Istanbul Grill in Warrington - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Been there last saturday for my friends birthday party, had a great experience with the staff and the atmosphere of the restuarant. With such a large party the staff did a great job with bringing out the meals at the same time. By the way the free flaming sambuca was a great touch for birthday girl

Appalling! We visited this restaurant a few weeks back and the lamb shank was delicious so we decided to do the 30 min drive back last night. My husband ordered the chicken and lamb dish and i went for the lighter option of maze for one. My salad was brown and the chicken was dry and the sauce tasted powdery. The manager responded with ‘well it shouldn’t have come with salad anyway so what’s wrong with the rest of it’ honestly I couldn’t believe his response! He stood staring at me and I had to ask him to take the dishes away. As we finished our drinks he was evidently talking about us with the waitress and smirking over at me, I’ve never felt so uncomfortable. I asked for the bill and abruptly he said ‘pay on your way out’ clearly was not wanting to bring my bill over, appalling behaviour. On our way out I shared how rude he was and he said ‘I tasted your chicken and it was fine’ I explained that was his opinion but he should never disrespect a customer the way he did, he should never treat anyone is such an appalling way. I would suggest he attends a training course to equip him with the adequate skills to be more welcoming and considerate. Only 2 other people in the whole restaurant at 5pm, I should have read this as a sign!!! In hindsight I should have refused to pay for our drinks after the way he treated us! I never leave reviews but this was the worst restaurant experience I have ever had.

The Istanbul Grill in Culcheth has become one of our favourite dining out venues - whether it's a family occasion or just my wife and myself for a quiet evening meal. The staff are very friendly, the service is attentive, the ambient atmosphere is just right and most importantly, the food is top drawer with both Turkish and Italian options to choose from.

over 40 minutes waiting time for 4 meals. kids behind me almost wacked me on the head with a tray!!! very loud, although the food was very nice and drinks were lovely.

Our party if four would fully recommend this restaurant. Wide choice of dishes, friendly staff and efficient service. Nothing was too much trouble and got a sense that they wanted you to enjoy the experience. Starters and mains all to be recommended especially the sharing meze and the lamb casserole. Everything well presented and hot. Would definitely revisit.

I booked a meal here again despite the recent reviews. Still fantastic food and great service, we will definitely return.

This is a lovely restaurant with a huge selection which would suit any palate. My husband and I called in after a day of Christmas shopping and were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. We got to choose if we wanted to sit inside or in the heated conservatory area which again was nice touch. My husband has a gluten intolerance and in the past we have struggled to find a menu that suited his needs and desire for a tasty dining experience but here his options were plentiful. Portion sizes were a lot bigger than expected which added to the overall feeling of value for money. We will defiantly be returning and bringing friends or family with us next time

We dined at the ‘Istanbul Grill’ restaurant. Absolutely spotless, a very polite waiter with great service….. with a smile. The culinary delights were definitely one of the best restaurants we’ve eaten at, 100% at the top end of the leaderboard! Starters….. We had the ‘Meze sharing Platter’ for 2, A selection of hummus, tzatziki, Turkish salsa, stuffed vine leaves, crispy jalapeño peppers with spicy cream cheese, falafel, chicken wings, feta filo rolls and Turkish sausage served with freshly baked Turkish bread. Entrée Again a platter to share: ‘King of the grill’…..on a sizzling hot plate… A mixture of marinated lamb chops, minced lamb koftes, minced spicy chicken Patties, skewered mixed chicken, lamb cubes with peppers, onions….melt in the mouth chicken fillets served with tzatziki, rice and garnish. All the food was soooooo tasty and piping hot….. We will definitely be returning to this gem of a restaurant….. We are so, so full…. Delicious cuisine. Special thanks to the very polite and professional waiter Emrah and 100% compliments to the chef, Ibo. We’ll definitely be returning very soon.

