Istanbul Shawarma in Bolton

Istanbul Shawarma in Bolton is a fantastic spot for anyone craving authentic and flavorful shawarma. I’ve ordered from them a couple of times, and they never disappoint. The shawarma is packed with juicy, well-seasoned meat and fresh veggies, all wrapped up perfectly. What really stands out is the portion size—you get plenty of food for the price, making it great value for money. Their sauces are spot on, adding just the right kick to the meal. The staff are friendly and the service is quick, even during busy hours. If you’re a shawarma fan or just looking to try something new, Istanbul Shawarma is definitely worth a visit.

Always come to this place when in Bolton fantastic food all the way from Chorley

The best shawarma!! Very generous and great service , An Underrated gem❤️

Great takeaway shop. Good shawarmas and well cooked. Best takeaway shop in the area.

The best shawarmas and Lovely fresh salad every time

Service is bad, I’ve seen them be really rude to customers for no reason. They need to remember that they are spending their wages in your establishment. You also need to check your change, especially if they run off after giving your change. Out of five times, they have short changed me three times…obviously I corrected them…but it’s too often for it to be an accident. I even said to my mate…’watch this’ …you can guess what happened…change was short. Despite that, food is good.

One of the best shawarmas I've ever had, especially considering the price. Do note though that they only accept cash.

best shawarma east of jerusalem

Good quality food at very low prices.

Been to Istanbul, nothing better than this place

Great service and great food I recommend it to everyone

First time I been here very tasty shawarma and pizza

Has to be the best swarma place in bolton

Has to be the best swarma place in bolton

First of all, these people as for cash. I really don’t know why and they are very rude when you ask them for machine. They said to a customer once “didn’t you read ‘Cash Only’ written?” I spoke for that guy. God knows if these people are on visa or not. These small shacks do not have any hygiene too. They are sweating and rub their hands on their faces and then on clothes.

Food is tasty! you have 2 choices whether you want it in a plate with bread or just in a wrap. the staff are super friendly price is cheap for what you get. It is often busy but they have 2 floors so you can sit upstairs if there is no room downstairs. Only the restaurant needs more decorative items. but other than that it's good!

Great service and friendly staff

I've been missing this sort of kebab for years, and didn't actually know you can get instabul shawarma around bury-bolton area. Right, to the point. Chicken shawarma tastes great here, fresh ingredients, good price for value you're getting. I've been coming back and I will be.

Food is alright, but it's not mind blowing.

The best chicken kebab I’ve ever had. From outside this just looks like any other kebab place, but that couldn’t be more wrong. It’s always very busy from what I’m guessing, and difficult to get hold of the elusive lamb (it’s our personal mission to come at a time when it’s available) Lots of people working on counter, but very efficiently. Meat cooked to perfection, salad so fresh and tasty, fresh breads and again the best hummus I’ve had. Prices more than reasonable! It’s a solid 11/10 from us and we won’t be going anywhere else for our kebabs. Also nice little sitting area. Looking forward to trying the pizzas and every single thing else on the menu. Honestly amazing food, so happy I’ve finally found my regular kebab place in manchester. Will be seeing you again soon no doubt about it 🤌🏼🙌🏼

In short: This is genuinely the best kebab spot in Greater Manchester. You can have their kebabs as a healthy, nutritious meal at any point of the day. The meat is real meat, very well marinated and grilled just right, the portion in either the wrap or the sandwich is excellent. The choice of fresh salad, including lettuce, mix of chopped cucumber and tomato with herbs, onions, olives, jalapeños and red cabbage is excellent. Sauces are absolutely delicious. You could say everything is the star of a show, but how many small kebab places have you been to, that do their own bread? The bread used for their wraps and sandwiches is made on the spot in the tandoor and the oven. This is honestly some of the best kebab bread I’ve ever had. They also do their own hummus, which is excellent and you can get a big tub of for £2,50. After having a meal there you feel as if you’re doing your body a favour, rather than a guilty pleasure. All of above with prices that are absolutely on point, means that this has become my go to for kebabs. It almost pains me to write such a glowing review, as the place is plenty busy already, but if you are ever on the area and like good food, you must come here. PS. If you like lamb you might want to get there before 4pm, as it might be gone by 5.

The staff is very friendly and the Falafel were hot crispy and fresh.i highly recommend this restaurant

Very busy place which serves big portions on demand

Always great consistent taste. Honest about wait times. They forgot my naan which was frustrating as I had to drive all the way back.

