Istanbul Restaurant in Swansea

Great meal. So delicious. Friendly staff. Absolutely stuffed! Thank you

Amazing food and customer service.

Highly Recommended Halal Turkish food.

Family get together. Fantastic evening.

Always first class food and service

Had an evening meal here and not a bad word to say about it. Lovely food and staff, will definitely be returning. We had cacik, hummus and filo to start and then a lamb shish and mixed grill for mains

This place is quite a surprise the food is genuinely outstanding along with the service - it was a great find and they will cook you anything. The flavours quality choice and presentation was faultless. Nothing was too much trouble, not many restaurants like this one in swansea. Great night.

Excellent restaurant. Great food. Friendly staff. Meals all reasonably priced. Efes Pils for £3.50. Had the Kasarli Chicken which was delicious. Easy walk from centre of Swansea. Love Turkish food and have eaten in many Turkish restaurants inside and outside Turkey and this is fabulous. We plan to make this a regular haunt on visits to Swansea.

Food was spot on, service was above and beyond and the atmosphere was lovely. Will definitely come again when we're back in Swansea.

Great food and excellent value! Would really recommend the platter for 2, which is a bit of everything or for those who can't make up their mind

Great lamb soup and authentic atmosphere. I cant wait to go back.

It's ok but now amazing. Need new chairs and tables. Toilets nice and clean.

Good food and atmosphere. The only slight negative was the length of time between the starter and main course. Although, I was part of a large family gathering, celebrating a 'wedding anniversary'. Aside from the service, I would return to Istanbul because the food was very good.

Food was OK. Meat Platers is mainly rice and place the meat over the rice so it looks more than it is. Pricy at £20.00. But not as Pricy as the drinks. £6 for a bottle of beer 50ml. vodka and coke £5.50. Coke was from a can. They put half the coke in the glass. If you wanted the full can was a extra £2.00 so effectively £3.50 for a can of coke which woild have made vodka and coke £7.50. We pre orderd over a week ago as there were 30 people attending. By the time we had our order everyone else had finished their food. Will never go back to this place again. Poor service. Expensive for everything no sauce for the meat so very dry eating experience. Cannot recommend this place

Great food and hospitable, warm people!

I had a lamb iskender and it was amazing.

Birthday meal celebration for my Mum. Quiet evening and wasn’t sure if I had to book as it was midweek. We were the only ones dining. No frills food but really enjoyed. The liver starter was different and particularly enjoyed.

Wonderful flavoursome food and attention to detail

Mostly grilled meat - lamb and chicken chops/wings and kebabs. Well-sized portion sizes, friendly staff, quick service and good food. It is maybe a little bit pricier (around £20 pp for a grilled meat dish) than other places in the area but this is understandable because after all it is grilled meat.

The service is fast and great and the food is delicious

Great food and service. The bread and humous was really fresh and the lamb was succulent. I would eat there again.

Very good customer service and very polite and friendly. Food was very nice and tasty as well would definitely recommend. If I pass through Swansea again will definitely pay a visit.

The food here was absolutely outstanding , service and atmosphere . The mixed grill for 2 with salad and meze starter was delicious, we ended up taking the rest home as we was full . Will be definitely coming back with my husband. Wonderful

My wife and I dropped by a February Friday just after 18.00. We're both talkers and the space and low noise levels made our visit just the kind we like. We like to eat out and will add this restaurant to our rota. I felt authenticity. Things were professional but they were therefore relaxed and pleasant. At our ages, 65+, we are not the biggest of eaters, so doggy bags are usual with us. That all worked fine for us.

Great friendly staff, food is delicious, definitely recommend this great Turkish restaurant

Great food at appropriate prices. Come here for a genuine Turkish Food Experience. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Food was lovely, all freshly cooked and service was 100%. Lots of choice, we had starters and mains and all enjoyed their choices. Drinks were available and not over priced. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food. Overall it was a very pleasurable experience and we would definitely go again.

