Istanbul Resturant in Coventry

I have been a long term fan of this restaurant but after today my opinion has completely changed… visiting with a group of friends a young lady began to take our order we ordered 2 king size chicken kebabs plain no salad and no chilli sauce due to allergies and dietary requirements… after 30 minutes our food is brought over and what a shock both have chilli sauce and salad we told them and they were abit reluctant to change but eventually they did… we then can see the staff member empty the chicken from the plate into a tray and begin to wash the chicken in the sink then proceed to reheat on the grill(I’m still shocked writing this as was the gentlemen sat on the table next to us) we called they staff member out on this and he straight away knew what he was doing was wrong… Guys if you value your health and well being please AVOID this restaurant as they are more bothered about a quick earner than the health and well being of Loyal customers

The food is outstanding and delicious and the staff is very friendly specially the Pakistani guy. Good services Must try this

Guys I would recommend you to try the mix doner. Very delicious n fresh. I would give a 5 stars.

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

Good ambience Excellent service Very tasty food

The food is exceptional. Really love it.. would go for 5 stars

Very nice, best kebabs in this area

I have been coming here for last 30 years. Amazing Food amazing service and a lovely restaurant at the back. I had the Chicken shish on Rice. Amazing 5*. Love it

Fantastic food very late at nice, wonderful kebabs.

Fantastic service, specially from Aiman, please do recognise his service

I’ve been coming to this restaurant over 15 years It’s the best Turkish restaurant in coventry . Staff is always kind

We realised that the time frame had expired so phoned the restaurant. Was given misleading info leading us to believe the food was on its way. After 3 further phone calls including speaking to the ‘manager’ the food eventually arrived cold and subsequently not the anticipated quality from Istanbul…£10 for a kebab!…I expect better

food was ok but took 30 mins extra than stated which wasn't good

We both spent the night on the toilet after eating here

Tony was really pleasant and welcoming.

It was delicious. Best Iskander Kebab in Coventry. Very friendly stuff. Thank you so much to all guys, especially to Pudja.

i phoned them because on app said delivery already. this is gasle information. im hlad they sort out so quickly . excellent service.

food was half hour late and turned up stone cold. only got 7 pounds back refund from 30 pounds.

Best kebab I've had. Not to expensive either

Very lovely staff especially Marouf, he gave me a free drink.

The best kebab in Coventry, lovely atmosphere, I do recommend to family and friends all the time, I have known (Istanbul Restuarant) for 30 years, Very friendly staff with a nice smile,

I am very happy with the food and service provided by the staff, amazing experience,

I recently dined at Istanbul Restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience! The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure we felt welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely delicious — my mixed kabab was bursting with authentic flavours. From the perfectly grilled kebabs to the creamy hummus and fresh bread, each bite was a treat. The portions were generous, and the presentation was stunning. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving a true taste of Turkey. I'll definitely be back!

So disapionting, this used to be one of the best burger stops in the city, 2 delivery times and still late, chicken was more like a wet sponge, fries were soggy and the burger was so full of fat it fell out the paper, and everything was cold.0/10.

Freshly cooked and presented beautifully most definitely recommend

The food and service was amazing

Have been coming to the Istanbul for many years, always 10/10 and a great set of lads serving.

The best Doner kebab and homemade chilli sauce in the UK!!

Food was really nice and flavourful

A cozy restaurant, very clean, fast and impeccable service, and very affordable prices for how consistent and delicious the portions are. I recommend!

Quality doner kebab must visit in Coventry

The food was just like in the pictures, amazing interior design. Loved ittt

Great quality traditional food, you can even eat in at the back in the restaurant. Been eating here for years, and I’ve no intention of going elsewhere.

loved the donerrrr, service 10/10

I had a wonderful day, I went for my birthday, thank you😁😁😁

Absolutely brilliant service as per usual. Lovely fresh food and excellent service as previously mentioned. 5 stars plus. Highly recommended.

Good quality Kebab home-made kebab you can’t beat it

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING DEFINITELY COMING HEERE AGAIN

Enjoyed an authentic taste of Turkey with flavorful dishes like juicy kebabs, tender lamb shish, and vibrant mezes. The warm ambiance and attentive staff create a welcoming experience, making it a top choice for a memorable meal and delicious, traditional Turkish food!

Food always cooked fresh and of good quality. Nice clean restaurant

Been coming here for years. Really good food, friendly service, easily cope with my slightly off menu needs. Busy and for a good reason.

This used to be the place for kebabs Not now sadly 😢

Delicious food and very friendly staff, we've been going here for 3 years now and never been let down by the food or service. 100% recommend.

Good size portions, fresh salads and chicken pieces were tender and very tasty. Felafal wrap I had for lunch at work the next day. The lakmajou was a good size and delicious. Could not fault any of the I ordered.

First time ordering and we were very impressed

second time and absolutely brilliant, thank you 👍

I had the pleasure of dining at Istanbul Restaurant recently, and I have to say their Chicken Kebab and Lamb Doner are simply outstanding!

Really good food! Taste amazing!

Perfection as always. The food here is constantly good, always arrives hot and freshly cooked. Definitely my favourite restaurant, never had a bad meal

Ayman, handsome guy with glasses, is so friendly and respectful. Pooja is lovely and cute, the others are amazing. Food is 10/10, favourite was mega mix kebab, worth every penny and must try.