Travelled 125 miles to spend another amazing evening with my husband, sister and brother in law. The food as usual was outstanding and Sam the waiter was brilliant. Would recommend 100%. Amazing place and staff… thank you again.

Came to Istanbul grill last Saturday. Couldn’t fault it. Service was brilliant and the food was just as good.

Fantastic meal and service as always. Lovely atmosphere. Eaten here several times and the King of the grill is our favourite meal. All the meat is cooked to perfection and nicely served. Family members travel from Northampton to eat with us here, as its one of their favourite restaurants. Always our go to choice.

Great food, really tasty and reasonable price Waiters all lovely, polite and helpful Will definitely be going back soon

Started off so well we were seated soon as we arrived this is where the best part ends…. 20mins to be asked would we like a drink left 25-30 mins with empty glass no option of refill Starter arrived quickly the mixed platter was a lovely selection extremely tasty. Where do I start with the main course well our waiter seemed to think after 60 mins that we was ready for our dessert yes before we had even had our main to be then told its would be another 20 mins we could understand if they had been flowing food out constantly in that hour we had only seen 1 table receive there main 20 mins passed by the food came out beautifully presented moussaka and mixed kebab skewers the latter being stone cold chicken and lamb what had supposedly come off the grill this went back with horrendous attitude from our waiter food came back warm but had been waiting nearly 2 hours at this point so are it did complain at the end but complaints seem to go over there heads would I recommend this place absolutely not

this is the one of the best steak I had for a long time. great service and atmosphere on a busy night. will be returning soon.

We enjoyed a lovely family meal, there was a lot of food! We had to take some home! The service was fine, no problems there and the food was great. We look forward to going back again.

Excellent value for money on the lunchtime two course menu deal. Good choice of starters and mains. Food was tasty and served hot. The waiter was attentive without being obtrusive . Would certainly recommend this restaurant.

The restaurant and staff are pleasant but the food isn’t. Ordered the stone baked bread starter which was shop bought and cold and and specialty lamb stew for mains which was a sparse insipid broth served with salad and rice. Very odd food indeed

We’ve eaten here several times, and last night again was fabulous.  We had a starter and a main course each and I had a dessert. The starters and the mains were large, hot and delicious.  Unfortunately the carrot cake I had, was a little dry even with ice cream. Perhaps it was left from the weekend. (This was a Monday evening) Staff are attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend this lovely restaurant.

The food was nice there but they left some cling film in my dish. The waiter first doubted it when we told him (even though the plastic was still in the dish) but eventually apologised. No commercial gesture was offered. Mistakes happen but the lack of concern about serving their customers warmed up plastic is very disappointing.

I came to this restaurant for the first time and all I can and all I can say is the food was exceptional and the customer service matched the quality of the food I couldn’t flaw the young staff as they was very helpful and ensured we all had a good night.

Great food, the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive! Could not fault the food as per always. Brilliant and would highly recommend!

We decided to drop in here last night as we were in the area and looking for somewhere to go and as we had a number of lovely meals here seemed an easy choice. We started off with the mussels and Turkish sausage starters all fine tasty sauce on mussels a bit thick but tasty, we had ordered chicken stroganoff and Iskender kebab for mains , my wifes stroganoff was not stroganoff it was more like a mustard sauce ( she is not having much luck with stroganoff lately ) and had to be sent back as also cold , my iskender was served on a bed of Turkish bread that was inedible and so hard the meat looked like a stir fry nothing like iskender I had had here and other places previously, good bit as soon as we let them know the heated up my wife’s chicken and changed my dish for something else. As we said we have had some lovely meals here and will give it another go but felt this is not the restaurant it was!!

Well it is authentic, and it does have a great menu and it's an OK place to sit ... not so busy on this visit. It's also pretty low-priced. But somehow it just doesn't hit the spot food-wise. Nothing specific, just left me feeling I'd some OK food, but no WOW factor

First visit and won’t be the last! Nine people dining and all served our starters and mains red hot and together. Varied menu. Something for everyone. Food excellent. Service good. Overall an excellent dining experience.