Amazing Turkish food. Chef is amazing. You can feel the Turkish local restaurant vibe. We enjoyed it a lot. Friendly cafe.

Fantastic place always nice food there

Another great meal at Istanbul as always!

Fantastic meal tonight. We had the mixed meat platter for £40 which included starters, bread, rice and salads - great value. Service was excellent too! Thanks!

Great ambiance, tasty vegen options..

The lunch time special is three courses for £12.50. The food was tasty and well cooked.

Might from the outside look a tad gloomy, but as the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. This is an excellent find . Had 3 hot Meze between the 2 of us. Everything made and cooked on the premises, including the bread. Main courses, one lamb and a chicken - meat tender ,not fatty, extremely tasty. Been to Turkish restaurants in London and travelled to Turkey almost 50 times. Definitely up there with the best. Happy to recommend.

Went here with a group of Turkish friends who recommended it. It was very clear why they love this restaurant. Very warm welcome, very efficient service. Had a meze platter then Imam Bayaldi. The bread was amazing. Everything was fresh, beautifully cooked and presented. The meals had lots of ingredients so were appetising. Generous reasonably priced portions. Clean with a good atmosphere. Very authentic. Looking forward to visiting again.

Lovely food and very friendly staff! Amazing place for dinner! Highly recommended it!

This restaurant has become our favourite place to eat! Outstanding food! Outstanding service! Very welcoming and friendly. And also very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Visited from Birmingham, some of the best food I’ve had in a long while & excellent service too! We had the mixed platter for 2, we will definitely be back next time we are in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Delicious food. Friendly staff and a cosy restaurant.

Small plates very expensive and horrible service

I have been here multiple times. The staff are really friendly and always on the ball for drinks etc. Food is simply put outstanding. Well priced and excellent quality.

The 3 course meal deal was really good. A must visit restaurant in Swansea.

Omg. ordered the taste of turkey meal for 3 for my daughter's birthday meal. Absolutely delicious. Loads of flavour and freshly made. Definitely be calling again.

Visited for my birthday and was not disappointed. We shared the meze platter, then I had Imam Bayaldi and my husband had Iskender Kebab. This was our first visit but we will definitely back, and soon, because the food is beautifully cooked, delicious and sensibly priced. What a find!

Дуже добрий заклад, атмосферний і з найсмачнішою іжою, всім рекомендую цей заклад)

Super delicious and lovely staff

First time for us and it will not be the last. All 8 of us were more than happy with the food and enjoyed seeing it cooked on the grill. Service and food excellent.

Fabulous food great service and the best red wine.

Great ambience, excellent food and exceptional service! Would definitely recommend!

Exquisite food, generous portions. Owner was so kind and friendly. Will be returning again next time I'm in Swansea.

Excellent food, plenty of it, and really nice staff

Authentic food, lovely service. Thank you .

Unreal. Like Italian food, just better.

Great choice of food . Service really good . Enjoyed . Something for everyone.

At the utmost respectful, with quality food and sound service, went with my mother and all aspects of food and service were answered above par in tandem. Would highly recommend for all, especially for dates, as the atmosphere would provide a lovely environment with excellent turkish cuisine. Til the next time, much gratitude!

2nd visit. Food is always terrific...

Thoroughly enjoyable Turkish food, the lamb shish was superb. Not the cheapest option around but the quality and service cannot be faulted.

Excellent experience loved the food

Food was lovely meatball starter ,turkish mixed grill for mains and a couple of effes ,service was great really friendly ,nice atmosphere would recommend

Food is stunning, definitely a taste of one of my favourite countries food. Very friendly owner too.

Wonderful food that tasted so good I felt I was in Turkey.

The food and service here was amazing. We had the meat platter which was the best I've ever had at a Turkish restaurant. The waiter and owner were so personable and friendly, and the value for money was amazing. Can't rate this place highly enough.

After visiting Turkey I fell in love with Turkish food. This restaurant is authentic, providing tasty well cooked food and great service.

You can find real Turkish cuisine and taste here.