Good food all cooked fresh which is hard to find in a takeaway these day :)

Food took a good hour to arrive and was just lukewarm when it finally turned up. Kebab was tasty but the chips soggy and cold, the salad was salad & the baklava was soggy and very, very oily. Disappointing, I used to love the Istanbul :(

Great food big portions defo us again

ordered for 6pm, said running late and would be with 6.25. Arrived at 7pm, cold, paid £30 for the privilege! 1 tray of salad between 2 people, 2 trays of kebab meat and 3 pittas,could have got for half the price at the chippy down the road. Asked for some money back and was told "no, sorry for being late, restaurant extremely busy"! Will not be ordering again, should have read other reviews first, and not ordered at all.

The food was great. I order regularly and know they are always very busy but when an item is missing why won't Just Eat compensate for it. I didn't ring because it was busy and thought I'd get compensation.

Always the best quality Doner meat 👌 but every now and again there seems to be a lack of Doner meat 🍖 and the sauce should come in a pot and not on the meat in the tray 🤔

The food was stone cold it’s one thing the Order arriving late but they couldn’t even provide me with hot food. It wasn’t even warm. All the driver could do wasapologise. The driver did not even offered to replace the food. I had to speak to the restaurant directly. , I know I don’t even get to eat with my family because I had to go work the food took so long to get here and then was cold absolutely going downhill this restaurant when I always ordered from here but the quality has declined

incredibile food as always. Always hot, fresh and amazingly tasty!! 100% recommend the Chicken Shish

I ordered a large doner kebab meal and medium Efes pizza. The service wasn’t very friendly at all. I didn’t mind waiting for the pizza, as I know it takes time, once it was ready I had to order doner kebab meal again as they had forgotten. There were 4 or 5 people behind the counter but they seemed much more focused on making the orders for delivery than me standing in front of them. Unfortunately once home, my husband found the kebab a total mess, inedible and cold. My pizza was also cold and not very nice at all either so it all went in the bin, total waste of money. If this had been an order on Uber eats or Deliveroo I would have got a full refund.

Love the food very delicious and tasty. People working there are very nice n friendly.

Had family around so I ordered the family special, for £40 and there was meat barely enough for two !! The food didn’t feel fresh the pitta bread was stale the only thing we enjoyed was the salad! Very disappointed.

Top notch ,love the food very tasty.

I paid £13.50 for a very bland Kebab the chicken was tasteless,the vegetables were soggy and this was at 3pm a very quite time on a Friday.I will never use this takeaway again

so fast with the orden, really great

food was nice but would have been better on time (hotter) and the sauce was delivered

Cold burnt pizza with rock hard edges requiring a chainsaw.

It is not Turkish lahmacun. It is something else. Pancake plus some weird mix. Dont order lahmacun. They are faking Turkish cousin I dont know why

Works well for busy day takeaways.

The kebab was cold and dry and lumpy last from the stew

Again, really great hot food a real treat. Beautifully wrapped in recyclable paper materials

always happy with Istanbul's food and speedy delivery.

Food excellent but paid for 1.5 litre cola for £4:50 and received 1.5 litre tango instead which was cheaper and no refund given to compensate

brilliant, just need 4 pittas not 3 in a family meal deal, again, other than that it was brilliant, definitely will order again 👍

Not as good as has been before. Pizza has no taste.

Decided to give them another chance and was even worse than last

So fresh. Good quality and super tasty. Highly recommended yummy!

Fantastic quality meat! Plentiful and hot!

Driver was incredibly polite, arrived right on time, and ensured everything was handled with care. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and exactly as described. We’ll be ordering again!

chicken was barely warm. not given the sauces ordered.

Great meal and packaging no plastic used ! Thank youb

Brilliant, gave complimentary food also. Highly recommended and will order again. Food was delicious.

food received was delicious. unfortunately they forgot to send any pitta for kebabs. so just meat and salad. they said they will discount next order so fingers crossed they do.

awful taste dry food nothing like the pictures

Order delivered is not complete items as ordered.Easy excuse given,Driver forgot to pick up. Might be counter assistant was taking a nap near oven and driver forgot to pick up complete order. Can you show this on CCTV ?

Beautiful food! Always my go to for a kebab. Authentic, fresh and so tasty!

Rude counter assistant staff .Need to be trained well (as per British standards).

Charged me for cheese on the burger and on the chips..... No cheese on burger... No cheese on chips.

Food was lovely, good value for money and huge portions

food is absolutely awesome. Never had a bad meal, the shish was cooked to perfection and tasted AMAZING!!

Very friendly and clean. Best doner!

Lamb special was amazing. The chaps are friendly

My favourite Kebab in Cov! Always fresh, tasty and warm.. recommend the mega mixed kebab 🙌🏻

Hi I’ve ordered a king size Doner kebab and the portion was really small. The portion of a king size was like a medium size in normal kebab shops take away. Anyway I went in and they had a change of staff not very welcoming and grumpy 😠. Don’t think I’ll go again

Fresh and well cooked and presented

Best kebabs in coventry by a mile old boy that serves on weekend evenings could cheer up a bit mind 😂

Food was very disappointing. Had 4 bites then threw it away. Never eating from that restaurant again.

I’ve ordered from here a lot but they always only send 4 Borek even if I order 8. Just eat always refund the difference but it’s a pain to have to do it every time.

This food was not edible absolutely disgusting I wouldn’t have gave it to an animal

food i good 👍...but dont leave plastic wrap in to the food 👎👎👎👎👎👎 not nice ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

Amazing food, friendly staff and great service. Best kebab shop in Coventry.
