Izgara Barrow in Barrow-in-Furness

Today was the first visit since it reopened as a cafe/restaurant. Serving breakfast, snacks & main meals. We were greeted on arrival by a lovely young man, he was friendly & professional. Hubby had a no.1 breakfast, which consisted of 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 slices of black pudding, 2 hash browns, mushrooms, tomatoes and beans. I had a no.2 which was 1 of everything no black pudding & 2 halves of fried tomatoes, plenty of mushrooms (my favourite) We had 4 slices of toast, 2 cafetières of tea, with a biscuit on the side, then when we had finished the young man brought us a Turkish dessert. The restaurant was clean, nicely decorated & welcoming. Thank you we enjoyed it & will return.

We were staying in Barrow and could not get into the Italian we had seen on trip advisor, so called into Izgara on a Sunday evening and so glad we did. We chose the meat platter, which consists of any two starters, followed by a platter of mixed meats with salad and rice. We opted for the melon and feta and yogurt dip as starters, as we thought these would be less filling, but tasty. They were a delicious starter and the meat platter succulent and plentiful. This set menu was £45 for the two of us and was worth every penny. We are so sorry that we are visitors and so cannot frequent this establishment on a regular basis - you lucky Barrow people! Service was excellent, not rushed - take your time and enjoy!

Just finished eating, absolutely fabulous! Not familiar with the area, have come to Barrow in Furness to stay at Abbey House Hotel and fancied somewhere to eat. Found it easily. We had cheese garlic mushrooms and battered prawns to start. Just yum. With fresh salad and lovely dips. Sharing platter of lamb and chicken followed. Every mouthful delicious. You really won’t be disappointed. If we travel north again, will definitely call back. Thank you!!!!

5 - wow the food was fantastic and the service second to none! We all enjoyed our meals we can say there wasn’t anything wrong with all our food. Would definitely eat there again 👍

I have no idea how this place rates so highly, given my experience and what some other locals say about it. Probably the worst food in Barrow, and perhaps just preferable for many to sit and eat what'll inevitably become a pavement pizza, instead of eating it along the street. There is nothing positive to say about the food, service or restaurant itself. If you appreciate good food, try Oscar's. If you like rubbish, McDonald's is cheaper, quicker and still than here.

We booked a week in advance for a group of 16, food was very good and very tasty, good selection of bottled beers. Didn’t wait long for service and would definitely go again

First visit and won’t be the last. Highly recommended , lovely welcoming friendly staff. Service good. Food excellent - only problem couldn’t eat it all - portions are good size. Premises lovely and clean. First time we’ve visited a Turkish restaurant - found the food tasty and well presented. Everything lovely and fresh. Will be recommending to family and friends.

Cracking place. Great food for really great pricing. Waiter was also very nice and kept an eye on our drinks throughout.

Our go to restaurant, Best food & olives in town. Staff are all amazing and couldn’t do more for you.

Food was really nice, service was good. Waitress very attentive. We were the only people dining in on a Monday at 5pm, would have been more atmosphere had there been other diners but did not detract from the food.

Booked for my 50th birthday meal (4 of us) wasn't sure what to expect but it was fantastic. The staff were friendly and attentive , the food was amazing. A good variety on the menu and quite large portions at a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend if visiting Barrow.

Really good, tasty food. We were a bit unsure what to expect as the restaurant and menu seemed quite basic but like all the other reviews we found it was definitely worth the visit. Large portions, friendly service and really delicious. We opted for a chicken sauté and a vegetable kebab and it was nothing like we expected - well cooked and in a lovely creamy tomato sauce served with 2 types of rice. The ratings for this restaurant are well deserved and we would definitely recommend and revisit if ever back in the area.

Completely fabulous My daughter was getting married at Abbey House Hotel and we booked this restaurant for 20 of us for the night before It was brilliant the food was so lovely and very generous portions, fabulous value for money. It’s a relatively small restaurant but the service was excellent and really efficient. Everyone throughly enjoyed it.

We were greeted by Robert the waiter, excellent service right throughout the night by all staff! The food also was amazing, garlic mushrooms starter and calamari, followed by the platter for 2, we were well impressed, all meats cooked perfectly with herbs and spices, we will definitely be back.

A simple starter of cacik came with a beautifully presented salad. Chicken, lamb and adana kebabs were really well cooked and the fresh made bread was worth the visit by itself. Baklava was heavenly. Service was friendly and always helpful. A lovely meal at a fair price.

Yet another beautiful, delicious meal delivered during lockdown2 . Food was fresh and perfectly cooked . Best kebab in town , you must try it.