We went as a couple last Friday, but will be recommending to friends. The menu is not a standard menu, but vast with many choices, Turkish, Mediterranean, Italian pastas and pizzas. (Which looked gorgeous). There were plenty of tasty vegetarian options, and a really good...

I booked a table for 10 of us and due to a misunderstanding 8 of us turned up. The service was very good from the drinks to all 3 courses of the meal. The food was well presented and every one of us enjoyed every...

Expensive experience. Family of 4 for my son’s 20th birthday. Scallops bland and lemon for squeezing was swimming in sauce. Waiter brought me a small bottle of Prosecco and poured it too quickly so a large amount spilt all over the table. He apologised and...

Was looking forward to my first visit here. My starter prawn cocktail had maggot sized prawns (catering pack type) definitely not tasty or appetizing. My Caesar Salad hadn't tasted unwashed, contained twig-like stalks (which I nearly choked on). What a very unpleasant meal which cost...

Awesome food so delicious , lovely friendly staff so clean beautiful atmosphere fully recommend reasonably priced ,desserts are delicious

Been here before and lived it but Tonight was a disapointment. My starter of bruscetta was very acidic and a bit boring. Three thin slices of soggy bread with chopped onions, tomatoes and... Don't know. Just tasted of vinegar to be honest. My chicken stroganoff...

Family birthday meal was the occasion for six of us and had wanted to try here for a while - people had said it was decent. Lovely friendly service, attentive but not intrusive. Wide choice on the menu if there is a few of you...

Visited here with a large group of friends, food was great, everyone was very complimentary and enjoyed it, there was a relaxed atmosphere, staff was very friendly and offered drinks regularly, clean environment would recommend and visit again.

More like a mcdonalds than a restaurant.service slow.food average.looks better from outside than it is.if you want a cosy clean restaurant with attentive service then it's not for you.

Had a fabulous meal with friends ... great menu choices ... food was superb quality and the service from all the staff was excellent... will definitely go again and would highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Looked great upon arrival. Young waiting staff served us drinks. Eventually we ordered food. Just main courses I should add. 1 hr 45 minutes later our order trickled out. By this point we had been in the restaurant for 2 hrs. Food was reasonable but...

I recently came with my wife and young child and loved everything about it. The service was excellent and the food even better, they have a wide range of drinks alcoholic and soft drinks. We ordered creamy chicken pasta which was indeed creamy and delicious,...

Came into here with my family celebrating a birthday, we were warmly greeted by the manager at the front as he showed us to our table. We could feel the good vibe around the restaurant as soon as we entered. As we were dining with...

Visited as part of a group of six celebrating 2 birthdays, if I didn't know what restaurant it was would never know it was Turkish. My meal was 6 lamb cutlets with a bit of salad and rice and a couple of dips, well not...

A big disappointment. I haven't visit since before Covid and hoped things would have improved. Very poor service, nobody seemed to care. The food was cold and lacked any taste. I can't recommend

Went with the family today, 5 of us including 3 kids....what an amazing place.....food was great, atmosphere was really great, lively, but homely too....can't wait to come back!

Me and a friend decided to catch up and decided on going here as we have both been plenty of times before. We both ordered drinks for my coke to come and taste 1. Like it was out of a bottle warm and 2 it...

Once again, a beautiful meal, superb service and greeted with a friendly atmosphere. If you havent been yet, YOU MUST GO. 😊👍

Greeted by who appeared to be the manager (greeted is a bit of an overstatement) it was more of a grunt and stare. Already made to feel like an annoyance..and this definitely affected our time here unfortunately. Our drink orders were then taken by the...

Would leave 0 stars if I could - please do not go here! The manager is rude, obnoxious and quite frankly I have no idea how he is in the hospitality industry. We attended as a party of 19 for my partners birthday. I received...