Always great tasting shawarmas and friendly staff. High turnover of food, so it's always fresh.

Food honestly amazing, staff very friendly and atmosphere is great. 100% recommend chicken fatayer just right portion size to fill you up and is absoloutely perfect.

I loved it it is the best Shawarma I have ever had only downside is that it’s a bit dirty on the floor and table

Service is not good at all. I ordered 1 small chips. After waiting 15mins, I asked them for my order and they said, they forgot about my order

Ordered from here for lunch with colleagues. Served without any problems. Food was hot and tasty.

Staff are really nice made it really easy to order. Lovely and clean. Food wasn’t greasy or sloppy. They even reminded me not to park on the double yellows. Definitely be ordering again and I’m not surprised they are busy. Rare find these days. Keep up the good work!

These guys deserve every praise they can get, best customer service, such value for money and the taste never seem to disappoint, tender juicy shawarma you will never find like this one anywhere in the uk.

Unfortunately my opinion of the place has changed. Smaller potions. And poor service.

Good taste and good value of money.

Best shawarma platter and Hummus around. Huge portions and reasonable prices.

Never let you down. Gotta get that double meat

Taste good staff good busy all the time

Good taste shawarma,a bit pricey, great for takeaway only

Brilliant place. Absolutely delicious food and good value for money. Will definitely be back.

The food was decent after manager forgot my order. It is tasty but not spectacular as say others in Bolton. I ordered a kobeda on naan and was ok but not to return back any time soon.

One of the best shawarma that I had and I am very picky

If you don't want very heavy food, this is some good filling food place. I would definitely recommend the garlic bread with cheese and the hummus. The rest of the food is amazing too. Quick and friendly service with hot food as in temperature. Staff always smiling and happy to help. Family friendly too. Hope this helps. Thanks. £ £ - Good Value For Money. ££ - Reasonable. £££ - Extra. ££££ - Inflated.

I went there to get the Fataya and it was amazing honestly. I would definitely recommend if you're thinking about going

Good tasty food and quick service

One of the best shawarma in Bolton.

Very good food! Fresh and delicious!

My favourite shawarma restaurant .. take out and dine in available

Very expensive, they keep increasing their prices every time for no reason, been going to them for a long time so I know them and their menu and prices, they have increased the prices and decreased the amount of food served. Usually they miss half of the order. And in the food that is received, its uncooked and smelly and unhealthy and unhygienic. Hair in the food, meat is raw and vegetables smell off. Not happy at all with neither the food, price or service

Great place, seems clean and the staff is friendly. If you are looking a good wrap this is your place.

Healthy salad and meat in a shawarma.. flavourful and good in quantity too. This place had a long queue, I think it's a popular place

Best Lamb Shawarma in the whole Country honestly God! Trust me I have tried so many places in the whole country and even that I don’t live in Bolton I would just go over there to eat it! Absolutely Banging! The best I’ve ever ate in my life !!! Fresh food very clean place , friendly staff affordable prices it’s just a shame that after 4 o clock the lamb runs out but all the food there honestly God amazing and so tasty!! Best Lamb and the best Hummus!!

Quick bite to eat for lunch, ordered a lovely chicken shawarma wrap, tasted fresh and flavoursome. Beware of the chilli sauce they use it is very hot. Enjoyed the food and would go again.

Food is good when you taking out but not when you eating, if you go upstairs then the tables are dirty there and so many fly there

Had a chicken shawarma with chips and their garlic and chilli sauce. Absolutely delicious, definitely going again.

Best falafel wrap and hummus ever. Super fast service. Can also eat in.

Always the best and freshest Chicken Shawarma. Nothing beats this place when it comes to the taste of the Shawarma

This place is absolutely amazing, always best quality and fresh food , Price is cheap but food Number 1 . Highly recommended to try

great shawarma very tasty staff warm and friendly definately return when in the area.good value for money

GoodserviceGoodstaffGoodexcellent

Shawarmas are always nice, portions have gone a little smaller and prices have gone up.

Delicious lamb meat and not overpriced as other restaurants.

Don’t rely on their word. They want you to stay upstairs and then forget your plate. And then act like nothing happened. Dodgy place.

If the guy told you to wait upstairs, don't trust him till you get your food. They forget you anyway.

