Istanbul Mangal in Reading

Great food and great service. We order online and then pick up. Food always ready when they say so no waiting around. Customer service is brilliant too. Keep up the good work!

First time visiting this place today & had a doner wrap with chips & a Sprite - it was very nice. Thank you guys so much ! Will definitely be recommending.

Great tasting food and good service

Coming here for years. Food is always so delicious and hot, and prices are really good. Staff are lovely too.

Small lamb kebab hardly came with any salad I mean literally hardly anything.

Nice food but for a large kebab it felt like a small one, pretty bad portion size

Great value and service by the guys at Istanbul Mangal! Food always hits the spot

Excellent! Fresh, Tasty, Quality Turkish Cuisine. My ONLY goto eat out healthy option. And the Sea Bass/Bream 👌🏿

Delicious chicken shish kebab, salad and chips. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended

Always come here for Kebab and it is very good, it is very easy to order, the staff are very friendly and it is so quick. We normally get 4 kebab meats and 4 chips and it takes about 10 minutes waiting inside. I recommend coming here as it's very good.

Great. Best kebab shop in Reading. Lovely food and service. Top marks!

Absolutely dire... Asked for mint yoghurt and got a kebab covered in just "dinner mint" totally ruined... Avoid..

One of the best kebab shops I’ve eaten from. Prices vary but you can buy a mixed meat selection for the kebab. Portions are fair, salad is fresh and the shop itself is clean. Nice atmosphere and the servers are most polite. I’d suggest the hummus, it’s the best I’ve tried to date.

Really nice and clean kebab shop the service was 1st class and friendly and the food was cooked infront of me and delicious!!

I'm regularly customer for 10 years. Today wasn't the tasty meal neither service. Not asked if in or take away as i was usually asked, I sat down with my son after placing the order. Young man was preparing it and packing into take away boxes and wrapping it in paper . After 5 min when everything was ready , he called me only to find out that we were eating in. So they have started moving food in to the plates . My kebab meat wasn't hot and juicy as usually . My son's was mixed with salad which has happened during the transition of it from take away box to platez. Came with soggy chips. What happened Istambul Mangal. Wasn't there the boss on a shift today and you got more lazy? Today it was the £21.30 worth disappointment especially that I let myself to spend money for buy to eat very rarely .

Food always good, service improved.

Possibly the best organised kebab place I’ve seen. Food was delicious. Strongly recommended for kebabs. Super clean, well organised, young lads at the till were very helpful (quick to provide a cleverly laid out allergy menu when we mentioned dietary restrictions). Keep up the great work.

very tasty, polite staff, good time.

Excellent food.excellent staff. Fresh food.5 star on the app as well Food Ready in 20 minutes

Friendly staff. Food is always nice. We have kebab and chips for here and constantly good. Tried some garlic mushrooms this time which were also decent. Recommend Istanbul Manual

Outstanding Place with great food and hospitality. Highly recommended.

It's a clean business. The staff is very friendly and caring. Portions are filling and delicious. If you miss Turkey, visit this restaurant. Best kebab restaurant in town. Hygenic . The staff is so friendly. If you miss kebab, come here

Best kebab in Tilehurst area and possibly Reading. Food quality and portions are very good 👍

The best food ever! It’s lovely and clean in the restaurant and I’m fussy. I love going because the whole team are so friendly. Great prices and the food is good quality. Would always highly recommend!!

I have been using Istanbul Mangal weekly for 5+ years. In all that time I have never had a bad meal. The food is always exceptionally fresh, well prepared, plentiful and tastes delicious. The Staff are always extremely friendly, helpful and generous. The premises are always clean, tidy and well presented. Overall, an excellent experience.

Always go here. Made fresh very friendly service with a smile. Always happy to help. My kids like the lolly pops.

Excellent food and quality of ingredients. I have one twice a week!!

10/10 absolutely amazing food and amazing service. Especially Roj a former Gordon Ramsey Cook, he cut the tomatoes very quickly

Meat quality is fairly decent for kebab shop, the shop is incredibly clean and the staff are very pleasant... Real bonus is they have managed to keep there prices still fairly low during the time of higher rates absolutely fair play to them

always go here . food is always spot on. disappointing because unfortunately my food was stone cold today hence the 4 stars

They make the best Chicken Kebab Wraps. I come here every time.

We get our kebabs from there last 2 years. Fresh food, spotless shop and great service. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend

I come here regularly and have never been disappointed. Really good food and excellent service. For sure has to be one of the best takeaway restaurants in Reading.

Been here numerous amount of time and each time it is always spot on. I will definitely go back again as it is the best kebab shop in Reading. Staff is nice and friendly.

Perfect as per usual!!! Quality food and friendly staff.

Real doner! One of the best doner eat!

Came in today to get a lamb shish kofte combination it was delicious. Whilst waiting for a kebab I had a turkish tea with a Turkish delight it was very kind of them offering. Everyone had smiley faces will be definitely coming back.

