Istanbul Restaurant in Herefordshire, County of

Ordered a mixed kebab that was so loaded it could probably feed me AND my imaginary friend! The lamb ribs were the Beyoncé of the dish—absolute show-stoppers. The bread, however, felt like it had just come back from an arctic holiday—chilly! But hey, nothing a quick nuke in the microwave couldn’t fix. Overall, 10/10 would definitely risk meat sweats again.

Amazing food as always, our favourite place ❤️

originally the delivery time 10-20 mins, it was over 1 hour from original order time. the food was cold and poorly presented and the drink was damaged and warm. the worst order I've ever placed.

Outstanding food, very welcoming staff. The sat 13 of us together and no problem with anyone's food or drinks orders.

A wonderful atmosphere, and superb food as well. The waitress who served us was called Aleyna, and she was extremely pleasant and a delightful person as well. I would give higher ratings all across the board if I could.

Amazing food and great service! Brought my family for a meal and will come again.

Very cozy, comfortable and tasty

I definitely love it 💕 friendly staff, Turkish cuisine delicious 😋 My honest recommendations 🌸

Amazing food as always! Probably the best restaurant in Herefordshire.

Food amazing as always quality and quantity is great

Sadly the rushing of the staff for you to eat your food and get out kills any enjoyment not only of being there but the whole dining experience completely. There are plenty of other places to eat in Hereford. I won't be going there again !

Excellent food. Everything was perfect. Thank you.

nice place very taste food and the best service 👍🏻❤️

Great food and service going back today 👍

the food was excellent. Best garlic mushrooms I've ever had. Definitely recommend.

Delivery guy was rude and didn't ring the doorbell while he arrived

Asked for Rio drink, received Fanta

A colleague and I were in Hereford for a work trip and at the recommendation of a local taxi driver we’ve had the absolute pleasure of dining at Istanbul on three separate occasions…and each time we’ve been, we’re gobsmacked by how good the food is. I’m a big fan of Turkish food and have been to many different restaurants in London, in various major cities in the US as well as in Turkey itself … and this place has got to be one of the best - if not THE best I’ve had. The meat is tender and succulent, meze bursting with flavour, salad crispy and fresh, and the homemade bread is to die for. Service is impeccable. You can really tell that the chefs and staff take so much pride in the food they serve. To top it all off, it’s very reasonably priced too! If this place were in London there would be queues out the door or it’d be booked out in advance for months. People of Hereford, you really don’t know how lucky you are to have this absolute gem of a restaurant! My next work trip here cannot come soon enough! My only note to management is I hope staff are being paid accordingly for their wonderful service - it’s such a rare thing to see; they deserve to be rewarded for their efforts!

Foodcwas stunning fantastic atmosphere. Staff good but over worked . Do not walk past without going in

Order was over an hour late and it was cold when we got it. Food was good, big portions.

Great food. Plenty of it. Chargrill flavours too.

Food wasn’t really edible. Dips missing and the dips received were wrong. No salad, but loads of rice very little chicken.

Really nice people, fast Order, quickly served, very tasty. Got a nice Talk and learned something from the staff. Would visit again!

Recommend the mixed meat platter for 2

Just had a works do and the food was delicious. The staff are friendly but they were very quick at clearing away the plates when some people were still eating, even though we told them so this was a bit annoying but that's the only downside.

The shop front and location do not jump out as a fair size restaurant but once you enter the friendly and efficient staff guide you into a surprisingly large and nicely presented establishment. Every mouthful of the authentic cuisine was delicious and a range of local beers and ciders was most enjoyable too. Highly recommended.

Superb food, very authentic and well prepared/priced. Staff and atmosphere were excellent. Highly recommended. Will definitely return.

I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at Istanbul, and it was an unforgettable experience! 🎉 The restaurant’s warm ambiance and authentic Turkish decor set the perfect mood. The food was outstanding—our mezes, lamb kebabs, and baklava were all delicious. 🍽️ The service truly made the night special. The staff went above and beyond, surprising me with a beautifully decorated cake and a heartfelt “Happy Birthday.” 🎂 Their genuine hospitality and attention to detail were exceptional. Istanbul is a gem, perfect for any special occasion or a delightful dining experience. Highly recommended! ⭐️

It's a beautiful place. So we liked it. The food was great

Ordered Shish Kebabs, tiny portions, no salad, warm cans of pop, sauces missing and expensive. Rubbish.

the delivery driver from just eat got the orders mixed up but the customer service of the staff at this place was brilliant and they came out themselves to give me the correct food he was polite and happy all in all nice meal

The food we had was great but we had no salad at all across the whole order even though we had asked for 'all salad' with each dish. It made the dishes quite bland. Disappointing 😞

I would say best Turkish restaurant in Hereford. Reasonable prices, excellent service, clean with lovely ambiance and of course beautifully food.

