Kulshi in Manchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Had a bookng for 6 people yesterday (Sunday) at 5pm . Very annoyed that the reataurant appeared to be closed. Visited the next door Italian and were informed that it had been shut for a month - leaving many customers furious and out of pocket

went on a Groupon 2 X 2 courses for £25 allegedly worth £70. it was only ok value for 25. starters sausage portion was vv small. humus had no flavour. mains were lamb and chicken kebabs. lamb vv chewy. totally average unlikely to go back on a Groupon and definitely not at full price. venue is large and spacious. lamp shades are awesome. service was friendly but slow. disappointed had high hopes

We went for My Nephews 30th Birthday. there was 30 in the party and we had to pre book our meals 2 days before , on arrival we were told that they didn’t have one starter or one main which was produce they could have sourced locally. The service was very poor, glasses not cleared of tables and when the cake was brought out no knife or serviettes or plates were brought out. I’m sure with drinks and food our party spent excess of £1000 Very Disappointed with the service and food.

Excellent restaurant absolutely beautiful decor. I purchased the 2 course meal and drink offer for my daughter's 21st birthday. Omg it was amazing, they sang a Turkish version of happy birthday with great music in English with amazing backing music. Thank you so much we travelled from Nottingham especially and it was worth the visit. We will be back. There was no issues with heating we felt comfortable and warm. I left a generous tip which for a budget conscious mum confirms it was worth every £ I spent. We all loved the food thank you staff you are all amazing.

The restaurant, has a very high ceiling .admittedly, we were eating early at 5pm, due to having a baby and 2 young children, but it was really quite cold in there.. It was not busy, but the staff seemed slow to take the drinks orders. The food was very nice and everyone enjoyed their meals. We ordered a second drink for one guest, which never arrived. The staff were quite friendly, but the whole experience just was`nt the best, and we left quite soon after finishing our food, due to the baby and the young children being cold.

Visited recently using a steak deal - absolutely great tasting steaks all four cooked as ordered. When we arrived this enormous restaurant was almost deserted and felt very chilly. By the time we left, a couple of large parties had arrived, as had quite a few couples and small groups which improved the general atmosphere. We felt that it was quite a bit warmer towards the rear - nearer the kitchen area, so be aware of this if you are offered a choice of table. Young staff should improve with experience The light shades are amazing! Anyone with mobilty problems shouldnt have any difficulty in the restaurant but parking is a bit scarce - probably as well to drop passengers off before attempting to park. Not the answer for disabled driver!

Bit of a confusing experience. Plenty of staff, yet a little tricky to get their attention. I think it is because they had two large Christmas parties on so they were super focused on them. We were the only other group in. The manager took our order. Mine was completely wrong and my partner got rice when she asked for chips. When it came time to pay they then charged me for the wrong meal along with my correct meal which they brought out after. So effectively charging me for an extra meal which I did not order or eat. I pointed this out to the manager and she corrected it. We had a cup of tea each which I know is not the normal but we just fancied it. However the tea was awful so much so my partner sent hers back. The food was nice, the rice not so much but the kebabs and chicken sizzler tasted nice and the chips were decent. However the kebab portions for £17.85 I thought were a little small. The sizzler portion was a bit more decent.

Food excellent. Service good but staff clearly have specific responsibilities, so if you ask for a drink from a member of staff who doesn’t do drinks, they go off and get someone else. Staff extremely friendly and overall excellent experience. Entertainment outstanding! Downside, netherlands lost to Argentina and I lost out on free drink! Overall, we’ll be back n thanks for helping to make our Christmas do evening so enjoyable x

I really don’t like to give a business a bad review, but I just can’t say anything positive about this restaurant. We booked a table for my sister in laws 50th birthday months ago, and dropped a balloon and banners off yesterday afternoon. They promised they would sort it all out for our arrival. Got there at 8pm only to find no balloons or banners, and no table for us. After lots of discussion they put us on a table. We waited 45 minutes and still nobody came to ask what we wanted to drink. We went and spoke to a very rude member of staff at least 3 times, but still nothing. Eventually, after going to the bar we got drinks. Then nothing again, nobody took our order, and we were there nearly an hour. It was so disappointing as it was a special occasion for the family. We ended up just walking out and going to the Italian Job next door, who went out of their way to welcome us. They looked after us so well at such short notice. I honestly will never set foot in Istanbul Grill again, just a shambles!

