Istanbul Grill in Stockport

Yesterday we ate at this restaurant, the food was really nice and we got the order very quickly. And it was not cheap. Today we came back and we wanted to take takeaway to eat food at home and celebrate new year. What happened? They were happy to serve us inside but they basically lied that they are busy and not taking orders for delivery. But! There were a few people in the restaurant. This selective approach was based on what? It’s very unpleasant and we will not come back. -3 families thanks to such “welcoming” approach👏🏻

Big thank you to Arkan and the Team at Istanbul Grill for coming to my aid in my hour of need. Staying at the local village Hotel who couldn’t accommodate my dietary requirement. Although the restaurant was close to shutting they prepared the most delicious food I have had in a while out. Nothing was too much trouble and I can’t thank them enough. Wishing you a prosperous 2025 which I don’t think will be hard after the good I tasted. 😋

Stall feeding time till you're pissed enough charlettons!

Thank you for a delicious take away meal this evening. We all had something different and we were all delighted. The food was delicious and there was so much. Thank you

Great food and service great atmosphere highly recommended 👌

Lovely and tasty food. Friendly staff and good service.

Went for the bottomless brunch they took for ever to bring me a drink and your can’t have a double then he told us we had 10 minutes left so I asked him for another drink he told me id had enough after paying £35 pounds for it 😡😡😡

It was very busy, so although we had booked we did have to wait at a bar table until our table was available. The prawn starter was just beautiful and my main the flat steak was cooked to perfection, my mum had the fillet seabass and loved it...we really enjoyed the food and the mocktails were good too! It would of been nice if they had made a little fuss for my mums birthday (it was that day) offered a free drink/dessert ir something like that but nevermind maybe they were just too busy to do that! It doesn't change that both myself and my mum would definitely recommend and would surely go there again next time we're in the area🙂

Always great food , really friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Been going here for years now would definitely recommend

Food portion very small. It was very dry.

This is the large coke i ordered. Im still sat here waiting for it, its been 25mins

Small portions, service was OK, very loud music.

Very nice atmosphere The person who served food was very nice. Must to visit

Food was sooooo good! Only issue it came with chips not rice

always good food and great delivery.would recommend.

Average visit quite night Peroni Larger - WARM Chiller turned off / not working Friends Steak poor to Average Poor / Cheap cut of meat Staff young member not sure What deserts available When we ordered He brought out The desert He said was now sold out I feel all of the deserts look bought in Not a good night spending £120.00 Will give a swerve next time

Great friendly place,food is fantastic

Exceptional quality food and service 👌

Great food, great staff & great atmosphere. Nuffield said!

When for a family dinner. First time we had been. We had a wonderful time and the food was excellent atmosphere was so friendly and the restaurant was nice and warm. The staff are so friendly we will definitely be going back .

Fabulous as always. Tasty and authentic. Love the food from here. Mixed grill has that just barbecued taste thTurkish

Food use to be great. Unfortunately everything has gone down hill since the menu changes. I won't be returning.

Fantastic service food was good and drinks

Not been this place for a few years but as good as I remember, lovely restaurant inside, very nice staff and most importantly great food!

Wow! The food is amazing & the staff Firat, Tayfun, Mustafa are beyond lovely. Thankyou for an amazing night with the family. Will definately return xx

Shared a delicious meal here with my family. The food was very fresh and tasty. Very friendly and attentive service.

most delicious food, I can only recommend!

Food is great, big portions, reasonably priced, very friendly service. Got us in , 9 of us, in no time when we walked in off chance. It's a lovely warm atmosphere. My second time and I'd definitely recommend

Went for a belated birthday treat for my mum who is gluten intolerant. From start to finish the treatment of us was wonderful. I called ahead to book and advised that my mum was gluten free. Akhan booked us in and not only made sure he'd ordered in gluten free bread but took the time to explain the menu options and the service was second to none. The only glitch was they did accidentally put rice with wheat on the plate but corrected it right away and brought a new plate. The food was also insanely tasty. I had the feta cheese borek which for me was the highlight of my food as it just melts in the mouth. All of the staff were just exceptional though and special thanks to Akhan who really went above and beyond!