Found this gem by accident when visiting Warrington. Service very good and friendly. Quality of food very good and I thoroughly enjoyed it and a good price too. I had chicken grilled with rice and salad and a beer cost about eighteen pounds. The chefs...

Husbands birthday.. table for 4 booked. Had a lovely time.. starters were delicious, I had the filo feta triangles. Meatballs were also a hot favourite. Mains were equally as nice, I had skewered lamb cubes. It was so nice, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you

My daughter treated me to a meal there this evening. We both live in Culcheth but I hadn't been to the Istanbul Grill before. The menu offers an excellent mixture of traditional and cross-cultural dishes, many of which offer distinctively different taste experiences. Their 'sizzlers'...

Great venue and fantastic atmosphere , food is amazing , well worth a visit ,. the sweets are good value for the money.

Always had a good meal & service here. Staff are friendly & lovely ambiance, very popular place in Culcheth.

Prior to Covid we visited this restaurant fairly frequently. Tonight it appeared to be under different management. It started with the waiting team attempting to serve us an incorrect order. The whole waiting team were very young and didn't appear to have a set area...

The boss was very rude when my daughter and her friends went to have some food and drinks! And when they got the bill they were over charged, which isn’t the first time may I add.

It was my second visit in two months , recommended it to friends who wanted to take me out . Food on both visits was spot on , service very good , and on both visits it was fully booked , great sign in the...

Meal booked for 19-30- Restaurant changed time until 20-00 we turned up at 19-55 and was taken into a back preparation room area and was told it will only be for 5 minutes. We waited until 20-25 before I approached and asked questions about our...

There were 16 of us and we were made to feel really welcome. The service was first class and the food excellent. Considering there were so many of us the waiters were very responsive and polite. Great night.

Went here for a date night and had the mussels for a starter only to find more shells with no mussels in it v disappointed then had the sizzling chicken and lamb only to find about 3 strips of lamb! Too many people in and...

We visited here with friends who live locally. This was surprisingly there first time also. Our friends kindly went to arrange our booking the night before as one of our group is vegan. I am told the person that helped that night was a younger...

Our food was excellent. Our daughter, who's vegetarian, chose a couple of starters instead of a main course and these were good too. The drinks were a little on the pricey side.

Went here on Saturday eve with family and can honestly say its the best meal and service we've had in a restaurant in ages. A lovely welcome. Lots of different choices on the menu but not rushed. The management staff made sure the place ran...

Amazing experience! This was our 3rd visit with new friends. Arrived and they remembered us, lovely touch. Fabulous food, then happy birthday singing started on a few tables, we all joined in and decided to start dancing. Next thing all the staff and customers joined...

Istanbul Culcheth. A splendid meal this evening. Excellent service. Food freshly cooked and delicious. We shared the mezze for two & then had lamb cutlets and the mixed grill. Portion size is generous. Highly recommend

Went here for a family lunch. It was pretty good. The staff were very friendly and helpful and service was efficient throughout. Quite a varied menu (as long as you like Turkish) and the food was freshly preared. Plkenty of room in the restaurant although...

Well what can we say about this place... Nothing bad... Had fantastic food, great staff with friendly aproach, and Sergei the manager was a pleasure to meet. We will definitely be goung again and again and again... Already booked for next week 👍. Thank you...

Staff were amazing, friendly and polite. Clean and tidy, brilliant speedy service. My problem with Istanbul Grill was the actual food. Me and the wife had the mixed grill which we both didn't eat, I'm not 100% sure the meats were what they claimed to...

Our first visit to the restaurant, we had a mezze to start which was very nice good portion and an interesting mixture of nibbles, I had the chef special meatballs in a tomato sauce, small salad and rice, tasty and struggled to finish it, Jan...

We had been wanting to visit here for a while and so with our wedding anniversary approaching, checked out the menu online and booked a table. The service was ok, friendly staff & quick to bring food out. The lunch menu is nice and reasonably...

