Istanbul Restaurant in Oldham

The juice was one of the bestest things served which made me like the resturant a lot. The food is also very similar to what desi people eat. Would recommend to everyone

Food was nice and decent service. However they over did it with the tangy flavour

It’s closed down and the owners are not so bothered to update on Google

Lovely food! Staff are very attentive too. Great place for a family meal.

Waitress was very good with her recommendations for my meal. Best Knafeh I've had.

Quality food with excellent service

Delicious food and lovely staff!

Unfortunately our second visit to this place wasn't as good as the first. Visited for lunch and the place was dead, this should have been our warning sign to leave. The lamb donner had the most unusual smell and taste & the rice was again tasting funky.

If you are looking for distinguished restrant to eat meals for you and your family.,then you are in the right place..the most delicious foods Sandwiches. Shawarma and other delicious dishes..and make sure that one visit not enough for this grand place

We visited on Saturday evening at around 6pm. At that time the restaurant was quite so we were shown straight to a table even though we didn’t have a reservation. The restaurant is much bigger than I expected so I wouldn’t expect there to be a problem getting a table even at business times. The food was very tasty and the portions were generous. We ended up taking a half of our meal home. Service was quick and attentive but not over bearing. The whole experience was positive and I would definitely recommend a visit. We will visit again.

My all time favourite place to go to, I’ve tried so many different Turkish restaurants but no one does it like Istanbul. The flavours are unmatched and the customer service experience is always so inviting. We were served by Anna and Gigi and they accommodated us really well, setting up a reserved table for 13+ people. They helped us with recommendations and were very attentive all evening.

Food was lovely! Staff were friendly

Been here a few times now mainly for lunch. Excellent food and lovely staff. Will be back soon

Excellent food beautiful Restaurant great food excellent customer service. Highly recommend going there for a meal.

You will always get great food at very reasonable prices at the Istanbul Restaurant We are regular visitors and always have a good food and great service from all members of staff. Sam was very helpful on yesterday visit

Asslamalaykum the staff are very welcoming and polite our waitress GG was fantastic and she tuck great care of us whilst there. We went as a family and ordered the mixed platter for 2 it was delicious the lamb and chicken was perfectly done. My kids loved the rice, donner and chips. Me and hubby tried the Turkish tea it was really nice. Fantastic place for family. Thanks again GG for making my family feel welcome and looking after us.

Very tasty food. Very co operative staff

Tasty Turkish food especially the lamb cuts..service was friendly and efficient.

Delicious food 😋 definitely recommend excellent service 👌🏼

Fantastic food and service- value for money too.

Very good Turkish food and customer service.

The price gone up twice very expensive!!!! Ridiculous expensive 😒 and the meat was very dry. We were still eating the starter when the waitress brought the main meal by the time we ready to have the main it was stone cold. Not impress and wouldn't be going back there. Too expensive!!!! ☹

Very rude staff behaviour. Staff lie he’s manager but he was not.

Worst management, I meet not polite person which tell me he is manger without any dignity and respect for customer. He want to sell his food what ever it takes. They take more than hour to prepare three wrap chicken , all of them smells bad with a lot of oil in it . I asked him to refund my money for that bad food, but he refused like greedy person without any dignity If I wasn't with my kids , I will through his smells food in his face .

Terrible! Went in with 5 people, waited over an hour for our food, only to be served 2 meals, so they wrote down the other 3 meals but I guess they magically disappeared from the order pad, plus the waiters had no idea what was going on and they avoid eye contact, definitely don't recommend this place, spend your money at McDonald's instead, far better service

Ordered a pick up meal for for... wow.. absolutely stunning food

AVOID THIS PLACE! We went for Eid. We went as a group of 12. Restaurant at the time wasn’t that busy. We placed our order at 6:45pm. Starters came quite quick. But the mains took a very long time. The first set of mains came at 7:30pm - we were also told that some items weren’t available…45mins after we had ordered. My main course came at 8:05pm! We were told that the kitchen made a mistake but then we were told by the floor manager that the lamb donner had finished so they had to put a new one on which is why it took long. We got told two different things, so which was it? One of our orders was changed 4 times. We also were given extremely oily food and felt like it was well done, chewy and just dry. Overall, lack of communication between kitchen and floor meant we had a really bad experience. We were really excited to eat here but after this experience, we won’t be going again. If I could give 0 starts, I would but google doesnt allow it.