Food was amazing , and the delivery man was very nice

Superb food, so tasty and cooked to perfection. It was my 75th birthday meal off my daughter. Brilliant atmosphere even had the bongos playing happy birthday to 3 other birthday celebrations. It was a fantastic place, a bit expensive, but the food was worth it.

Cannot rate this restaurant more highly- friendly staff and the food is stunning 🤩

Menu is very disappointing as they don't really cater for dietary requirements and not much gluten free option i ended up getting chicken and rice and that was it due to poor options plus they also added a service charge of 26.00 pounds its a huge shame we won't be going again as so many other places that offers better value for money.

Not like before. They changed the menu

Lovely food arrived hot many thanks

Held my grandsons wedding breakfast here several years ago , it was first class. Not been much since covid but after a long absence the head waiter recognised us and gave us both a big friendly hug. We're both pleased to see him. Food is highly recommended, ambience is good, children welcome. The owner and family also dine here which I think is a recommendation itself.

The service is fantastic. The seafood is not fresh. The Adana kofte and chicken are missing a lot of flavours. They weren't impressive. Too many dips in the cold starter selection that felt like a dips platter. Missing the great Mediterranean fresh salads that comes always generously with starters adn mains.

Our quest for well priced lunch deals continues. We’re pleasantly working our way through a list of localish places that have special lunch menus that are short and cheap. And at £14.50 for two courses, Istanbul Grill was well worth a try. So, to start, there were baked meatballs in a tomato sauce, topped with melted cheese. It comes with excellent bread – texture a bit similar to a foccacia – and a little mixed salad for crunch. The other starter was three dips – classic houmous, cacik with tangy yoghurt spiked with mint, and an aubergine/tomato mix (patlican salatsi in Turkish). There’s more bread and salad on that plate. Their take on Imam Bayildi was OK. A bit mono-dimensional – much too much onion – the imam wouldn’t be fainting over this version. Comes with rice. There’s more of that bread in the other main course. It’s cut into large croutons and cooked till crisp. Then it’s topped with tomato sauce and yoghurt and, finally, sliced chicken breast (they also do a version using a lamb kofta). It works. So, a nice enough lunch. And definitely a bargain. There’s another Turkish restaurant in the village. We’ll see how that compares. One will get culled from the list.

Friendly service, great menus for lunch bites and main meals. Really enjoyed the food, plenty of taste, well presented and would recommend.

Beautiful food good quality many thanks 🤩

The food was good. Probably an appropriate amount as well. A nice wee atmosphere for a family get together.

First time visiting here, the staff are very polite and helpful. The food was really tasty and fresh. Had the sharing mixed grill platter and the lamb was cooked perfectly. Would 100% recommend.

Another excellent meal here. Food is always fantastic. Staff are friendly and accomodating, nothing is too much trouble. Definitely recommend.

The food is good, but the prices are very high. The quantity of food is excellent

A little wait on arrival. So stood around waiting to be seated by front of house staff. Noticed straight away the restaurants lovely decor. Just went for an early light dinner. Unfortunately never got asked how are meals were, the table being did. Food was tasty, wine was nice also.

The food and ambience reflects am amazing Turkish feel …

Food was lovely, really relaxed atmosphere and the staff were lovely. Great bottle of wine too😊 thank you

Very nice meal and service great. Hope to go back Wednesday.

Myself and my wife came here for our 5th wedding anniversary, we have been here before and never had a bad experience the food is fantastic service was great we both left with very full belly's and big smiles on our faces. Cannot wait to go back highly recommend 👌.

Really lovely restaurant. Friendly staff, great food.

Amazing food, great portions, beautifully cooked, arrived still hot and the delivery guy was friendly and polite many thanks 🤩

I ordered from this place at least twice a week. As a family we work long hours and care for elderly parents every day so it’s hard to find quality, fresh, honest food to enjoy.

Terrible service and too long waiting although not at busy time

Food was really tasty, just a shame the skin on roast potatoes were missing. However this won't stop me ordering again

Ordered the prawn starter and mixed grill. The prawn starter has a nice presentation, with a good garlic and spices sauce; however, it’s a huge disappointment that the main key ingredient - prawns - is not fresh. The mixed grill was okay; however, one of the grilled items - beef patties - was dry. Of all the 3 items I ordered, the rice is the best of all.