First time we've visited this restaurant but definitely won't be the last!Decided to go as we had a voucher we received for Xmas but due to Covid we've not been out. Was a little anxious as Barrow gas recently been put in Tier 2 but needn't have worried as there was sanitiser on each table, they were well spaced out, staff were careful to ensure distancing & track & trace details were taken on arrival. Also poster on door.Our food was beautifully presented, lovely & fresh + nicely seasoned. Staff very knowledgeable, welcoming & not too imposing but came straight over when needed for drinks etc.We made the mistake of both ordering starters but then found they came with bread & salad too. The homemade bread was the nicest I've tasted since our last holiday in Turkey.Had the Izgara special mixed kebab & betzi chicken both very flavorsome & generous portions. We'll certainly return!

Food was delicious, had the sharing platter and starters wasn’t disappointed. Would really recommend this place.

Amazing again. The staff and service is first class. The food is absolutely amazing, sooo fresh and delicious. Couldn’t fault at all and will definitely return. COVID-19 distancing and rules absolute adhered to by all staff. An absolute must for a delicious meal .

EL MEJOR KEBAB DE CORDERO QUE HE PROBADO. Deseche ese EL MEJOR CORDERO COMPLETO que he probado en mi vida. Excelente servicio, el hummus es para morirse, las bebidas son razonables, la gente es FABULOSA. Vivo en Staffordshire id con mucho gusto conduzco 3 horas solo para comer aquí. Relajado y brillante.

Llamado para cenar un sábado por la noche. Tengo que decir que no soy el mayor fanático de la comida turca, pero Izgara demostró más de lo que podría haber esperado. La comida estaba increible. Teníamos gambas y otro plato con albóndigas y salsa de tomate con yogur. No recuerdo el nombre, pero lo estaré buscando la próxima vez que visite un restaurante turco. Ambos contemplan la creencia. Fantástico. El servicio también fue perfecto.

Had a takeaway from here, it was really tasty and the food was really good quality!I would highly recommend this place.the delivery was very quick and the driver was very friendly!!

Had an excellent takeaway from here on a couple of occasions now always have lamb shish. The meat, rice, salad and bread are always spot on, delivered on time by a friendly driver. Would definitely recommend and will keep ordering - well done Izgara

Just had a beautiful meal delivered on time. Food was fresh, hot and beautifully presented. Lamb pide and chicken kebab, yummy.

Acabo de pedir una comida en bandeja para 2, solo ha alimentado a 3 adultos (con algunas sobras) y sabía fuera de este mundo. La carne estaba tierna, jugosa y llena de sabor, los entrantes de salchicha y mozzarella eran sublimes. La ensalada y las salsas eran frescas y sabrosas. Para hacerlo aún mejor, había un 30% de descuento, por lo que todo me costó 30. Una ganga total por lo que obtuvimos, y la entrega también fue rápida, gracias.

Just finished eating had 2 starters and a mixed meat main. Absolutely fabulous 2nd visit from Warrington. Staying in Barrow and best place to eat.

I was delighted with the attitude to my request for gluten free food. The manager took my order, and was very clear about my options. I felt confident eating in this restaurant which is sadly rare. The food was fresh, generously portioned and delicious

Good customer service..quite a busy restaurant .. Wide array of options, good sized portions and delicious authentic meals .. A place worth definitely visiting

We had a nice cold mezze and mixed meat kebab. The food was good quality, the cafe style layout was clean and the staff were friendly.

Our female server went out of her way to ensure everything I selected from the menu was suitable for my gluten free (Coeliac) requirements. Absolutely delicious, freshly prepared food. Light and crisp salad, zingy dips and very tender, lean meats. Service was exceptional. We will definitely return on our next visit.

Visited here for something a bit different to our usual haunts and we weren't disappointed. We opted for the £39 platter with 2 starters, absolutely gorgeous food and all very reasonable. We even had a couple of puds at the end which also were fantastic, with my other half getting a pud on a recommendation from one of the staff. Keep up the good work.

We went here furst time 21 feb amazed how clean and the foid out if this world n for 8.90 for a 3 course meal good we will be back

Had a lovely meal tonight . Food was all freshly cooked and tasted delicious. Service was spot on . Will definitely go back.

Visited tonight for my daughters 12th birthday. The staff were fantastic.....added table decorations and made a fuss of her when bringing her cake out. We all had a great time and the food was gorgeous. Looking forward to our next visit already.

Third visit to izgara. Excellent restaurant. Very good food with very good service. Will go back in a flash.

Never disappoints. Lovley staff Top quality and by far the best food in Barrow. Couldnt recommend anymore.

