I have ordered from here on two occasions now recently and cannot fault the service or quality of the food I have received. Even though I have ordered takeaways on both occasions they have always been attentive and made me feel at home whilst waiting for my food by offering free tea, which was really tasty. My biggest regret is that I did not order here before. I highly recommend thus establishment.

Went for a pre theatre dinner and were warmly welcomed. We were given some complimentary cold mezes, some baclavas and some Turkish tea/coffee. The food was generous and very tasty. When coming back to the theatre will definitely come back to this welcoming restaurant.

I visited for a takeaway. The hospitality while I waited was 2 d to none with a free drink. I ordered a Chicken sish and chicken wings and both came with rice, flat bread, mixed salad and other condiments.... the food was excellent. The salsa and Humous is the best I've tasted. I will definitely be going back to eat in the restaurant....

Took 1 hour and 45 minutes for my delivery of 1 dish. Food was due 13:55 and arrived at 14:50. When I called to query where my food was, I was told rudely "I've sent the food, what do you want me to do?" When I suggested they call the driver and see where they are and how long it would be, I was told 5 minutes, which actually turned out to be 35 minutes. They also stopped answering my calls. To top it off, food was not even lukewarm when it arrived, the bread was clearly recycled stale bread as as soon as it touched the air, it turned into a chewy cracker, and the ribs/rice had barely any flavour, I had to add my own salt. Only decent thing was a miniscule pot of salad. I ordered from elsewhere afterwards and received it before this original order! Appalling service and sub-par food.

The Perfect Hosts, With The Perfect Food! Sunday evening, before a show at the Palace Theatre. It was quiet inside, but the welcome was warm! We had two mains, and a baklava takeaway. The ingredients were fresh, plentiful and the dishes explained. When we got home, we had extra baklava in our dish! Its clear they enjoy pleasing people, and they do it very well! Definitely going to return!

Sadly the hot starter was not worth the money for a tiny portion size and the food was soggy from being served on top of a large portion of rice- ideally should be in separate containers. The chicken/lamb shish combo was 85% chicken and a few small bits of lamb. Salad was good, loads of rice but overall the taste wasn’t great.

Tonight was a first time visit to Istanbul on London Road Westcliff. I must admit I was unsure of my parents choice and my expectations were low. However tonight's experience was beyond excellent. Our waiter apologetically explained a large party was due in an hour and although we were welcome to sit downstairs we would need to finish before the party arrived or sit upstairs where we could take as long as we wanted but it was colder upstairs. We chose to stay downstairs and finish early. The waiter took our order and quickly served drinks, he then presented us with a complimentary meze sample plate to share. Absolutely delicious! Our drinks were topped up without us needing to ask, again this was complimentary. Our starters arrived quickly, my husband chose a aubergine dish that was very tasty, I had stuffed mushrooms which were a little bland and mad me wish I'd been braver and had more meze. For our mains we had grilled lamb which was perfectly cooked with a beautiful flavour, it came on a bed of rice and with chips which was a little too filling for me. It also came with a side salad, fantastic flavours and two very mild chilli dips. We were all very full and very impressed with the quality of the food. When we asked for coffee the waiter again apologised as the large party were due so he asked if we would like to take our coffee upstairs, which we did, again the coffee and a sample of baklava cake was complimentary. I don't know if the complimentary sample dishes are normal or just because the waiter had to serve us quickly and move us and it was his way of apologising but it was without doubt some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. Excellent food and excellent service and reasonable prices.

The food from here was lovely and they give you big portions so definitely worth the money but the delivery was so poor. I ordered at 7 and was meant to have it by 8:15 latest. 8:25 come and still not here so I ring the restaurant and they said it’s out for delivery and on its way. I then waited another 20 mins and nothing. So I asked for an update on the justeat app and then a couple mins later I got a text saying it’s out for delivery. I didn’t get my food till 9:10.

Such a nice genuine guy. All other customers were so friendly and overall this is just a fantastic hidden gem. Definitely give it a visit!