First class dining experience. Fresh food. Lovely ambience. Clean venue. Pleasant staff. Bravo

Fabulous .. great quality food and delicious 😋 Many thanks 🤩

Food is always good. It was a fairly quiet time which suited us.

A great restaurant, friendly atmosphere and staff and fabulous food.

Just had a family gathering for my daughters 8th birthday food amazing,as always, the waiter who looked after us couldn't have been nicer and especially to my little girl thank yoi for making her birthday so special.

lovely food,friendly staff and great atmosphere

Taste of Turkey!! Great food, service and atmosphere.

Delicious food and friendly staff

It was a wonderful experience, food was so perfect, service was excellent love to have again insha Allah

Great food, always love the food here!

Me and my fiancee had our evening meal here. The best lamb I have ever had coupled with really friendly and polite staff. Seriously recommend anybody to try. You really won't be disappointed

absolutely fabulous meal ,huge portions ,beautiful food and amazing cocktails

Not as good as it has been prior to the point of it seeming warmed up.

One of the best places to sit down for an amazing mediterranean cuisine

cannot recommend highly enough

disappointing. not eaten from here in a few years, ordered our usual, portion size was absolutely tiny and it also arrived cold. used to be one of our favourites for a takeaway but to be honest i won't be ordering again, can get far more for my money elsewhere

Mixed skewer is £15 for 2 measly skewers of kebab - no salad, no rice, no sauce, no bread - all of this has to be bought separately. I’ve never seen a Turkish restaurant do this.

Lively place, good atmosphere. Meal was very nice. Wouldn't hesitate to go again!

I had a very good time absolutely. loved the waiter staff especially that very tall man. young girls i noticed were very helpful and polite. I loved to see young ones working hard. Food amazing especially that chocolate cake wow.

Way Overpriced and extremely bad service. Food was late for an hour even though we were the first table to arrive to the restaurant. After waiting for an hour and saw that all the other tables that arrived after were served with food we decided to leave and Thank god we left and didn’t stay as the starter (which was £40) was not worth it and they served it with ONE single piece of bread!! They tried to charge £5 per bread! Wouldn’t recommend and would never go back!

Just had the worst experience ever in a restaurant. We arrived the first in the restaurant with all the tables are still empty. After they took the order and served the starters "which is very tiny portions and highly priced" they kept us waiting for more than 40 minutes while they served the customer who arrived after us!!! First and last time visiting this place. We decided to leave and not to wait longer.

Staff unfriendly, food too expensive for tiny portions, wanted to charge us £65 just for starters and bread. Had to wait 40 minutes even though we arrived before all the other customers who were now eating. Sensed a bit of racism there. Avoid.

Absolutely the best restaurant I have been to. Service on top and food is absolutely delicious. No regret going here. Would recommend over and over.

I loved the atmosphere. Service very welcoming . BUT food overpriced , small portions as well

We decided to get a Turkish experience prior to our holiday to Istanbul, My partner was dying for a Moussaka and was craving this particular dish all day I had Muska Borek and and a mixed grill and it was unbelievably good! I was given a homemade Turkish chilli sauce that was to die for, when I said how much I lived it to top off the night one of the waiters didn’t allow me to leave until he gave me some to take home with me, Exceptional restaurant, food and staff - we will be back!

We were visiting Manchester from Canada and a friend of ours took us here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. What a pleasant surprise! The food was excellent and the flat bread, what an invention! My husband and I felt like celebrities with the singing, drumming and cheering of the staff and the other patrons to wish us a happy anniversary. I would recommend this restaurant 100%. Great food and great atmosphere.

Great food as usuall never fails .

Calamari & breaded king prawns weren’t great, definitely not freshly made. The main meals (steak and lamb) were very nice though. We came on mothers day and it was a 2 course set menu for £30 (+£6 for steak)… terrible value for money. The bill was £140 for 3 people with just one bottle of wine for drinks?

Came Saturday afternoon. Manager is extremely grumpy, no smiles or hellos. Very cold & dismissive to us & even our baby & toddler. Ordered oat latte & I got milk instead (I have a milk allergy) but the waitress quickly fixed this. Breakfast was good. Ordered our kids French toast but this didn’t come out & when I went to enquire they hadn’t even put it on, by this point hubby & I nearly finished breakfast so we cancelled the order as we had to leave for an appointment. It was only us & another couple at the restaurant so not sure how this was missed especially as manager said your kids breakfast is coming after he served ours to us. Kids got by on toast. One young waiter was absolutely brilliant with our kids, so chipper & made my toddler laugh! Thanks so much for being so sweet young man!