Came here to try the mixed grill and tea and I wasn’t disappointed it was amazing the mixed grill was very flavourful. Would definitely come here again.

Advertised as open when it was closed. You have to have the courtesy to update information like this. No answer machine message to say so either so poor service or lack of it.

I don’t understand why this place has only 4 stars! The food is very tasty & so fresh! The staff are very friendly & it’s excellent value for money. Food was beautiful 🤩

The food was nice. Had better. Service was abit slow. We didnt get the complementary bread with the starters. It came with the mains. Overall experience, Okay. Would i Recommend this place? Give it a try.

Food is always delicious. We usually get the sharing platter, and there is plenty left to take home (it tastes just as great as leftovers). Mains may be on the pricey side for an Oldham restaurant, but I'd say they are worth every penny. Their desserts are wondrous too. The staff are consistently helpful. Nice decor. Sometimes play a strange selection of songs that detracts from the Turkish ambience, but it's forgivable. Thank you for your hospitality!

Honestly one of the best places to eat within 10 miles of Oldham, I'm so happy we found it. Food was quick, really good and we fed 4 people for less than £70 with a mountain of food left over. Staff were all really nice, really couldn't ask for any more.

Ordered takeaway. The food was appalling. Definitely won't reorder.

Beautiful premise well established seating arrangements colorful lights and designs.Delicious healthy food and well mannered staffs with friendly approach.

Food was OK, hype about this place over rated , shish kebab and chicken Donna was amazing, chips and chicken wings and lamb ribs and chicken tika wasn't so great, what really annoyed me the most was can of drink cost £2.25, Bring your own cans of drink! platter for one £18 quid not worth it food portion so small.

Food was delicious. Could not fault any of it. They give you a complimentary bread starter while you wait, the chili dip was nice. The waiter came with smoke liquid which looked amazing and wowed the kids The complimentary Turkish tea was also nice

Service is toooo slow.and the staff even forgot our order and have to wait for 30 minutes during the food which ofcourse made our valentine dinner got ruined(you can imagine).having said that it is not a waiters fault actually its a management fault. how you can handover more 20 tables and cash counter plus to only 3 waiters.this is waaaayyyy too much for 3 waiters. Please hire more staff for dinner at least in order to make people experience amazing.thank you

Excellent service . Food was lovely . Thank you 👌🏽

Visited here for my daughters birthday in December. I have visited the Manchester one and that is lovely. Where do start we found a huge hair in our food and was only given a 10 percent refund. The manager wasn’t even going to do that and was just going to take the payment off the bill for that one item (yeah because we was so going to eat that). The service was terrible with what could be inexperienced kids serving (there was one wonderful young lady who did get us the 10 Percent off after complaining) the manager was no where to be seen after finding the huge hair that made us all feel sick, that we just left and took the food boxed for our dogs. I would avoid this one - sort your management out, and hospitality it’s awful. Very cold place not like the usual Turkish places.

We visited for a small birthday party (13 people). Waitresses were friendly and food was ok. However, before we got our food, we were told there that you will get 10% off total bill for NHS staff which I am. When it came to paying, the manager (Mr Ali) told the person on the till to only deduct 10% off one person who had the card NOT the total bill as said earlier. The food ordered included a few platters so how can he work this out. He then told the staff to add the Total number of people and divide. This didn’t make sense as there were a few under 5 year olds whom didn’t eat or had a few chips from the parents plate. The manager didn’t come out at all to speak to us. We decided to pay the bill in full but won’t be coming back there. Manchester branch is night and day better. Avoid Oldham branch. Maybe a reason why it’s always so empty.

Excellent customer service and very nice food.

Fantastic restaurant,staffs go above and beyond. Would definitely recommend

Excellent traditional food, fresh and tasty. Service fantastic. Will be back again. Highly recommended.

The mixed donner wrap is very tasty decent portion size however the consistency in quality can vary quite a bit, sometimes the meat is well cooked sometimes it's chewy. Definitely feels healthier on the stomach than most restaurant and takeaways in Oldham. More money's worth than German Donner too

Nice restaurant, great food and lovely staff, only thing is that they don't serve alcohol, luckily I had some at home to make up for it.