Had a kebab last night was amazing as usual portion sizes where more than what I expected!!! Tasteful kebabs best in the area without a doubt

Very friendly staff and the food is amazing. Highly recommended.

Consistently good food, friendly and humoured service. Wings could be meatier, wraps need less sauce. One of my top 5 kebabs in Reading.

Chips improve, Cod and chips is smaller but cheaper. Not sure if the cod is fresh. Authentically Turkish, decent halloumi and great service

Honestly Terrible!! The portions have got stupidly small, the chicken shish was completely bland no flavour at all, the lamb Doner was undercooked with no colour whatsoever, the house chilli sauce was freezing cold. Nasty bottled overpowering garlic sauce, seriously Shocking! last time going here! Ephesus grill alot better

I always use the van but fancied a mixed kebab so gave this a go. Pleasantly surprised, ready for collection on time, hot, and tasted good.

This is the best kebab I’ve ever had and highly recommend it to everyone, very clean, spectacular customer service and most importantly, delicious food. I recommend everyone that they get the Chicken shish and chips as in my personal opinion, and all meats are not processed.

Excellent food, service and staff. This is my go to take away.

I come here as we haven’t been for a while and every time I come here the food was nice unfortunately this time I have to say it was terrible. My mrs and son had doner meat and chips and I had a mixed kebab. Hardly any doner meat on all meals which was very greasy and stringy and the chicken was the same. It was that greasy the pitta bread turned back in to dough and was literally falling apart. I hope they can turn this around as the staff are always friendly and the restaurant is always clean.

Very good food and service, very clean location!

My wife and I often travel from Bracknell for this place. The food is literally my favourite 😍 everyone who works there are super nice. I want them to open one I'm Bracknell (I always ask) 😅

Nice tasty kebabs, clean restaurant and friendly staff

Not so great value anymore. Large is a small in a bigger box. On the plus, its a clean shop and very nice salad.

Best kebab shop in Tilehurst store friendly great service and amazing food top notch

We ordered £50 worth of food, every single bit of it was cold; portion sizes not worth what they charge and they were stingy with both meat and sauce.

The best food and good service specially Salahadin and Rojhat they’re very friendly. Highly recommend.

Lovely staff, tasty food. Clean and well presented restaurant. We had a mixture of lamb and chicken from the grill with salads and an onion ring side. The food we took away was hot, flavourful and well packaged to takeaway. We ordered online for collection - simple.

Good Halal food even at late night.

Too expensive and very small meals

Simply outstanding. Popped in because I was in the area and heard recommendations. Had a sit in lamb doner and was surprised to find it served on a plate, immaculately presented with a pitta on the side. Superb house chili sauce, non greasy, delicious meat, clean and dry plate at the end. I had forgotten a doner could be this good, I would travel to come back. No idea what are people complaining about in the feedback...... Just try this place, it's clean, plenty of seating and friendly staff. Terrific.

We hadn't been for a while so we thought let's go out for dinner with our two little ones. We got two mix donner meat and chips, wings for the kids and couple of drinks. The chips tasted like they were left out and put back in the oil to reheat them. My son who loves chips like all kids, didn't like them at all which was a first. We bought 5 wings and were shocked on the size and quality of them. They were tiny and charged £6 for it!! We took the remains with us out of politeness as we didn't want to be rude but ended up throwing them away which I normally don't like to do. They weren't great at all and had a horrible smell. On top of that, they offered if we want chilli sauce and had the cheek to charge for it which I was astounded as I have never ever paid for sauce in a restaurant/take away. When I brought to the workers attention about the chips, he said they were made fresh and it was just an "odd bag" and sometimes it happens. Another odd response - blaming the bag of chips 🤦 Had to go back and feed the kids dinner at home which was disappointing as they did not enjoy it at all so sorry but not going back again.

Great kebabs. I use it every week.

We went there yesterday 9/4/22 me and my partner haven't had one from hear for a while so we thought we treat ourselves especially as last time we had one it was lovely. Well it turned out to be a big mistake when we got home we noticed they plastered chilli sauce all over the donner kebab and put the wrong salad on it okay it dont sound that bad but my partner is allergic too tomatoes and he don't have sauce, so back in the car we go he takes it back they did apologise and gave him a new one well lets put it this way it wasn't very warm and in the mean time mine was getting cold as we had to go back to intanbul to change his kebab. i had a chicken shish it was okay but not the best we wont be going back hear again thats for sure.

The best Kebab house in town. Always friendly. Always polite. Food is amazing 👏

Friendly staff and if you stick to a shish kebab not an unhealthy meal 😁

I haven't eaten out for two years, so haven't posted any reviews during that time. And I can't recall every having had a takeaway! But this afternoon my visitor rang around various places in Tilehurst and this appeared to be the only one that was open. Despite having lived here for 47 years, I couldn't place exactly where it was and advised my friend to park in Armour Road - meaning a walk up School Road. (Still, I was able to point out to her the various amenities.) The guy serving us was very pleasant, though I was a little surprised that it was "cash only". Back home, my friend pointed out to me the various ingredients, which I enjoyed. They were tasty and well-presented. And there's enough left-overs for two more lunches!

