Fresh meat and very friendly employees

Excellent food, always fresh and tasty. Great service and clean, well run restaurant. The salads are always fresh and the chilli sauce is delicious.

Lovely staff and delicious food. Pricey but worth it.

This is the best take out spot in Henley, hands down, the guys offer a warm welcome with even better food at the best value, 10 outta 10.

Best kebab shop in Oxfordshire!

Absolutely awful. There was a ridiculous amount of liquid in the kabab. The pitta was rock hard and chicken was pink. Used to be the best kabab about.

Very kind and friendly guys. Shop looks so clean definitely deserves five star rate and loved food it was so delicious 😋😋

Excellent food, nice folks & great service.

Delicious chicken kebab at the end of a great night. Highly recommended!

Excellent kebabs, very tasty salads and a really clean and up market shop, plus they deliver to Peppard!

Very tasty food, my favourite is the chicken shish wrap, great authentic Turkish side options and fresh salad. Never had a late, missing or incorrect delivery! The best and only kebab in Henley!

Friendly and meticulous staff. The most delicious kebab you can find in this region.

Lovely staff, delicious food 👌🏻👌🏻

Their Kebabs are very delicious.

Great place, super delicious foods, super hygienic and friendly team.. 👌You are quite lucky if you find the place not crowded.. I just wanted to have a kebap last night around 00:30 and just went to there.. It was one of the best kebap that ate..👌 Even at that time, it was crowded.. 🙂 And it proved me that why Istanbul BBQ is great.. Looking forward to seeing your best kebap awards in UK soon.. 🙏 Keep going same guys...

I ordered chicken sish kebab and it came on good time. Kebab was delicious, they served it with rice, salads and souces. Thank you Hasan and the chiefs.

After a long day in London we came back to Henley on Thames, where we were staying, to have dinner at around 9:30pm. To our surprise, the entire town had stopped serving food. We checked everywhere from the Angel to The Bird in Hand. All were closed except for this gem. The service here was fast and courteous. The food was outstanding! A must visit.

Best kebab around here. I’m a regular customer and Iv never ever had anything negative to say about the Istanbul kebab shop

As a resident of Henley we are limited to what we can get delivered so ordered a large kebab and large chips for my partners dinner after waiting an hour and a half we phoned to say it will be 10 mins but clearly hadn’t even started it. Another half an hour later it arrived and was not up to standard paid £18 for what looked like a kids kebab so drove it back to the shop to get a refund and show that it wasn’t a large and even the customers in the shop agreed. Not very apologetic got a refund and went next door. Won’t be returning in a rush

Great as always, nice food and polite service

Istanbul used to be the best kebab about but unfortunately they renovated and upped the prices of the food to pay for it l. £10+ is ridiculous for the quality of donner you serve. Also dont think your sly giving out tiny squirts of sauce and making people pay extra for more. I now travel outside of henley to get a kebab because its an absolute joke, do better, be better, JOKESTANBUL KEBAB

Delicious food, full of flavors, fantastic service, clean and pleasant atmosphere, I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic and delicious food 10/10 👍👍👍👍

The taste is perfect, the service is perfect, the cleanliness is great. Thank you very much for such a service. The taste is perfect, the service is perfect, the cleanliness is great. Thank you very much for such a service.

Understanding it's a kebab house and tailoring expectations accordingly, this place is great. With delicious wraps available during the day you don't need to pair the food with several pints of beer.

Food excellent Guy very nice and friendly

Good place with really good food and drinks and lots of things to eat.

Loved their food. It was fresh and tasty. The most friendliest service.

Not the cheapest, but worth the money. Food is fresh and tasty.

Good food reasonably priced. Parking nearby is difficult

The food and service were perfect. I was also impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant and the kindness of the staff. I would like to eat again when i am in Henley.

Food was incredible definitely recommended

Absouletly delisiccious foods. Wonderfull services. Very positive workers and owner who has smiling face which we need alot nowadays. Thank you very much again.

If you want to eat delicious food, this is the right place.

Lovely take away, reasonable prices and top quality food. Quick service, salad with kebabs was nice and fresh.

Delicious food and excellent service

Asked for an £8 donner and was asked for £9. Was £5 before refurbishment. Yet again, charged £9 for an £8 Donner + on the toilet a lot the next day. No choice in salad like before refurbishment. They need competition. Decayed since refurbishment. Ridiculous prices and worse service. Only go if your desperate.

We had one chicken shish and one lamb shish and both were really tasty. The menu is a bit long and could be a bit easier to decipher and the price of soft drinks (£1.60 for a can) seems quite a steep. but the food made up for this.

Food was unusually quick for a bbq. Chicken was like jelly, ordered a mixed kebab and my stomach felt that way after, couldn't even eat it. Had to walk out.b

Where can you go to grab a bite near midnight in Henley? Istanbul BBQ! Having just landed at Heathrow we didn't think we'd find anything open late on a Sunday, but Istanbul BBQ pulled through. Some chicken kebabs and falafel wraps really hit the spot. Friendly service too!

Love this place! Food is great! Lovely atmosphere and service. I’ll definitely go back!

Chicken doner was excellent, the lamb was the usual fare, prefer it a little more browned but will ask for it next time. Good salad, bread and sauces, fast delivery. Deffo ordering again!

Great quality, super consistent, friendly efficient service. They have a really nice menu selection, Kebabs etc. done as they should be!

Overpriced and stingy with the portion size £11 for a doner. There Robbing people. Go to the van in the car park.

Very good service and prices reasonable with big portion more than bargined for to be honest highly recommend if you happen to be visiting Henley On Thames.

Great food. I hope they give bigger portions 😉

Top quality kebab shop, brilliant. Loses a star for value, though in Henley what do you expect.

