!!

Wow amazing food great quality . Rice just outstanding . Great value for money . We loved it thank you

First visit to this fantastic restaurant this evening. We had the meal platter for 2, there was more than enough and it was absolutely delicious! The service was spot on also, and the staff were extremely friendly and polite, especially the young girl that served us. Brilliant establishment and great value for money, will definitely visit again.

Everything is delicious, the service is adorable and they really can cook! Amazing food, loved to sit in or take away. Do try the wine!

Travelling from Singapore, Excellent food, well recommended

So good! Bursting with authentic flavor, lovely staff, and super well located if you're on a long trip up/down the M1!

Amazing food and atmosphere, went as a family of 5, two small children very accommodating and friendly helpful staff, great food great price...will be back!!

Enjoyed a very tasty chicken wrap. On my way home I spotted this place and as it had parking outside It seemed convenient. Was met with pleasant staff that smiled and had good Manners. I chose a chicken shish wrap, 5 minutes later it was ready and I went home to eat it (worth noting it does have a restaurant area). The chicken had been bbq'd and was delicious and succulent and it came with chips (not fried). The only quabble I had was that the chips was served in a tray that melted! But this did not change the taste. Summary.... Worth a visit

Very nice people and food was top 👌 quality

Fantastic food, even better service

Really great food, one of my favourite takeaways in the area!

Food was tasty and well priced but the restaurant was freezing with the door constantly open or incredibly smoky with it shut. My eyes stung and my hair and clothes stank by the time we finished. If they could sort out the ventilation I’d definitely go back.

Excellent food at a fantastic price. Service good, not rushed at all. Definitely go again.

Great service , brilliant food.. reasonable price..Will definitely be visiting again soon.

I am just stunned by the quality of the food, meat, sauces, portions and value! It’s the fourth time I have ordered from Istanbul BBQ and the meat is just the best I have ever eaten! Honestly, if you are looking for some place with really really good food that’s the one. You won’t be disappointed- ever!

Really great food and friendly staff only happy to help with your choices. You can also bring your own beers and wines. Booking recommended but sometimes not essential.

Amazing food. Home cooked. Authentic. Fresh and worth the money.

Amazing place....lady on the phone got us a table ready straight away when we phoned asking if theres any tables. We was greeted by all workers. Absolutely delicious food. So filling and full of flavours. Portions are good.

Our greatest friends said how good it was so we made the trip up from Cambridge - wow we wasnt disappointed- the service was fab - the food lovely and fresh and so well cooked by the excellent staff - All the tastes took us straight back to Turkey and got to say the best turkish food ive ever had outside of Turkey.

DON'T GO THERE.... I WENT THERE TONIGHT WITH MY LADY AND ONE OF THE GUYS WORKING BEHIND THE COUNTER WEARING A BLUE SHIRT MADE HER SO UNCOMFORTABLE BY WINKING AT HER...HE COULD NOT TAKE HIS DIRTY EYES OF HER..I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN..I WILL TELL MY FRIENDS TO AVOID IT...SHE TOLD ME WHEN WE GOT HOME....NOT A BAD END FOR US, THANKS TO HER WISDOM...I TOOK THE GIRL HOME ....HE TAKES THE BAD REVIEW NOW.....VICTORY IS MINE....HAHA

If before I found this as "Really good food, friendly staff 100% recommended" in the last few months things got changed, I'm assuming the ownership was changed as I have seen different people cooking and running the business, first things first they increase prices with 10 to 30% so significant and tbh I received a downsize portions for ie. the potatoes salad, humus smaller I got a portion of ribs that there is more bones than meat also for ribs and Chicken youghourtlu you get at least 4 pcs of naan bread, I got only 2, definitely we will looking for something else next time. :(

Taste is good but price is pretty high.

Been here many time, the food is lovely and very fresh, friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Lovely food ,will be calling in for a meal very soon

What a lovely night out. The staff at the Istanbul BBQ were great. We were a party of four, had a sharing starter and a main course each. Super delicious and Super value for money and super tasty. You can bring your own booze if you wish or buy some at the restaurant. Thanks everyone for a lovely night out.

Brilliant food, delicious vegetarian options, great value!

I love the food especially chicken yoghurt, I've been eating here for a year and never been disappointed buuuuttt I have a problem with those girls who sell on the bar, they have long hair and is not tied up, sometimes when I see those girls with that hair I just pass to eat in other days, is disgusting to serve people with that long hair! I can't say anything about the food... the food is extremely delicious

Consistently good. The quality of the food and service is always excellent. We use regularly and will continue to do so. I'd recommend the set meal for 2 or 4. You get to try a mixture of the goodies they offer then :)

What a wonderful little find. Only away for 4 days and we've been twice. Great service great food will definitely go again.