Went here for my 70th birthday with family whilst the food was OK the service especially for drinks was no less than appalling, constant excuses one young "waiter " especially seemed to just be wondering around aimlessly not writing down anyone's order and paying more interest in all the female parties. We waited on average 30 minutes plus for our drinks and one order never arrived but was put on the bill. Very disappointed 😞

We have ordered take away and it was by far the best grill I have had in a long time. 🤩 We had variety of dishes to taste them all and we are definitely going to eat out at the restaurant next time! Highly recommend!!!

We celebrated my mum and dads 40th wedding anniversary on Friday 4th November. The staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us from the moment we booked. We were a large group so pre booked food which was lovely. The main host (who’s name I didn’t get sorry) and all staff were so accommodating and made it extra special for them. They were also great with the young kids we had with us, as was Amir at the bar too! A big thank you again for making it such a memorable evening!

good decor and ambiance but food wasn't great service very slow nothing special bevano lounge better than here for service

We had not visited Istanbul Grill for a while so Amir took the time to explain the current menu to us. During our conversation we happened to mention that it was my husband's birthday and they then surprised him with a cake. What a nice touch! Tasty and well presented food. There was a deal on cocktails as well.....2 for £12! Thanks to Amir and the rest of the team for looking after us and we look forward to eating there again soon x

We have visited this restaurant many times throughout the last 8 years and it has been inconsistent due to the change of owners/chefs, but right now, they have an amazing chef who I hope stays! Zaza's food is authentic Turkish style and a taste we miss so dearly when back in UK, I highly recommend the Chicken Wings, Calamari and Adana kebab! Yes, sometimes there are issues with the service management (not the waiting staff - they are great) but I hope they iron these out soon as we intend on frequenting this venue a lot more in the future. The entertainment that they have at the weekend is very good too, especially the Freddy Mercury tribute act, he was fabulous! This is a great place to enjoy as a family or just with friends ... Give it a go!

Place was beautifully done out. Our tables were booked for 30 people for an 18th birthday celebration for 7pm. We arrived in time. By 7.40 we had ordered our meals. The waiter/ Waitress service was very shoddy and no organisation. We had two Younsters on...

Booked a table 17th September it was suppose to be a 60th celebration and also an engagement, very disappointed with the service, had to ask for menu after 15 minutes of waiting and then our order wasn’t taken for another half hour, people kept coming...

The place is very airy with high ceilings, very clean and well presented. We found the staff very friendly, sociable and efficient, although I did have to ask for extra flat bread 3 times. The food is excellent, highly recommend the prawn starter and the...

Had the absolute best night, food was amazing as always, staff was so lovely especially with my 2 year old grandson, had a lovely night for my twins 25th birthday meal, can’t say enough thank yous x

Travelling with my daughter, we wanted to find proper Turkish food like we’d enjoyed on our holiday earlier this year. This lovely restaurant served up the most incredible Mezze platter (houmous, baba gaboush, a carrot, yoghurt and chilli dip I don’t know the name of,...

We booked here for the Robbie Williams tribute night. Which was cancelled due to change of management. We were still promised there would be entertainment on. My friends I was with had been a few times before. They have always had such a great time....

First time at Istanbul Grill, nearly didn't go due to recent negative reviews but so glad we did. The positive reviews far out-weigh the negative, now we know why. Sunday tea time so not too busy, food was very nice, staff were very friendly and...

Used to be one of our favourite restaurants pre-lockdown and have been back 2-3 times since. Sadly each time we’ve been disappointed. The change of menu has resulted in the loss of several of our favourite dishes and the price has hiked significantly, yet the...

For various reasons this was our first visit post refurbishment and I think with new owners. Basically nowhere near as good as it used to be nor did it seem.as busy as less than half full on a Friday evning. Yes, decor is lovely but...

Just wanted something to eat before going out to see a film, forgot how special this place is, the staff are just lovely and the food delicious, will be back.