Decided very last minute but to come for a date night. They were very accommodating for a small child (13 months at 6pm at night). I opted for the 4 course special, feta and melon for starter, Adana kebab main. Hubby had beef sausage and mozzarella for starter and house special main. Both meals beautiful. Couldn't fit in my pudding, so they popped in a takeaway box for me. Absolutely gorgeous, couldn't fault a thing, and nothing was too much trouble.

We nipped in here for lunch whilst Christmas shopping and were extremely impressed. First we got a very decent sized bread basket which was lovely with various dips and a huge plate of salad. For main I had chicken and my partner had lamb - both came with plenty of rice and tasted delicious. Meats were perfectly cooked and there was plenty of meat in there unlike some restaurants you go to. We also had a side of chips which were lovely too. Portions were very generous and we were unable to finish ours! The gentleman serving us was extremely friendly, polite and helpful which makes it even nicer. We were the only people in there the whole time which is unfortunate as the food and service were both excellent. Will definitely go again! Prices were great for the lunch menu too - about £25 for everything including 4 drinks.

Popped in for some lunch, surprised to find the restaurant empty but it didn't deter has had heard good things about the food. They were right food was excellent and plentiful, they did not skimp on the tender lamb in my dish. Before our meals we were treated to complimentary bread, salad and dips which were great too. Bill came to about £25 as we had a second round of drinks but excellent value for what we had. Will be back

I went to Izgara after wanting to go for a Mexican, but we ended up at this restaurant and what an excellent meal we had. My wife is vegetarian and found lots of vegetarian food. The extras we get with the meal is amazing and value for money with excellent taste. I am writing this review as we are both going there tonight to enjoy our food. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for great tasting food.

We have just had the most amazing meal here. Shish kebab for me, ribs for my wife. Beautifully cooked, delicious salad and accoutrements. And the baklava for dessert was stunning.

Had a take away from Izgara this evening and it was amazing, it is definitely up there with 1 of the best I've had the food was delicious and hot. My partner had chicken pizza and the chicken was lovely cooked to perfection. I had the mixed kebab which was to die for all the meat was melt in the mouth. Can't wait to order again from here service too was second to none also which I greatly appreciated if I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!

Cannot fault this resturant, excellent food, excellent customer service. If I had to find a fault, which is hard, it's that the waiter supports manchester United. Apart from that, this is my favourite resturant in barrow.

second visit and just as amazing as the first time. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived and couldn't be more helpful. The food was fantastic and I will definitely return again

We have eaten in izgara on a couple of previous occasions for dinner ,always excellent so in town shopping at lunchtime decided to try lunch Certainly not disappointed,food, staff atmosphere all tip top & the value for money ,second to none

I have been here twice with work recently and the food in lovely.

Really tasty food, fabulous kebabs and lovely salad and flatbreads. The staff were really friendly and very helpful.

The food is delicious here. They are very friendly and welcoming. They are also attentive in the right degree. I do find the choice rather limited though in regards to the main courses. No pizzas or pides. I have had the fish before, chick shish and now the chicken burger and thats my limit really. I don't eat lamb or the minced chicken kebabs. Love the salad and dips they give you before the meal and the bread warmed on the grill is delicious but i dont really want to go out just to eat salad and bread. I could happily combined a couple of starters to make a meal though. Nothing wrong with the food at all and if you love lamb it does look gorgeous and all colleagues enjoyed. I was disappointed by the feta cigar shaped filo parcels there was no spinach or anything to break the feta up and it needed it.

Been here a couple of times at lunch and it is really really good the special is excellent value and a good choice. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. We loved the rice pudding dessert. Will recommend and return

Extremely quiet on a Monday lunchtime. Staff very nice and welcoming and took the time to have a conversation. We had a 3 course lunch special. Very tasty starters with a nice salad and substantial mains. No room for pud so we opted for very strong Turkish coffee which was excellent. For such quality this place deserves more customers. We ill be back.

A lunch time visit with friends. Excellent service. The surroundings were very comfortable and clean. The food was lovely.

Been to this little restraint 3 or 4 times now with family members. Each time the food great and the service is excellent. Staff are lovely. Great prices too.

Had a meal tonight at Izgara , fabulous service and great food.

Visited yesterday with a friend, Sat 17th Aug. Lovely decorated restaurant very clean and airy. The young man who took our order was very polite. When he brought our dishes he had a smile and lots of information. We had 4 courses for £19.90. Every course was delicious and most enjoyable. Chefs and other staff most pleasant. All in all superb and faultless. Will definitely be back, will also highly recommend.

3 visits in 2 months & no complaints.