Highly recommended..delicious food and excellent services..👏🏻

Very rude staff trying to steal your change every time but very nice food! Allways check your food before leaving the takeaway, items you paid for might be missing!

It’s a good experience with istanbul shawarma I ordered 3 chicken shawarma platter Platter served with fresh salad & juicy chicken plus naan.

The best swharma about excellent salad range nice staff

Can’t complain it’s the best kebab shop in Bolton

Have been here and the food was so tasty will be going again 😋

Very good shawarma excellent clean place delicious shawarma love it

Chicken shawarma is the bomb .. very fair price at £3.80

Hands down the tastiest shawarma I’ve had in Bolton. Food is always fresh, well seasoned and cooked well. The closest you can get to perfection. The food is reasonably priced so decent value for money. However sometimes the sandwiches/wraps are filled with salad and very little meat also it gets quite busy so might wait a little while till you get your food, other than that everything is goood!

Thank you for an amazing service guys!

The food is great and at affordable price

I love Bolton and the chiken kebab 😘❤

Poor service , less respect to customer , They don't make ready phone orders , I will not recommend

Chicken shawarma had a unique taste...

What can I say, brilliant food. Brilliant service. Honestly the tastiest thing after a long day. The lads working there have brilliant customer service skills. So fast! Like, they work rapid. Love this place. 5 stars definitely!

Whenever I am in Bolton with my girlfriend she always says to come back to Istanbul Shawarma. Big portions tasty kebab and fresh. Great value for money.

Chicken shawarma with all salad and spicy sauce. Highly recommended.

Definitely recommend mixed lamb and chicken shawarma was amazing ! Friendly staff too! Will definitely be back!

For the price you can't go wrong here. Get the chicken shawarma sandwich. It's not your usual shawarma wrap, it's a unique style of bread which is very soft and really nice. They pack a lot of salad in there too. Only issue is the chicken is a little cold. Otherwise, taste is great.

Actually this place seems not owned by Turkish people, despite the name "Istanbul". Cheap menu. Nice dining hall at the upstairs. Unfortunately döner, they call shawarma, and fataya is not delicious. Staff were kind.

Didn't have lots on the menu and the portion size was relatively small.

The food is really good but they are very dirty and they all touch food and money with no safety measures at all. Been there several times and they alway made feel unwanted. Stay away if you are a european male.

It's a best Shawarma place in Bolton. It might not be a very hygienic take away but value for money. I would recommend 'Chicken Shawarma Wrap' from here. Its a live preparation so you know what they are stuffing and what you are taking.

Itt lehet a legjobb szendwichet kapni pörkölt birka vagy baromfibol . Török tipusu izlesités és füszerezés. Kevés ihelyen lehet ilyen jó kaját kapni .

Absolute shocking customer service! One of the worst places I've been to for shawarma. It was my first time going and I saw all the positive reviews, so was hoping for something decent. Ordered the food, all the guys were just stood around laughing and chatting, I was stood there ages waiting, when there was noone else even there! Then someone came in after me, ordered, got his food and left and I was still waiting! All I ordered was a tray of shawarma and chips. When I asked him about it, he tried to crack a joke. Jokes on you pal, won't be recommending this to anyone else, unless it's just to give you a one star rating 🤷🏻‍♂️

Amazing food absolutely enjoyed it definitely need to visit

My son and me have visited a few times. Quick, tasty food at a cracking price...naans and pitta breads made fresh in a clay oven. Always super busy, no wonder. Best to go early if you want the lamb as it sells out quickly.

Good shawarma when it is not too fat

Delicious chicken shawarma and the bread is equally good. Only reason I’ve given 4 stars is I’ve never managed to get lamb shawarma. Apparently it sells out very early in the day. If you’re reading this guys - how about making more lamb shawarma?! Apart from that, excellent food.

Really nice place and amazing food need bit less oily stuff on piza but rest is all good loved it there

Great food and service. Will call again

Top notch grub from here every time

Simply the best with fresh ingredients made daily

Food was served fresh and hot and fast freindly service

I would say this place does really great chicken Shawarma in Bolton. It has authentic Turkish/Kurdish taste which is unique.

I used to love this place but the last few times they have served meat that has just been sat there. Each time the shawarma wrap was dripping with grease. When asked if I wanted sauce I opted for hummus, and got about a teaspoon full at one end.

Nice food, good salads, good people who run it.