Popped in for lunch yesterday, & wow, what an amazing place. It’s my first time visiting here and literally everything from the food to the friendly service was just perfect. I had the SeaBass and my husband had the Iskender Kebab.. it looked beautiful and...

Unfortunately, the restaurant has changed its menu and massively increased its prices. Now there is NO Moussaka on the menu and NO Meat Platter. Before the menu change these were probably the most popular dishes. They have increased the price of a Pint of Efes...

Brilliant night - Came in for food and drinks with my partner and have nothing but praise to say. Food was gorgeous especially the lamb chops, cocktails were perfect and the staff were fantastic, really went out their way. Had a great night and will...

Please don’t come here it’s distinctly poor Turkish food, a lack of atmosphere and poor service. If you are after authentic this isn’t it.

First time we’ve visited since it’s refurbishment for a family meal. Food and service seemed OK but not as good as previously. Wish I’d checked the food safety ratings for the restaurant on Trafford website before visiting though……after effects on several of our group not...

We rated our experience 5 stars, because it was incredible! From start to the finish , the service was amazing! And the food was equally as good! The staff were very welcoming and creating a warm and friendly environment whilst still being professional. We were...

Great, if you want to feel like you’re eating at an all inclusive buffet in Benidorm at teatime. Staff were lovely - but due to the utter chaos - service was dire. Food was ‘meh’…. it’s ticked off my list, but won’t be returning.

Sorry food not as good as it used to be. Was also slightly annoyed when having a laugh about Raki waiter came and brought me one. I thought that’s a nice gesture till bill came and I was charged for it. Out of six meals...

Have just rang the restaurant to discuss a possibility of picking up the meals (only 3) I've preordered and prepaid, as I've just found out I've got Covid and unable to have a sit down meal, and the member of staff was so rude. Started...

Came for lunch with friends. We all went for tapas bits followed by the meat platters which were very tasty. Good service and in a nice ambiance

I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting to enjoy great food in a lively atmosphere. The staff are all very attentive and can't do enough for the tables they are waiting on .Our waiter was called Mo.He was excellent all evening ,and always nearby...

Third time we've visited the Istanbul Grill and it never disappoints. The food is great, service is always brilliant and the surroundings and atmosphere are there to match. If there's 2 or more, I definitely recommend the king of the grill 👍

Went for a 50th birthday party. The place was packed and a number of birthdays were taking place. Very lively place music playing all night. They don't rush you.the food was very good. I had Lamb meatballs for starter and salmon for main. Both enjoyed...

Silence between the two diners because, quite simply, we couldn't hear each other without shouting! It was a busy Saturday night and the place was rammed, so a buzzing atmosphere. The problem was the music not the crowd, however. It was like we were eating...

What a shocking experience this was. Seated in front of a stage, 4 of us all over 60 years old within 40 minutes of sitting down blaring music and flashing Stroud lights in our eyes couldn’t look up t each other. Starter arrived within 3...

Ignore the one/two star reviews. 30 of us arrived for an 18th birthday meal and we were treated like royalty. The food is excellent and service impeccable. I will happily return. Thank you again to the staff who sang happy birthday to my daughter and...

Not been for a few years and like what they have done with the place.After finishing our starters we were asked if we wanted our mains straight away ?. We asked for 5 mins but our mains arrived 2 mins later. The waitress did apologise...

This restaurant is absolutely amazing the food is delicious and always tastes incredible and on time. The drinks are always on point and flavourful. The staff here are so welcoming and friendly. Management is amazing always making sure you have everything you need and are...

12 of us Came to Istanbul grill and once again had amazing food and amazing service. I came for my daughters 18th birthday meal and she had such a great time, food was on time, hot and delicious as always the mixed grill was fantastic!...

I was there last Tuesday with my family for lunch, two course food was £9.95. It was a great quality food and the staffs were super nice and lovely. Our food was cooked properly and the food design was great and the atmosphere was fantastic.

Lovely food, delicious, good quality and reasonably priced. Good choice on the menu. Great service by the friendly staff. Pleasant atmosphere. Everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves and didn't see 1 person complain and chatting to others they also really enjoyed it. Really clean restaurant...