Probably the best place to eat in Barrow. Fresh and authentic Turkish food. Visibly clean - and the kitchen is part of the floor show. Beer is better than the wine.

We had a delicious meal with great service. The food was tasty and presented well, the starters came with warm flatbread and a salad , our main courses were tasty and plentiful, we had desserts and Turkish tea. Reasonably priced too.

Visited here last month with my family, the waiter that served us was a lovely guy he was friendly helpful and made us feel really welcomed. The food was also great and the presentation too, will definitely recommend this place.

What a treat, got a take away this evening and it was so fresh and tasty, pure authentic Turkish food at its best. Even better than most places in Turkey. From the meat to the sides and sauces, all perfect. If you want the best of the best come here. 20% discount on walk in take away as well

Myself and my husband called in for lunch 3 weeks ago. The value was exceptional as was the food. We chose the 3 course lunchtime special. The quality and presentation of the food was excellent. We both agreed it was the best meal we had eaten in a long time. Robert our waiter provided great service, polite, well mannered and friendly. Unfortunately we don't live in Barrow, that being so, we will make sure to visit again soon. A huge thank you to the owners and staff, you're doing a fantastic job.

This was one of the best Turkish meals I've ever had. We shared a cold meze starter then a grill platter - we ended up taking some home for later, or we wouldn't have had room for dessert. Yummy - 10/10 for every morsel. The staff were really friendly & very efficient too.

Just had a fabulous meal at Izgara 3 Cavendish Street. The food was great and the service was also excellent This is a good addition to the Barrow Restaurant scene. Unusually for a Turkish restaurants also great deserts will be back.

Just visited Izagara for the first time with my wife for our wedding anniversary and in short...it was excellent. A warm greeting on entry to a delightfully quaint set up. Ordered the platter (smaller of the two on offer) The food was delicious, perfectly cooked combo of chicken and lamb and very generous portions. The lamb chops and lamb ribs were amazing and so tender...the garlic mushrooms...wow! The complimentary salad was a work of art and very fresh, very tasty home made Turkish breads and dips...all extras that you would pay for elsewhere. A nice reasonable priced bottle of wine... and the best Baklava that I've ever tasted. Rounded off the perfect evening with a free, super strong Turkish coffee. Any compliments were passed back to the chefs who were very keen to please. All came in under £65, I left a very generous tip... which was very well deserved.

Delicious and reasonably priced for dinner. We chose the shared platter for 2-3 people. You choose 2 starters from a selection which comes with a large salad and pitta breads. For main it is grilled meats with rice and grilled veg. The meat was cooked to perfection, there was so much we couldn't finish it! We will be back!

We went for dinner. The place is near the city centre of Barrow-in-Furness.

Et gjennomført praktmåltid, og svært sjenerøse porsjoner. Forrett med salat, hjemmelaget tzatziki og tyrkisk brød. Grillet lam. Det smakte himmelsk, men ingen av oss klarte å spise opp all maten. Hvis du er i Barrow, ta en tur innom Izgara, ligger i en sidegate til Avbryt Rd.

Popped in here whilst shopping this lunchtime. Was extremely impressed, the waiter was very polite. I ordered a Efes beer and the £8.90 lunch. Everything was so tasty and well presented. You could see into the kitchen as well, always a good thing. I know that I will definitely come back here again. They are open in the evening as well and do takeaways.

We have been to the other Turkish restaurant in town several times and love it, so we thought we would sample the Izgara. First impressions, nicely decorated, pleasant welcome, atmosphere perhaps a little lacking. Service was a little slow, in fact I think we were forgotten as our mains were ready before the starters appeared, although these were freshly cooked again later, but we weren’t in a hurry and there were a couple of larger parties. We opted for garlic mushrooms and the prawn starter, the former was very different from the other restaurant, loads of mushrooms in heaps of buttery garlic, prawns were nice in a light batter. Bread and two dips were provided, the bread warm and delicious and the cacik in particular was delicious. The mains were lamb shish served with a separate plate of salad and two portions of rice each. Without a doubt this was the nicest lamb shish we have ever had, tender tasty lamb and a decent portion. Total cost for two starters, two mains, two glasses of wine and a beer £54, so good value too. Final verdict: delicious food definitely worth coming back for.

Noticed it was open at lunchtime and had a very good deal on so decided to give it a try. We were both really glad that we did!