Lovely restaurant, the Turkish sausage starter, iskender and the kofta were very tasty. Decent size portions, and friendly service

Such a lovely clean restaurant with excellent food!! Went for a Xmas lunch and the service was brilliant and the food amazing! Highly recommended maybe the best place now on Yorkshire street!

Spacious place, good tables and chairs. Decent variety of courses. Tasty food especially if you like grilled stuff. Excellent staff. I did not like the rice but chips were good. It would be nice if they also had still juices like Rubicon or J2O but there are other options. Well priced. Would definitely return.

Great restaurant! I would like to note that it is an excellent service. The food is delicious! The order was placed quickly enough. I liked the beautiful, background music that does not interfere with conversations. The restaurant is very cozy, beautiful design, I didn't want to leave. Many thanks to the girls waitresses for the excellent professional service, thank you very much to the guys, the cooks for the professionally prepared, delicious dishes. I really liked that the restaurant is clean! I have been in to many restaurants and they were not clean and this is sad for catering! Minus of this restaurant: plastic plates, I would not like to see plastic on the table in a restaurant of this level. And it's cold in the toilet. But in general, this did not spoil the overall impression! We will definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends and acquaintances!

Lovely food, will definitely visit again

Ordered food from here and coudnt eat a bite of it...thats how smelly and discusting it was.tried few bites was not tasty either so i just wasted my money coz all of the food went in the bin mostly due to the smell. Worst food ever .

Authentic Turkish food all freshly prepared, good friendly service in a nice setting. Will certainly visit again soon.

Visited with a large group of friends on a Monday lunchtime. The service was friendly and efficient and there was a huge choice of authentic Turkish food. The two young women serving us were very lovely and turned off the music for me so I could hear better. Everything was fresh and delicious including the complementary bread and nibbles. The Baklava was the best I've ever had, obviously freshly made, and the Turkish coffee in a beautiful metal cup finished off a oerfect meal. There is a 20% discount until Christmas but we decided to pay that as a tip, it was still excellent value. I'll definitely be taking my family.

Was worth a try we did not know what we order but enjoyed it. I did not find it to be too expensive as some others have reviewed. The food was cooked and presented well. We will be back. And thay don't serve alcohol.

Food was lovely shame about the service,had to keep asking for drinks and no one checked we were happy with everything!

It's ok. But just lacked in flavour.

Food took forever and isn't as good as the Cheethamhill branch.

I love the food, delicious. Staff were very nice, will visit again.

Food poisoning! Went yesterday and the place was empty maybe one other table, not sure what was wrong with my food but been vomiting all night. The QC of the food needs to be the same at both busy times and non busy times. Really disappointed as we visit a lot.

Clean and warm, food was delicious 😋

What a delicious feast by @istanbulrestaurantoldham the food was insanely good 😍😍😍 I am big fan of local Turkish food and this mixed grill platter is to die for 😋. From mouth melting mutton chops to soft and juicy kababs, succulent pieces of chicken and mutton skewers is all what you need 😋. This platter is mildly spiced yet so flavourful, every single piece is bursting with amazing flavours. It is served with special Turkish condiments, Meze including cacik, Saksuka, Humus, Kisir, Sarma, Lamb chops, Lamb shish, Chicken shish, Lamb ribs, Chicken wings, Adana kofte, Chicken kofte, Lamb & chicken doner, Bulgur rice, Turkish flat bread, pickles, and lots of charred tomatoes, green chillies and onions. It's a perfect healthy meal for weight watchers as well. This is my all time favourite meal and everything in this platter is lipsmackingly delicious. It's a must try!😋 What’s your favourite Turkish food? Comment below Follow @imaamfitness for more delicious content.

Very nice food. Very clean and near place to go out family.

Very friendly and efficient staff. Food was delicious and served quickly. Very good value for money

I visited the Istanbul Restaurant today with my family the experience was very relaxing and the food was excellent would definitely recommend to anyone if you want a good meal out then definitely try this place five stars from all of us....

Delicious food with lots of extras thrown in like bread, olives, dips and salad. Very beautiful restaurant. Always offered turkish tea after on The house. Great asset to oldham. Slightly pricy for work Lunch so go as a treat.