Have been here a couple of time since the refurbishment and enjoyed it so booked for New Years Eve. It wasn’t great. They messed up our mains. The plates weren’t finished but we’d didn’t realise until after we ate it and We saw everybody else’s...

Overpriced. Missold. Rushed. Order off the menu got something instead without any explanation. Belly dancer - 20-25 minutes only. DJ - a waiter that couldn’t use Spotify at all. Music…more like noise. Unfinished drinks cleared.

Never been before and was pleasantly surprised, the decor is lovely, beautiful mosaic lights. It’s a big room but was still full, lots of Xmas parties. The atmosphere was great, a good belly dancer and live singer and then dj and dancing. I had the...

Visited with hen party approximately 25 ladies, pre ordered food for 7pm, food eventually arrived after 8.30pm not very warm and nothing special, I found the male staff to be a bit creepy, you can be professional and friendly without being leery with over friendly...

Visited Istanbul Grill on Friday, have been a few times (before lockdown) and always enjoyed the food and service. i think things have slipped since the refurb...... Seated promptly and drinks ordered and arrived fine. Waiter took our order, there were two of us, order...

The mains are absolutely lovely (especially the grills) but the starters are very disappointing, we’ve been a few times and tried different ones and none are of quality. We booked a table but had to wait as they’d double booked, they also forgot to give...

We've been coming to the Istanbul Grill for many years. It has been our go to place in Urmston for get togethers. Never again. The owner was sweary rude, aggressive and obnoxious in front of our friends young children, when we asked if the children...

Very disappointing after being recommended. Turned up and no table ready, should have known at this point. Waited 40 mins for a starter. Order prawns and avocado, no avocado? Half of it left on the table and the bottom of the plate. Mussels tiny, sirloin...

Istanbul Grill has been in Urmston for a number of years. It closed down during lockdown, and had a lot of work done inside. It's now re-opened, and it was our first visit since. The menu has changed substantially. It's more of a pan-European menu...

We visited on a Saturday night with family for a catch up and a meal. Unfortunately the noise was so loud we couldn’t talk , the openness of the refitted dining area it was impossible to talk . The staff were very busy it felt...

Fantastic restaurant which has just been refurbished. Lovely surroundings and great relaxed atmosphere. Service was attentive, pleasant and efficient. Food was beautiful and so quick!

When I found this restaurant on-line I felt I had to check it was Urmson England! I grew up in Stretford and knew Urmston really well, so I was amazed to see that this was here. We were visiting my parents and wanted somewhere different...

We used to visit here and it was lovely however we visited after the reopening and had an awful experience (service terrible, man rude on front of house).

Had been looking forward to this place opening as its relatively local to us and the venue looks amazing. They’ve done a great job inside and outside the restaurant - it’s a unique building and a really big space. However, that’s where it stopped for...

I visited on Saturday 28th August 2021 with my daughter and my two grown up grandchildren. The table was booked for 19:00. We were greeted by Mahmut, who took us to our table and ensured we were comfortable with where we were sitting. The restaurant...

Four of visited for lunch on Christmas eve. The food was great, generous portions, piping hot and well cooked and presented. The only drawback was that there was no atmosphere, there being only about a dozen customers in a room that would seat hundreds.

We booked a party of 12 for New Years Eve and have to say that the whole evening was superb. Great food, superb service and great entertainment. Compliments to all the staff who helped make it a enjoyable night. Thanks guys.

Lovely party ambiance in the restaurant and great service - creating a nice relaxed feel. Excellent interaction with the kids - very child friendly. Last but not least - the food is cooked to perfection and according to my son, it has the best chocolate cake in Manchester! I am gluten free also and there is plenty food choices available - a winning package for us all!

Me & my husband ate here on Saturday and we can truly say that the whole evening was amazing !

This is such a fabulous place for lunch or an evening meal. The food is delicious and authentic and the service is super friendly. Lastly the value for money is great - for the two of us it cost £60 for two starters, two mains, a bottle of wine and two gin and tonics. Gets a thumbs up from us

Food is nowhere near as good as it was when the restaurant first opened. You would have thought hummus would top notch but was like slop.