My colleague and I was in Barrow-in-Furness on Wednesday 3rd and i had noticed Izgara on tripadvisor so decided to go for their £8.95 Three Course Lunch. We are so pleased that we did as the food was excellent value....Choice of cold stater....we had humus, taramasalata plus extra ispanak tarator £4.70 (spinach and garlic in yoghurt) with pita bread....main course of lamb shish (great flavour and texture)accompanied with chargrilled pepper,tomato,rice,bulgar wheat,flat bread plus side salad of grated carrot,onion,cucumber,red cabbage,baby tomato,rocket and oil dressing (very good fresh) and for dessert a piece of baklava. To drink we had a bottle of Budweiser £3.40.

We ate here on Mother's Day with the in laws and had a fantastic meal. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. Our waiter offered to split a shish between our 2 young children which turned out to be a perfect option. The restaurant is bright, spacious and airy. The chef and waiting staff were happy to talk to us about the menu. A really enjoyable experience, we'll be back and I would definitely recommend to others.

Walked past on Sunday lunchtime and were amazed at the lunch menu.

Great food, fresh and tasty. The Turkish coffee and home made Turkish rice pudding were also really good.

Absolutely Beautiful starters were wow garlic mushrooms & prawns. Then we had a mixed meat grill to share. The smell was divine took me back on holiday. Presentation lovely. Meat tasty & cooked to perfection. Service great could not do enough for you. Can’t wait to return

A fabulous authentic lunchtime menu that was really good value for money. Three courses and a drink for 2 for less than £22!

On arriving for our first visit the decor is fresh. Service was good by Robert & Bronwen during our evening.

We popped in for lunch on Friday as a last minute arrangement.

Service and food all good. We had a big meat platter for 4 and couldn't finish it all. Price reasonable for what we had. Will come again.

Best kebab I have eaten! Fresh delightful food, owner in Kitchen and wife front of house. Beautiful family run Turkish authentic restaurant, they will do well!

Had a fantastic authentic meal with friends. The staff were excellent. Food amazing, will definitely go again.

I booked this about a couple weeks ago. It's was new restaurant to try for my Birthday. I went with my Daughter Sonia and her husband Chris. A gentleman opened the door for use. That's was nice. We went to our table, we got our menu for drinks and meals.

We ate here valentines evening, on arrival all the ladies were given a red rose and as mentioned in another review the owners had gone to the trouble to give the restaurant a lovely valentines feel by scattering red hearts over the tables, a nice touch.

Visited Valentines evening, having booked in advance, ladies were given a rose on arrival. The tables were scattered with red heart confetti, another nice touch. You are able to see the chefs cooking, the restaurant is spotlessly clean with a beautiful colour scheme. The Turkish beer is £5 pint & large red wine £5.80 A very colourful salad & Turkish bread was placed on the table, both of which were very nice supported by 2 dips. My husband had Sucuk & Mozzerella (Turkish sausage) to start while I had garlic mushrooms. Mains for myself was chicken shish & hubby had the Izgara house special shish both came with 2 types of rice, salad & green pepper & a flat bread. The service was very attentive by the lady "owner" & a very pleasant helpful young man. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit & hope it won't be long until we visit again.

Had the lunch offer, 3 course for £8.95 between 12 - 2pm. Gorgeous food and lovely staff. Will 100% be back again!

Really enjoyed our meal today. We were pleasantly surprised how yummy the food was. HIGHLY recommended...Staff were very attentive... A real Turkish Gem in Barrow!

Relaxed atmosphere and very good food. Would have a had 5 stars with a slightly wider menu for sides/vegetables.

Food is very nice Staff is very friendly Recommend it I will ask everyone to come and enjoy a remembered night Wine price is very good Starters are very tasty Have real food

A new restaurant in town and excellent. Very good value with good priced wine that was very good. It was quiet when we went so I don't know how they would cope when full but our service was very good. The free plate of nibbles and bread was large and probably too large but it's early days and I'm sure a balance will be found. The food could not be faulted and was excellent. Two meals and a bottle of wine for less than £50 was very good. I will definitely return soon. The restaurant did lack a bit of background music but they said some new speakers were on order.

Unbeknownst to my colleague and I, we visited Izgara on its opening night - this only became apparent after we left. The decor and lighting is great, and we were readily seated on what was a relatively quiet service. We had an inkling that everyone was finding their feet as we ordered the grill platter but the waitress had to confirm which starters were included with the platter - cold starters, for your information. All of the food was extremely tasty, full of flavour and more than enough for two. I finished off with a turkish coffee and a complimentary piece of baklava; both of which reminded me of foreign trips. We received the bill and paid with a small addition of service. It was only 2 days later that we found we had been charged for the starters (@£10), even though they were included as part of the platter. probably but it down to teething problems but it wont hurt to check. Nevertheless, a lovely meal with attentive & friendly service.