It's been a while since we've visited Istanbul so it was such a pleasure to find authentically prepared food. It brought back wonderful memories! We had the sharing platter and there was more than enough for the two of us. Come to this restaurant with a hungry stomach. Service was friendly and efficient and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. We had a very good evening out. We appreciated their late hours too.

We had a party of 10 here yesterday evening and we cannot fault it. All food was gorgeous, the service was excellent with a great friendly atmosphere. Some of us could not eat all of our food and we were provided with boxes to take home. Bread and water was also provided at the table. We will definitely be coming back. I cannot recommend enough!

It was one of the best flavors I have ever eaten, thank you for your warmth.

Everything was great, the food was really delicious. and the staff were very caring and friendly, thank you for everything.🙏

It was a great experience, from the friendly staff to the welcome and the food, thank you for everything..😊

Best restaurant in Hereford, massive portions and service was great too Will definitely be back again

food delivered late 1 hour, all is cold and they mix all salad in 3 dishes. Sorry guys but very poor service, before couple months good is go

Really best lahmacun and kıymalı pide . The employees and the restaurant owner are very polite people.

Brilliant Sunday lunch. Not quite traditional but super tasty and loads of food. We had the set meal for three. Brilliant value and service superb.

First time ordering from this restaurant. Food was excellent, delicious and filling. Really enjoyed it

Tiny tiny tiny amount of food provided for a premium £21 - I have had more for and better food from the local fish chip kebab shop - truly embarrassing I want a refund.

Utterly amazing ...gorgeous food superb service and a fantastic evening so clean and just wow !

I ordered food for 6:15 from Ross on Wye. I went in and the employees were nice-faced . food was absolutely delicious

Nice place, good service and affordable prices

My halloumi wrap didn't have much lettuce and had no cucumber but otherwise was very nice

Great food slowly working through the menu every meal been great so far

The sauce had leaked all inside the bag so it was a complete mess !

1st visit and wasn’t disappointed, got many a recommendation to try this restaurant. Service was excellent and quick Price was a little higher than expected but the service and the quality shows. Got a walk in table for 6 on a Saturday afternoon. Greeted and seated with professional and friendly waiter. Menu catered to both veggie and meateaters which great for our party. Food came really quick after ordering 6 different menu items, tried the beer and traditional green tea which was pretty refreshing! Options for meals for parties or 2 and 3 to share and a few sides. Would really like to go back multiple times to try all the other items on the menu.

Visiting Hereford for the weekend and noticed the advert for Istanbul Restaurant on the side of the football ground and thought we'd give it a try! Absolutely amazing restaurant. Really personable, friendly and funny staff and the food was so delicious. Highly recommended!

Not the best location being honest But the food is fantastic and staff lovely and friendly Would highly recommend, just don't go after 10.00 on a Saturday

So pleased to see good ratings for this place. - lovely food, sensibly priced and deserving of it’s ratings

Excellent restaurant, good food and service the best in Hereford, always a warm welcome from friendly staff and the prices are reasonable as well

First time at this restaurant it was busy. We had not booked but they got us a table great atmosphere great food and staff. Can't wait to go again.

Excellent food. Great price. Brilliant service.

If you miss Turkey 🇹🇷 you will find it here in this fantastic place. Best in the Town.

Fantastic Turkish food Love the grills and Shawarma Highly recommended

Very nice 👌 delivered quickly as well. Thank you!

Absolute joke of an establishment

1st time going here food was great maybe a bit more interaction about the lovely different food they serve might be helpful certainly be going there again

Have been quite a few times now. Simple, delicious food. Can't wait to go again soon..yummy!

worst behaviour ever in hereford. havent seen restaurant people talking rubbish. brought wrong order , instead of accepting , he started talking nonsense. i regret that i should have made a video of the person talking rubbish as a proof.

Istanbul Restaurant is the best place to get fresh tasty food and plenty of it. ♥

They were quite slow in service and they brought the bill and it was over £300 there were starters sharers all of what we did not have. 2 of our party of 8 only had chips and there were 2 child meals. When said about it it took ages to sort out we felt like they didn't believe us . Girl said they had problems with there I pads. Did not get an apology

Absolutely delicious. Really well seasoned and cooked perfectly. We got a 2 person special for the two people and the portions were big enough to take home and enjoy it again the next day. Next time I drive through the town I will be stopping there again for dinner. Highly recommend.