The staff are so friendly & I go every wk.they know what I like.if u want quality.this is the place

Best kebab I've ever had. Lamb shish is lovely and pink in the middle

Went there with my friends on New Years’ Eve. Had great food, lovely staff and even gave us complimentary Turkish tea as they saw we were enjoying our conversation😅 nice place to chill out, recommended 👍

Nice food and excellent customer service

Having recently moving to Tilehurst and being partial to a kebab I thought I would give Istanbul mangal ago having heard a lot of good comments on the food and wow it’s sure didn’t let me down BY FAR THE BEST KEBAB I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! The price was a little more expensive than a typical kebab van but the value for money is exceptional baring in mind you get real tasty non processed meat compared to the kebab vans brought processed lamb donner. The staff were very welcoming and friendly the premises were very clean and display cabinets were very Enticing. Honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough you’d be foolish not to give this place ago and as for kebab vans they no longer have my custom.

Great food usually go to the van , but chalk and Cheese and honestly get what you pay for , quality and really enjoyed thank you

A lovely little kebab house with very friendly and very accommodating staff. Tried this place for the first time this evening and impressed by the quality of the food. I had a wonderful chat with the guy that served me. It's spotlessly clean, there is the option to eat in at no extra cost and if you do, they provide plates and cutlery. This joint is just a few minutes walk from my house and I'll certainly be back.

Excellent food. Lamb shish is very tender unlike most other places and the donner kebab also doesn't leave the greasy after taste. Friendly staff with a great sense of humour.

Always friendly and the food is excellent. Not too long of a wait even when busy which is often.

We use this as our goto takeaway we love the food and the team are great blokes they are friendly and outgoing always happy and attentive our daughter loves there food and even made them there burger for the counter amazing food tasty good quality and flavour is amazing a must go to place to eat only wish they did fried chicken. Order here every weekend guys working our top blokes working hard to get food right always make tasty food kebabs are tasty a must for me takeaway as always.

Love the lamb kebab - fully recommend. The guys who work here are the best 🙂

Just got myself a lovely chicken kebab always fresh and tasty the resturant is clean and tidy the staff are very friendly and dressed clean highly recommend recommend Jackie x

Breakfast, lunch or dinner, I would come and have food from here if I could. Would totally recommend - the chicken is the best.

Amazing food every time and the staff are always so polite and friendly. Every time I visit it feels like a real treat. Great value for money.

A neighbour told me about this takeaway and, oh boy, was he right. The food is excellent (very tasty and NOT greasy) and the customer service is brilliant with very friendly staff. I will definitely be a regular.

I like this place, would recommend it. But wish they did UBER Eats or something...

Awesome service, amazing food and the most friendly helpful staff I have met!! Cant recommended enough

Great food and reasonably priced. The salad was really fresh. I will go back again.

Friendly staff always prepared to help place is clean and tidy and the food is always good fresh to your order

Excellent food, excellent service. Staff are very friendly I’ve ordered food from here many times. Most likely, I’ll order more food from here

Overall decent kebabs, although the grilled chicken is occasionally overcooked and and as a result dry. Always really friendly service.

Ordered a chicken shish based on a friend’s recommendation - using the online ordering service it was ready exactly as stated. As per most kebab places the small portion was still substantial, however unlike others the meal was not greasy, instead incredibly flavoursome. Chips also tasted great, would highly recommend.

Food absolutely amazing as always-other half tried the Special Kebab tonight and couldn’t eat it all, which is a positive result. Just recommended to my Mum for my Dad’s bday take away!!! Thank you!

Really friendly staff, and great food! The shish kebabs we had were great, very nice marinade, and accompanying salad was very fresh. What's not to love!

Amazing food the family loves getting a takeaway from here and the staff are so friendly and helpful... every time we have gone there they remember us and make us feel so welcome

Couldn't agree more with all other 5* reviews. The service is always excellent but most importantly in the last 5years we've never ever been disappointed with the food (lamb shish kebab). That says a lot 😁

Donor kebbabs and chips are the best in town.... Regular happy customer here...

Number one place in Reading. Food tastes excellent, staff are also very welcoming and friendly! Will always recommend this place to friends and family without a doubt. Side note: Best grilled wings in town!

Great food, great people. Love this place...

Loveky food made fresh and to order. Such friendly staff who really care about their customers.

We always have excellent friendly service and the food is top notch! May have to wait a bit but its definitely worth it.

Always amazing food. Staff are extremely polite and helpful.

Best kebabs and service anywhere. Clean and tidy. Everything fresh. Well done

Came in for the first time; staff member behind the counter was an absolute gentleman; polite and great food. Will be returning

Always my go to for a treat. I tend to have the lamb or chicken shish and it is such good meat and marinade, and very reasonably priced. With the way its cooked fresh and the salad I even feel it is doing me good 🙂

Thank you very much for allowing us to collect for the Poppy Appeal outside your premises. It is greatly appreciated. Bill Campbell