First table all very good customer service, friendly, good environment the most importantly, the food was delicious. 10 out of 10. 👍🏼

It was the most delicious kebab and burger I've ever eaten. It was even better than the kebab shops in Istanbul. I'll come again.

Tasty food and only halal place in Henley.

Superb food and generous portions. Top marks.

Been coming here every day while the Henley Festival is on for the last 5 years. They are such amazing people and the food is great.

The mixed kebab is food for two

Delivered to the house in 15 mins. Great food, thanks.

Have a wonderful experience at Instanbul BBQ! I ordered the Doner meat with chips. Unlike the last lady on these reviews who ordered a "Diner" meat wrap who clearly didn't know what she was eating, I must say that I had a wonderful meal and well done to everyone involved! 😁👍

I had a lovely lamb diner wrap from this wonderful establishment and I was very sad when I had eaten it all because it was very tasty and I wanted more because I am a pig. Next time, I will eat the menu. My friend Grant is also so excited about his meal and would like to leave a review. He is expecting a clean departure tomorrow morning which is a sign of a good healthy meal. Most appreciated

£11 for the smallest large Donna ever? My cat would be hungry after that ? Ditch the fancy wrap and put some food in the box?

I love a good doner kebab, they are however getting harder to find, often dripping with grease, cold, limp and old salad, contents not put into pitta. Istanbul BBQ came up trumps, a clean and tidy shop, polite staff, fast service and excellent food, the best kebab I have had in years, highly recommended.

For a takeaway fabulous kofta this is very very hard to beat. 🤩

After being at a wedding in Henley felt hungry at the end of the evening popped into Istanbul to get a large mixed kabab. What can I say it was fresh tasted fantastic and the slices of sweet pickle took the kabab to another level. He even gave me a taster whilst my food was being prepaird

Always great good, chicken was outstanding. Love the professional way everything is presented.

Fresh, delicious and wonderful service thanks guys

Everything is freshly prepared and tastes amazing you cant just eat kebap from anywhere istanbul bbq has amazing food.

Great tasty food. I feel like I am in Turkey at a kebab house when I enter this well designed restaurant. Thank you very much for your outstanding service

Great place with delicious food befitting the town of Henley. I would definitely recommend.

Often wondered who that was driving the Rolls Royce around Henley. Just found out it’s the owner of this restaurant lol. Most I’ve ever spent on a kebab which comes weirdly in a microwave packet. Fair play, but won’t be buying again.

Looks a very decent menu, and all the food looked great - had chicken doner and chips was very nice. It needed to be at that price!

It's ironic that they have done the place up but their food has got worse and service plus they have MASSIVELY increased in fact its doubled in price and half the quality and service!! They also got the order wrong no salad which i asked clearly for. I'm not happy. I won't be returning!! Follow up to your response - no I was not given a menu I ordered in your shop at your counter as I always have done then you told me how much it was I nearly passed out in shock!! £30 odd for 2 regular Lamb donners, one portion of cheesy chips and 2 drinks - dam right I will go elsewhere next time. Don't expect me to come back to this. No where in the area is this expensive!!!!! Appalling service rude arrogant staff!!! 😫

Best ever taste and very good hygiene

First time customer, ordering online was easy we chose to collect. Food was ready within 10 minutes and was excellent! Will be using again. Definitely, Thank you

Authentic turkish/ middle east cuisine. Served by good,polite staff with excellent customer service.

Very good BBQ kebabs and friendly service

Excellent Shish and doner Kebabs Loads of salad with Chips Highly recommend

Amazing, fresh food. Very big portions. Best kebab in town!

The Istanbul BBQ Henley like my house .There is very delicious food ,very friendly team , Thank you very much , Good luck Guys,

The lamb kofta kebab was well seasoned and cooked to perfection, it went down a treat . Nice crispy chips as a side dish. Friendly staff. Clean. A lot of options on the menu.

Selling pre-made donor wraps on the regatta weekend - filthy 🤢🤮

Amazing food ,very friendly team. Thank you very much guys

I have been many time this shop.amazing barbeque and very tasty and after refurb looks great

Since the refurb they have obliterated their menu, lowered the quality of their food and increased the prices, more than doubling the cost of what we used to pay. I am appalled by their greedy behaviour and echo many other recent reviews in relation to their price hikes, poor product quality and ‘new’ reduced portions. We have used Istanbul Kebab for 10+ years, enjoying the variety on offer and would spend £16-£20 each time on amazing food that would feed two people comfortably. When we first opened the App after their refurb my family thought the prices were incorrect or had glitches but no, they’re really that high; we couldn’t believe it. Thankfully Henley has Herbies Pizza which charges (at the time of this review) 6.49GBP for a 1/2lb Cheese Burger inc chips and a drink, whereas for the same order Istanbul Kebab now charge 11.10GBP…..it’s disgraceful. May I add that Herbies know how to cook a good burger, offer decent portions and have lovely customer service. While I understand the common perception that Henley-on-Thames is full of wealth, charging anyone 9GBP for a regular Lamb Doner that used to cost 6GBP and was actually filling is ridiculous. Understandably they’ve lost the custom of both myself and my family.

I've had a few meals since Istanbul bbq Henley reopened. Tonight bbq Chicken shish, rice and salad. It was really really good. So much nicer having the rice option instead of bread. I've had a falafel wrap and various Messe dishes The tzatziki is amazing and garlic mayo is the best all homemade! The menu is so much better since they refurbished. More choice and healthier options.

One of the best meals if had. Great food. New, fresh and love the new menu. Thank you it all looks amazing.

Excellent late night donner kebab.

Been there for years . Attentive staff and nice fast food.