Food was mid, portion sizes was tiny for £16. The staff were very nice and the restaurant itself was nicely decorated. When raised about the food and portion sizes, the excuse was "not everyone can eat a big meal" I wasn't looking for a big meal but I'd be better filled to have a rustlers....

Visited with friends. Interior was ok, staff were friendly...that's where the positives end. Ordered a mixed grill whereby you have to order sides separately (not something I've seen in any other Turkish restaurant). Food arrived promptly and looked like the chef could not be bothered, four pieces of meat stacked on top of each other with a grilled tomato on the side, no breads, no sauces, the plate was a very sad looking effort. Tried to let the manager know what a mess the food was and he replied with a question of "have you seen how much things have gone up lately?" he totally missed the point. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't even consider returning.

I'm a regular visitor here, having been coming here for several years as it is my brother's favourite Turkish restaurant and he recommends it to everyone 😄 There are so many tasty dishes on the menu, with it being slightly expensive in some regards. But still worth it, can't speak highly enough of the food ❤️ To be honest the only reason I don't come here more is the price. But every meal I have had is memorable and leaves me feeling satisfied and looking forward to my next visit. They did used to do a lunch menu and a meze offer in the afternoon which was great value for such quality - don't know if they still do it Quality of food is excellent with the lamb chops exemplifying this aspect. The last meal we had was so good I had to write a review. 45 quid for an amazing meal, not bad at all 😊 I had the feta salad with a side of vegetables and my bother had the mixed grill with a side of rice and we had a garlic bread with cheese to share which was fabulous. Thank you for such a wonderful meal 🙏

Awesome food. Reasonably priced. Can't go wrong.

First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to all the staff for making me feel at home and for treating my husband like a celebrity! That's precisely what he mentioned to me, by the way. I am Turkish, and my husband is English. He is pleasantly surprised and delighted by the impeccable service and Turkish hospitality. We have visited many Turkish restaurants across the UK, and yours is undoubtedly the most delicious. The food is simply of the highest quality and incredibly tasty. Additionally, the restaurant itself boasts a lovely, cozy atmosphere. I apologize that I only took 2 photos and forgot to capture images of the amazing starters as we were so hungry! I would like to say thank you again from here.

A bit of Stanbul sunshine in rainy Cheadle. Ordered from the main dish, and this one was absolutely delish 😋

Food was delicious! Everything was fresh and tasty and the lamb chops were tender and full of flavour! The only thing I would ask for more of is the chilli sauce.

First time eating here but hopefully not the last. The food was fantastic, staff very friendly and a great atmosphere. Hopefully will visit again the next time in this area. Would highly recommend.

Over pricy. Chicken sizzler was not fresh . Not recommended

I've been there three times, and let me tell you, it's a fantastic place with a chill and cool atmosphere. The staff is super friendly, and the food is pretty good. Last weekend I ordered soup for a starter, it came with the most amazing freshly baked bread. It's definitely one of my favorite restaurants, and I highly recommend pizza pollo

Another amazing meal the food was beautiful and such generous portions we had the mix grill for 2 the meat is beautifully cooked and such high quality.the service is outstanding every one is so attentive and really go out of there way the waiter noticed it was my birthday and came out with a little desert and candles with out even being asked will definitely be returning soon thank you guys for a lovely evening

Amazing food. Great service. Lovely atmosphere. Totally recommend.

Perfection. Lovely food service, the decor was beautiful 😍

Delivery just as I’d hoped …nice chap😀. As good a kebab as I’ve had - quality. Will definitely be ordering again soon 👍.

I,Ian and Murat(steak chef),have been there for simple lunch but the owner of Istanbul grill who is Cengiz Pasha created a huge n so tasty,beautiful lunch makes us very happy Go there,try,taste,be happy We will come again %100 Thank you

Amazing! Staff were very welcoming and accommodating, made time to conversate with customers. Food was absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic atmosphere. Restaurant was clean and well set out. Love the fact it's an open kitchen too. Can not wait to visit again!