Customer service and food were excellent. Prices are reasonable. Quality of food seems great along with the interior decor. This is a place to definitely try at least once and hopefully after the 1st time, will mean you come back for some more. The platter for 2 is enough for 2 people however the lamb beyti is definitely a must try also. Overall, great, polite customer service and the food was excellent.

Relax atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff yet professional. Portions are massive for most people, I think, and delicious most importantly for us is halal

We came here for a family birthday meal. It's a pretty big restaurant in Oldham - so far, I've seen. Great variety of choices - foods are fresh and delicious. We enjoyed it. The staff are friendly and helpful. It's on spot flavour, perfectly cooked and presented. Love their knafeh - it's a DELICIOUS taste of my home country! You won't be disappointed! بارك الله لكم جميعا

Had the mixed platter amazing food more than we could eat. Hot, tasty definitely will be ordering again!

Highly recommended. Very generous portions.

Lovely restaurant and really lovely, authentic Turkish food. Will definitely be back.

A good experience, the food was okay, I expected a little more on my plate for the price.

A serene environment for family and friends, healthy foods carefully prepared by professional chefs, cheerful staffs on attendance. Will have to come back for that seabass!

Been to the one on Manchester and this is on par in terms of quality of the food, great service, cleanliness of the place. The only thing that did disappoint me was the falafel they were quite dry but other than that good was on point from starters to mains to the dessert and the Turkish tea that was on the house. Would definitely recommend going there for a meal out

Came with high expectations but left very disappointed. The place itself was very smart and modern inside. Service was OK. The food however was poor, lacking in flavour and greasy. Unfortunately won't be going back.

Top food and friendly staff, Faz and his team did a amazing job! Thank you

Really good food good it just it takes a bit to long

It's a bit dear for the food we got but really nice atmosphere

Food wasn't all that food was expensive the price the portions are very small for the price don't come here first time and last time I'm not coming here back I don't recommend it

Really enjoyed the food. Service by the waitress with Hijab on, I don't know her name, but she was absolutely wonderful.

Went to Istanbul for an early evening meal yesterday so the restaurant was quite quiet at this time. Served complimentary bread with olives and dips which were delicious. Two good sized meals - one with lamb doner meat and the other a chicken shashlik.... both very enjoyable served with chips/rice. Wasn't too keen on the tomato bread base but the rest of the meal was lovely. The salad was brilliant.... very fresh and plenty of it. We were served by Gigi who was very friendly, professional and attentive without being pushy. Would recommend you try it for yourself for an enjoyable experience.

Struggling for somewhere to go on a Sunday Bank Holiday evening and eventually called in Oldham on a recommendation for a takeaway, but stayed for a meal after seeing the place. Lovely fresh food, salad, turkish coffee, turkish tea, bread and dips. Plenty of space between tables with comfortable seating. Gorgeous restrooms/wc (could have eaten our food in there!) Lovely staff, packed what we couldn't eat to take home. Suitably impressed - especially in Oldham town centre! No alcohol licence, but hey, that's what pubs are for! - or get an Uber.....

Food was good and service was spot on

Lovely food and attentive staff.

Very nice food and good service, but the mocktails weren't nice... The bread was very nice and fresh!

Excellent.. food was very good service was great... ambiance was nice. would highly recommend...

Delightful turkish food,woohoo!

Big dirty Restaurant and dirty shaurma not frish meat.🤮🤮🤮

Great authentic Turkish food, service was outstanding, we received fresh hot bread and olives and dips complimentary and also Turkish tea after our meal, will be seeing you very soon

Took my daughter for her birthday lovley food .really nice staff who all sang Happy birthday 😁 will be going again.

We ordered a takeway, the big platter for 5. The food very dry and hard, the meat was very dry and seemed liked it was reheated many times. Called to explain this to manger

Went for Eid family meal place was clean it's been open recently so whether it would like that as the goes by watch and see. Minimal interaction with staff, service was nothing that stood out. Food was OK portion was OK price was comparable to other Turkish restaurants Manchester. Service was prompt.

Visited today at 7.30pm prebooked via phone, table for 3. Food and service was really good. Highly recommend. The staff were very attentive. Will be definately returning. 5*
