Istanbul Resturant in Coventry

The guys at Istanbul are just great! The chilli sauce is absolutely amazing, and the homemade lamb doner is top quality. The salad is a delicious mix of leafy greens and satisfying crunch—always fresh and well-balanced. I usually go for the Chicken Special and the Mega Burger, and most of the time, it’s been an excellent experience. On the rare occasion there’s been a hiccup, the team has been quick to put things right and even offer compensation. That level of customer service really stands out and gives me confidence every time I order. Top marks for great food and genuine care—these guys keep me coming back! Thanks Tanner and the rest of the staff!

Especially poojas customer service was top notch.

Food was fantastic and great staff.

I have been going here for twenty years, always impeccably presented and really taste meal made with quality ingredients.

Perfect place to taste turkish food

Very good, moderately priced food. Simple relaxed dining with helpful pleasant service.

Very delicious, I recommend you to come

Istanbul Restaurant is a wonderful place to eat. The food is full of rich Turkish flavour, especially the kebabs and fresh bread. Everything tastes homemade and is served hot. The staff are very kind and make you feel at home. The restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated with a warm, welcoming feel. It’s a great spot to enjoy a tasty meal with family or friends. I highly recommend it!

Food is discussing customer service is bad asked for separate not together and didn’t listen to word said waste of money would rather eat nothing waste money wouldn’t recommend

Doner was no good. We had a lot of bone pieces in it and lost our appetite at all. It was so difficult to eat doner as we needed to be careful not to break our teeth or swallow bones. I wish we ordered anything else NOT Doner

A Hidden Gem for Authentic Turkish Flavors in Coventry! We had a fantastic experience at Istanbul Restaurant in Coventry! The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere made it perfect for a relaxed evening. The mixed grill platters were delicious—tender lamb chops, juicy chicken shish, and flavorful köfte, all grilled perfectly. The fries, flatbread, and onion salad made it even better. We loved the generous portions and the amazing variety of sauces, especially the spicy tomato and cool yogurt. The cheese pide was golden and gooey, and the Ezme salad was a standout—fresh and full of flavor. If you’re after authentic Turkish food in Coventry, this place is a must. We’ll definitely be back!🤍👌✌️

Nice place to experience row taste of meat. We ordered mixed kebab, lamb chops and doner meat. Most of the mains comes with salads and choice of rice or chips. Good quantity. Lamb chops: medium cooked, no ingredients tasted in it. I would like to have it with a pinch of salt,pepper and a small shot of herbs. Skewers were good. Rice was flavoured and good quantity. Will visit again and recommend to everyone who like authentic taste. NB : not for spice or masala lovers.

This used to be the best Kebab House in the Midlands, it's gone right downhill. The quality of the meat is not there, just had a bone dry kebab and donner, looked like it had been hacked off the donner with an axe. Blowing nose in kitchen, cleaning grill with printed (ink) food paper. Just no pride in it, no love. A shame to see. From a loyal customer of 25 years, at least I'm honest.

Very good food very beautiful service🥰

Speedy service! Good food and good atmosphere

Amazing place. First time visiting and I enjoyed every bit of it. Fantastic staff too

Chicken not cooked properly, will not be ordering again

Had a nice dinner at Istanbul restaurant.The food was tasty and fresh. I had the lamb shish—really tender and full of flavor. The meze platter was a great starter, and the baklava at the end was sweet and delicious. Service was friendly and fast. Prices were reasonable. Overall, a good spot for Turkish food. Would eat there again.

Unbelievably good. Food arrived quickly, was hot and extremely tasty. Never had a bad meal

Had a mega mix kebab. This is the best kebab shop in the whole of Coventry cannot fault their work and quality of service have eaten in and take away and their food is always absolutely delicious and has been for the last 25 years and counting keep up the brilliant work guys (and girls) highly recommended 10 stars

Quick Delivery and perfect service very tasty food 😋

The food was tasty and service was good Thank you

Really lovely and would 100% recommend. Only downside is that there was a hair in my lamb donor meat..which i realised right at the end of finished my plate, so I left a bit of meat because I was slightly put of. If it wasn’t for that, I’d put 5 stars. Overall restaurant looks beautiful and very clean. Really friendly staff. Thank you 🙏

Great food, very fresh and tasty!

Had an amazing burger which included sliced Lamb Doner. Was homemade Lamb doner. WaW amazing. Lovely customer service.

Food was bang on as always, highly recommend staff are always friendly and food is always top notch

Food was well worth the wait, piping hot and the kebab was so tasty.

Some chill vibes and good food the sauces was nice too

don't want refund I only like onions and tomatoes on kebab like I ordered also the falafel wrap was cold and borek were cold hard and greasy

Brilliant service, food was immaculate.

Delicious meal and lovely service !

Food arrived stone cold, chips were rock solid, went in the bin

Loved it! The food is awesome and flavoursome. The service is customer centred, very kind and polite. Best fries I’ve ever had. Thanks so much 🥰

Apoosha was a very good server and food was nice

Food was glorious as always.... love when the donner is cooked fresh

Absolutely fabulous We have been coming for a long time and drive a long way The food is fresh hot n delicious Only thing is that I would love to know the secret recipe of the hot sauce

lovely food generous portions to much for me but enjoyed every bite, top quality 😊

I absolutely love the kebab, its full of flavour.