It's not very difficult to understand why they are busy, it was really nice dinner we had and definitely we will be back again soon. Thank you everyone for your hospitality and great food.

We walked past the Istanbul Grill on our way to an Indian.

Just popped in for cocktails after food - what can I say as always the staff are friendly and treat you as family. The cocktails were brilliant as normal - they even made me a cocktail that wasn't on the menu

Visited Istanbul grill for a family night, as it was my brothers birthday. Did not disappoint. Was seated very quickly and had drinks within minutes, I ordered the special Turkish bread and a delicious mixed grill, food was amazing and very tasty and so was everyone else's on the table, great customer service with friendly staff and a classy and vibrant environment, definitely will be returning here!

My partner and I visited here on a busy night!Dreadful waiter service took too long to order a drink!Food order took 2 hours even missing my partners starter off the order.

Visited the Istanbul grill numerous times since it opened. Never been disappointed. The food is great and the staff are very attentive. Great for families even with young kids. Can’t fault it.

Takeaway from here tonight. Several lamb dishes, all very good. Veg moussaka also got a good report. I'm sure I'll visit again

Worst experience of my social life booked 7.30! Table for 7 for my 2 year old granddaughter birthday minibus a little late arrived 20 minutes late shown to wrong table only big enough for 4 had booked 3 weeks in advance

Went for a meal with my family. Amazing food, great atmosphere and very friendly. Will definenly be returning for our 3rd times. Highly recommend to everyone. Big thank you to the staff.

Quiet night out? Not this restaurant! It is very loud, quite dark and not really conducive to a cosy chat and sweet talk. Having said all of that the food was good, the happy birthday singing and belly dancing was all entertaining. We had nice, hot Turkish bread with humour. Followed by a tasty mixed grill. We used our mobile phones to shine a light on the food to see what we were eating!

I'll start from the beginning and apologise in advance for the length! We visited the Istanbul Grill after me avoiding trying it for years due to the mixed reviews I had heard. However, someone in the family wanted to go for their birthday and so I had no choice. Ten of us arrived for our booking at 7pm. The restaurant is huge, at least enough space for 200. There was another table of ten and 3 tables of couples; so quiet and empty to be honest. It was freezing in the restaurant, probably due to it's vast size and lack of customers. The staff all milled around the bar near the front of the restaurant and we actually seated ourselves. After ten minutes seated, I actually had to ask someone to come over and take our drinks order. I ordered a Sex on the Beach - which was neither the colour nor the taste of the famous cocktail. I quickly ordered another drink.

A very friendly and authentic restaurant with a welcome greeting from door to table by Turkish staff,time to read a well stocked menu of Turkish cuisine with vegetarian options,when you've ordered your food you are able to see the chefs cooking your food from fresh while you drinking a Turkish efes beer ,on Friday and Saturday nights at approximately 9-30 a belly is your entertainment birthdays are celebrated with staff singing happy birthday ,just book and try the food I'm sure you'll return

Went one Friday early evening with our young son. Fairly quite but loads of staff. We were seated and drinks arrived quickly

Absolutely love it here, amazing food, amazing staff, very fun & lively entertainment, go here every year for my birthday, best place to go in urmston for a fun meal, would definitely recommend

The food here is outstanding, the staff are very attentive extremely pleasant, the surroundings and atmosphere are very welcoming, would recommend a visit with no exceptions.

Our first visit was a spare of the moment thing. And wow.

Came to eat here on Bank Holiday Monday night. Arrived quite late as we had been out walking all day. We were all famished and had previously been turned away by several restaurants we called at in Disley on our way home. So were very pleased with the friendly greeting and being shown to a table. The food order arrived quickly and everything was really tasty, well served and well presented. The staff were attentive and clearly work hard. All in all great value and great service. Would definitely recommend.

A group of 9 (including 3 children) went to the Istanbul Grill and from the moment we entered, to the moment we left, the service was first class. The staff could not do enough for everyone and treated the children like their own. My 6 year old daughter was even taken to make her own orange juice cocktail at the bar! The choice of food was outstanding and the tasting didn't disappoint and all members of the party said they would definitely visit again.

Big restaurant, good service, nice choice of food. If you fancy a Turkish meal, give this place a try