Good here was outstanding as was the service. The chicken sizzler was really good and there are multiple vegetarian options as well. Service was great and the baklava is worth a try

Service good, although wasn't asked if we wanted desserts and was just presented with the bill. Food was really good, apart from the bruschetta which was rock hard! Drinks... rip-off. £3.50 for half a cider is a joke!! You need to review your prices. Probably...

My husband riding past on his motorcycle.He was so impressed by the aroma from this restaurant he came home, we jumped in the car and went to eat. Arrived and staff friendly and helpful. Just spent A Wonderful afternoon there. Husband had starter of mussels...

Really nice friendly atmosphere. Food was really good not a long wait. Service was quick and efficient. Nice cocktails

Our table was for 7pm. It is now 9pm and we still haven't received our meal. The waiters have been very attentive, but the owner is bawling and shouting at them for no reason. We are not at all impressed.

Years ago I used to write restaurant reviews for a newspaper and I based my score out of 10 from 3 factors... food, service and ambiance! Some places have great food but it's quiet and boring... some not so great food but top staff... This...

Ate here for the first time last night. The food was amazing and the restaurant was really nice with a good atmosphere. I have recommended this place to my family and will definitely be visiting again. It was absolutely packed so really shows how popular...

Went for my birthday and the staff couldn't do too much for us which is rare in some restaurants these days. Service was spot on menus and drinks came fast and nothing was too much trouble, the waiters also spent time talking to the kids...

Fabulous food today in this warm and colourful restaurant. Wonderful staff , who couldn't do enough for us, including little tweeks to the menu for mum who can't manage a large meal. Nothing was too much trouble. Happy days 😁 we will be back!!!

It was our son's 40 birthday and a table was booked for Friday 23rd July 2021. 10 of us in the party. We arrived at 7.30pm and ordered. The children received their meals, starters arrived 20 mins later. We waited 2 hours for our main...

Been there on friday, absolutely great atmosphere and delicious food. Highly recommended. Will definitely come back.

I went here for lunch and the food was absolutely amazing! All the staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Highly recommend for anyone to go, great prices and huge portions!

It is a real shame that our experience at this restaurant was utterly disappointing. Having booked a table at 7 for my husbands 40th birthday by 7.20 we was “told” twice to hurry with our order. We was still waiting for drinks to arrive at...

The food is amazing. Especially the garlic bread and lamb cutlets. All the staff are really helpful and friendly but I must give a special mention to Serji who looked after us like we were royalty.

Have visited many many times before. Excited to visit now restrictions eased and treat my friend for her birthday. Waiter was very pleasant but did not wear a mask and told us not to bother as we entered. Website clearly showed lunch menu was £9.95...

We have visited the Istanbul restaurant several times previously and always enjoyed the food and atmosphere in the restaurant. Tonight was a disappointment I'm afraid in several ways. First impressions weren't good when we arrived at the restaurant there were several groups waiting for tables...

Went here tonight told half an hour for food. No problem there. Starters arrived after 40 mins . Tsatiki in a bowl with bread, no spoon so had to leave most of it. Mains arrived 80 minutes later just looked like it had been slopped...

Nice friendly place, starters nothing special, had mixed grill for 2, meat was tasty but sparse and served on lots of onions so not very impressed, quite expensive for what you get really, probably won’t return sorry

Everything was Perfect! Friendly staff, great atmospere, nice location and of course delicious food. Everythi g was so good and well presented. I can’t wait to come back here.

Went for lunch menu advertised on website but apparently not available till next week. Waited 35 minutes for food...not ideal for lunch break. Food nice but then couldn't pay as card machine down...messed around for 15 minutes and late back for work. Won't be going...

Have to say a great change from previous restaurant, great food and service. Will be going back and will recommend to all my friends

Good service and delicious food which was cooked to perfection. First time visiting but will be back.