Food was amazing. Friendly delivery driver. He was the first driver to find us without getting lost (other restaurants not this one regularly get lost and food arrives stone cold) Followed the delivery app which showed our houses location without any problems. Will definitely order again.

Wow, what a delight this restaurant is! We visited for lunch with friends who come here regularly so that says a lot too. We had the lunchtime special of kebab and rice/salad and the same but with chips, no rice. We also had their own bread made there in the restaurant area. The food is superb, really tasty, beautifully cooked and presented. Everything was 100% perfect, the restaurant, staff, comfort, choice and the food. I really recommend that you visit.

It’s one of our go to takeaways now. The food is always hot! I must say the best chips in town for sure! We’ve ordered quite a variety of dishes so far and not once were disappointed, so well done Istanbul Restaurant, keep up a good work.

The Istanbul has become a favourite of ours for the amazing food and great service. On our visit last Tuesday we were given a friendly welcome and our was taken quickly. We had the mixed special for 2 and it was delicious. Authentic Turkish cuisine at its best.

I like Turkish food and this place does it well. I guess it must be fairly authentic as plenty of Turkish families eat there. Good.

Food is fantastic plenty on your plate nice fresh salad. Well worth a visit.

Good value, good portions, friendly staff!

To be honest, the food was pretty tasteless and bland, and the portions were extremely small... please don't let my experience put you off trying it, BUT I certainly wouldn't recommend nor return to this place.

Excellent food very good service

I’m sure you will enjoy there if you like Turkish food. FURKAN there is the best waiter, served with high quality.

Excellent food. May seem expensive, but when you see the sides that are included, it's actually good value. More than enough to eat too. Highly recommend.

great food very tasty we love food from this place

on time. little bit cold on arrival. but fantasticly tasty as always. food from here is brilliant

Food was cold, quality was terrible & portion sizes small, will not be ordering take out. Very disappointing considering eating in at the restaurant is usually excellent.

Best halal kebab place in hereford. Surprisingly their lamb meat doesnt smell at all. Bravo to their marination of the meat and cooking. Must try their chicken wings its soo juicy and perfectly cooked Didnt like the rice though not spicy at all

Dined here with my family for my birthday and it was lovely. Will be going again

Lovely food we all had something different and shared some starters lots of food was fantastic

Best Turkish kebab ever in uk.amazing thanks to chef 🙏🙏❤️❤️

The food was amazing, tasty, hot and perfect

Fantastic food and plenty of it

Disappointing to say the least, we ordered here because the place we usually order kabab/grill was closed. We ordered a mixed shish combination, to include rice/chips, salad, bread and a sauce, we chose chips and hummus as part of the deal. Price on line was £17.50. Delivery was prompt. However I felt for £17.50 the portion was very sparse, 5 small chunks of Lamar, 5 small pieces of chicken and a few chips. They did also include a menu, after some inspection of the menu it revealed that the pr

Very nice music. Even better food :D we've been there twice already and tried few different things. Meat and veggies always fresh. Food very tasty. Highly recommended. Lunch deals very nice priced, lunch for 2 for only £24. Cold starter - meze - with dips very nice and fresh

Very nice place, all foods are delicious, and coctails are the best

First visit here. The food is great, good size portions and the lunchtime menu is a bargain.

4 small chicken wings & 4 small lamp chops with a side salad & chips l. Hardly a mixed grill! Very disappointing especially for the price!

I can tell this is good quality food and would've been very nice, but it was late and freezing cold, they never read my special requests either, all in all its good, but if it's going to be freezing cold then why even bother?

They put yoghurt in a meal when specifically asked not too

Amazing food and very delicious 😋 It’s my favourite restaurant 😘❤️

Food was hot when arrived. All very tasty. The sautéed mushrooms were lovely.

Fantastic fresh and tasty food, I will definitely return when I'm next in Hereford

Food was excellent. Ordered a starter and a main, but so much turned up I couldn't eat it all in one go, so saving the rest for tomorrow's dinner!

Always great, always on time and always devoured.

Fantastic. Calamari best ever. Sea bass fresh and tasty. Kebab chicken and lamb incredible. Lovely atmosphere. Attentive staff and food arrived promptly. Cannot recommend more highly. We will be back. Worth every penny. 👍