Super Rastauracja.🙂 Bardzo dobre jedzenie😋oraz Miła obsługa,polecam.

Perfect food and service, thanks for stoning food :)

This place is amazing, please try it , you wouldn’t regret it🌹🙏

We were a group of 13, and this place looked after us very well! The mixed grill meat & fish platters were large and very tasty, as were the vegetarian dishes. I would certainly visit again in the future.

Visited this evening and the food was amazing, tasty and beautifully cooked. The service was outstanding considering that the waiter was on his own, efficient and friendly. Have been before but will certainly be returning.

Had a meal with friends here last week, staff are amazing nothing is too much trouble and food is delicious, I had my first cup of Turkish tea and some baklava and it was stunning. Would highly recommend first class

Fantastic food, lovely clean establishment and the staff are very attentive, would recommend this place to everyone, good job guys!!!

Always a great meal with harry.let him guide you with the menu.he knows his stuff. 5 star

the food was amazing. absolutely recommend, lovely service, lovely declr and the environment is just so welcoming. really reminds me of when i was at turkey. very very nice. the toilets are also clean which makes me satisfied. thank you!!!

Just left the Istanbul 13/8. Taste buds fully satisfied. Out of the way gem. Authentic Turkish restaurant. Arrived to a warm welcome from Sam, like family but our first time. Excellent attentive friendly service also from Sam. Food was hot and delicious very flavourful also...

We are regulars at this restaurant and it never disappoints! Food is always fresh, plentiful and flavoursome! We’ve started taking our 3 year old and he loves the food! The iskender kebab is my favourite! Highly highly recommend, a hidden gem in Swansea!

Gorgeous food and lovely staff. Very pleasant atmosphere and absolutely spotless

Ordered platter for 3 Perfect BBQ, friendly staff, fast service , delicious starter however a bit expensive. I like it.

A cozy place to dine with high quality Turkish food. I really enjoyed my meal. The owner of the restaurant was so caring, kind and affectionate. The day I went there I was so sad because of losing my cat and the owner noticed and tried to sympathize with me and gave us some beer and dessert on the house.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon for dinner with some friends. Food was very tasty and all cooked well. Catered to everyone’s needs of vegetarian/fish/meat. Brilliant customer service. Will be back.

The food was amazing and the welcome was warm. Having been to many turkish restaurants Istanbul rates up there with the best.

This restaurant serves the best Turkish food in Swansea! We recently had the mixed grill for two people, coban salad, kisir, hummus, cacik and fresh bread. We also had dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were very generous. Can’t recommend this place...

This was our first visit back since Christmas 2019. Nothing had changed, the welcome was just as warm, the food was excellent, the lunchtime menu is probably the best value I have seen anywhere and just to reiterate the quality and authenticity of the food...

Very nice place ,, welcoming and excellent service. The food quality is also very high. Loved the place and staff . Used to have a take away which was good ,, but first time dining in and was excellent

We've been there three times now and every single time the food has been fantastic the service has been fantastic and really interesting choices on the menu. This place really is a hidden gem!

The portions were very small for the amount paid. I feel when a meat dish is far more than rice portion on the small plate thwy are getting ride of older food. Company was fantastic i was with due to the amount spent. The social made up for the food shortfall however i must say i did enjoy the food, not the portion given for the amount spent.

stunning tasty food, very clean.

We got the platter for 2 for my birthday - very friendly owner and very very tasty food! The Baklava is the best I have ever had! We will definitely order from here again!

This place is very nice. The food is amazing !! The service was amazing and the owner was very friendly. I'm from the U. S. And felt this was the best place I've eaten at so far. The owner even introduced me to his brother who lives in New York , who also owns a good restaurant. I will try that restaurant as well. Wales is so nice and the people are lovely.

Excellent customer service Thanks

Food and service was amazing. First time I've visited, will definitely be back.

Harry and his staff go above and beyond with thier care and attention to both thier food and the service. The warmest of atmospheres with gorgeous fresh food to make a really nice evening for all the family. Thanks Harry!