Great service on time and lovely food

Had an amazing experience. The staff was super kind and accommodated all our dietary requests. Highly recommend and will definitely come back when in town ☺️

Best kebab in Coventry. Amazing friendly staff. The staff pooja helped me greatly amd and understood my custom order and preference. Was very patient while my payment got delayed as well. Tasty food. Will recommend strongly.

food cold and told 45 minutes delivery then added another 45 delivery time on then didn't turn up till over 2 hrs over ordering time rubbish customer service wasn't bothered

After being a customer for over 20 years, I have to say, istanbul has really gone downhill. This is not a cheap place to eat but it seems the staff scrimp and possibly weigh your food😆 petty. Probably something to do with 5 people just behind the counter, they need every penny. I for 1 will not be coming back anymore.

Food was fantastic, delivery was late due to the road closed outside but the delivery driver was brilliant in dumping his car and walking over to deliver the order

Did not arribe been calling the restaurant over 6 times

The kebab meat was just old scrappy dry bits very disappointing and unappetising

Overall food was okey but chicken kebab was a little bit dry, and it’s a little bit pricey for this quality.

Terrible, standards have gone to 0 over recent years, bought a doner was all chunks, cold & tasteless after repeatedly asking in regards to the freshness. Terrible quality food & service

Food ok, but delivery stated 45 minutes and took just over a hour and a half.

Food is average and it’s never on time. Consistently lied about delivery.

Had lunch at this restaurant not too long ago, it was great service and of course very tasty food) Thank you)

Delivery driver opened my front door and gave cold food. Very unhappy with this service

Great food came early all round great service as always

It took the driver over 40 minutes to get to our house when it is a ten minute drive. They obviously do multiple drops. Food was stone cold.

Food was outstanding. Service was great highly recommended 💕💕👌

No chilli sauce best part of meal !!!!!!!!!!!!

all good apart from plain burger came as chesse burger.

Got takeaway, only got half the goods. No garlic sauce no extra pitta bread. Not happy. Avoid

Fresh lamb and chicken kebabs with homemade chilli sauce. Perfect Turkish food with excellent service and a lovely hidden away dine in option.

Banging food , Banging service and Pooja was really nice - definitely coming again!

I placed an order for 2x chicken and rice with a portion of chips. Nice simple order so was it we had to wait nearly 2 hours for our not sure if it was the restaurant or the uber delivery service.

Foods was fab. im so disappointed miss one order 8pcs Halloumi cheese

What an amazing meal. Great thankyou

2 hours late and freezing cold :( use to be the best food.. just not the same anymore.

Food item missing - entire main meal. Delivery driver was on our road but couldn’t find the house as he wouldn’t listen to me or look at house numbers, just kept referring back to Google maps. Food was OK but nothing amazing.

Delivery was late food was cold and restaurant didn’t get back to me .. going very down hill

Istanbul used to be really tasty, it was really bland today and not what it usually is. Delivered in good time as usual.

Great place, amazing hospitality and food!

Food is excellent...never been disappointed.

There was a bit of an issue with finding my address but when he found it he was friendly and the food was very nice . Will definitely order again

First time using, great tasting food and really enjoyable

taste and temperature was great and delivery was early however i ordered the mega mixed grill meal which stated large chips on the description and they never arrived with my meal

The food is lovely. It's definitely not £10.90s worth though. The Kebab meat and chips I had. The chips are fries. So it's basically half what you used to get but the same price. It's happening everywhere. Save your money.

Good service and mixed donner was nice.

Could have been a decent meal but took off a star because they did not put my sauces in as requested (chili, mayo and garlic mayo) ruined the meal.

Ordered a takeaway meat was so chewy and fatty was really cold for the price not worth it

Fantastic service from Maroof, he was welcoming and made our food to perfection. Will definitely be making this our regular.

We came with a group of friends and had an amazing experience. The food was amazing, and the service was very fast.

Food is delicious 10/10, portions are really good and probably the best kebab meat out there 👍 Would highly recommend!

We went in with a group of family members (4-5 tables put together) and the place was set up beautifully. We had a variety of cold starters, going all along the table, the food kebab mix was delicious. My nephew wanted nuggets and chips and they were happy to assist and support. I really loved the service and the food. Thank you for an amazing evening and would definitely recommend.

absolutely rubbish very disappointed in the food won't be using the services again 😒

use to be the best kebab house in the city, now it's poor.

also when I ordered the driver forgot to take the cash (okay simple mistake). when he rang over an hour later after receiving the order we was all already in bed (11.30pm) I spoke to him and said I would be at the store at opening to pay for it as we are all now in bed. he comes to my door around 20mins later waking me up. also my ezme was missing

The best burger in Coventry without a doubt, Thank you so much as always, ten gold stars

FOOD WAS HORRIBLE TODAY AND UNCOOKED. NOT NICE AT ALL AND NO FLAVOUR. MEAT SMELT HORRIBLE AND ALL WENT IN THE BIN

Very nice and wonderful taste, worth buying, very fast and elegant delivery service, I ordered twice from them in one night because my brother liked the taste and wanted me to order for him as well! Thank you very much for the very delicious dinner

The delivery had a cherry cola drink missing

Beautiful food will order again

Delivery actually had the audacity to not even ring my door bell or ring but left the food outside on the wet floor

I've been going here for years, always lush food, really nicely presented and tastes great.

kebabs were stone cold and rubbery when it arrived

Food hasn’t arrived, been waiting more than 1 hour.

incredibile food, Shish was cooked to perfection, and as requested. Freshly cooked and so full of flavour, Donor meat was delicious. Portion size is really good, 👌. Can't fault it, definitely the best restaurant takeaway in town!! Thanks for the little gift 🎁, really appreciated x

Love the food . I am a regular customer since 2001. Really love it. I would recommend you to try it at least once

Very nice, best kebabs in this area

Outstanding as always, best food, always cooked to perfection, fresh, hot and tasty. The chilli sauce is so addictive!!
