Little Istanbul Restaurant in South Northamptonshire

Excellent. Ibrahim was amazing. We actually planned to visit the next door Indian but didn’t seem as impressive as this restaurant so decided to eat here. Ordered a variety of food. The service was great. Even after paying the bill, we didn’t feel like leaving. Very impressive

A lovely meal, good value served with true Turkish hospitality. Great range of food offer. Something for all. Well worth a try. Glad we found it. Will return when in the area. Busy on a Friday night so maybe worth booking.

An absolute gem of a resturant. Outstanding food, brilliant service and huge smiles. Thank you to guys and we hope to see you again soon.

Wow we came from Hemel Hempstead and found this beautiful restaurant. Ibreham served us and he was really professional and welcoming. I will definitely come back

I ordered a meal for home delivery and when it arrived as i was eating i found a metal wire in my food. Food standards are appalling and food is expensive for what it is. I will avoid going forward

We ate here for the first time yesterday . The waiter Ibrahim was very friendly and attentive. We weren’t sure which dishes to choose and he helped us decide . We ordered the Sarma Lamb Beyti and the Mixed Kebab. Both meals were plentiful and delicious. We are looking forward to our next visit .

That is the best restaurant ! Food and staff is amazing. It's very cozy and romantic. Im so happy. We will come again 100000000 times. Thank you guys for everything.

Amazing food, amazing staff! So helpful and friendly. The food was perfect, so authentic felt like I was back in turkey! The vibe was just perfect. Would definitely recommend u will not be disappointed!

Went for dinner the other night Food was okay, a bit mediocre. The waiter was overly friendly and flirty with my girlfriend , and every time we looked up he seemed to be staring at her. Was very uncomfortable and creepy. We could not wait to leave.

The food was bland and overpriced, definitely not what I would expect from a restaurant. The whole place could also do with a good clean, especially in the toilets. Staff could do with more training, rude and the what I think is the head waiter is moody and seems more interested in playing with his mobile phone then dealing with the customers. He could also do with washing bit more as his hands look dirty and can smell cigarette smoke and body odour when he gets close. Very off putting

Great food and beautiful presentation. Staff are attentive and helpful. Make sure you book, because this is a popular place in the evenings! Takeaway also available, but you will miss out on the extras!

Visited with a group of friends for a birthday meal. Service was friendly and the food was very tasty and large portion sizes. Not my first visit and I will be back again in the future.

strange behaviour and had young people/ teens working there. The food was alright but not great and i found a hair in one of my dishes. The ladies toilet lock broke off and i had to call my friend to let someone know.

Accidently landed up in Brakney and found Little Istanbul. Amazing food, amazing service. Definately recomend....

Stopped off in Little Istanbul while travelling for work, and I'm very glad that I did. Great selection of authentic food and friendly staff made for a very pleasant experience.

We just saw this restaurant from outside and decided to try it. My wife is coeliac and the waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful in guiding her through the menu. The grilled chicken and lamb were an absolute delight, succulent and tender. The grilled chillies are probably best left alone unless you like that kind of thing. Overall highly recommended.

Wow - what a lovely experience! Loads of veggie options (not just a token falafel) 😍 Food tasted fresh & delicious with interesting flavours & thoughtful touches. Huge portions as well. The staff are really friendly & attentive too

We decided to try out this lovely little restaurant after receiving recommendations. It really is a fab little restaurant with the most delicious food and amazing service. We were spoilt for choice on what to have and can’t wait to return to try out some...

My third visit. Ambience very good, has the 'authentic' appearance that you might encounter as a tourist in Türkiye (as we are now supposed to spell it!) Quality and presentation very good but.. I normally manage 3 courses else where but not here. I had...

I really like this place. We were the 1st to enter for a lunch. We opted for various dips which we enjoyed with their lovely bread plus we went for small dishes to create some kind of mini mezze. Staff were very nice, friendly, not...

Great food Friendly staff Best baklava i have ever had Keep up good work guys Highly reccomended……..

Incredible food, quick service and very attentive and friendly staff. Fantastic customer service and a brilliant vibrant atmosphere. Cannot wait for my next visit.

Lovely restaurant with nice surroundings, first time here the food was excellent, the only let down was the service really very slow ,they forgot things as well ,I would say because the restaurant was very busy they didn't have enough staff

excellent service, fantastic food the staff went above and beyond can not fault the restaurant in anyway perfect evening had by our whole party thank you for making my sons birthday a night to remember

This small, authentic feeling, friendly little Turkish restaurant was a pleasant surprise when visiting Brackley this lunchtime. The staff were attentive and the food on the lunchtime menu suited us all very well with a good price for starter and main - which also included...

We stayed at the ramada Hotel me and my husband went for a walk and found this place 2 mins away, kebab was excellent won't go anywhere else value for money excellent service definitely coming again. Big portion we had lamb sherwawa lovely yummmyyyy.

Food was tasty. Meat was average quality, the lamb kebab was a bit chewy. Service was rather cold. Little Istanbul has a lunch special where a starter and main cost just under $12 gbp/ $16.50 approx usd.

I went on my own , sat outside , food first class ,wine first class,service First class by the end of the evening had been entertained with good conversation and excellant service. Will be going again next time in the area. Many thanks Little Istanbul

So delicious and so much food! Really really impressed, and such good value for money. The food is impeccable, just don't eat for the rest of the day if you intend to finish half of it! I had about half and I am Stuffed!

We ate here twice whilst away for the weekend. Service brilliant, food amazing, very reasonable priced. Both times they staff couldn't do enough, portions were large & very tasty. The only downside is that it's situated in a town that appears to be dying on...

Hello, I had been with my husband for his bday with my cousins. I can say the steward and waitress are excellent and gave us a very good experience. The food was quite amazing and exquisite and the price are very cheap ( value for...

Almost overlooked this place, as we were really after a pub lunch, but so glad we chose here! It doesn't look much from the outside, & as there is no menu on display we had to mask up & stick our heads round the door...

Stunning food good portions highly recommend - friendly efficient service - large generous portions.

Absolutely delicious food brilliantly attentive staff, will definitely be back, the ambiance is incredible and this is our “go to” eating out spot in Brackley.

Had lunch with my daughter and friend. Delicious food, friendly service and great value 2 course meal. Also loved the non alcoholic cocktails.

We decided to try something new... the food and the service was fantastic - the flavour, the quality, the quantity and you get what you pay for and more. This is our new place and we haven't been out for a husband and wife meal...

Just looking for coffee and respite ad we drove, saw the outside tables and parked up. Perfect welcome, loads of reasonably priced options, late lunch was irresistible at £11.90. We live an hour away, looking forward to going back. A little bit special, won't break...

Simple, fresh, flaming tasty (see what I did there?) well-cooked food. Prices are a bit on the high side but the portions are big. Well worth a try and we'll definitely be back.

Our favourite place to eat! And the takeaway during lockdown was just as good. Amazing food so fresh & the meat was to die for 😋

I always recommend they are the best Restaurant in area. The food is always quality and the service is great.

Great food, Very good customer services and staff is very friendy. You must try this place keep up guys

Cracking little restaurant in Brackley, clean, COVID safe and friendly. Excellent menu with a good selection of Turkish specialities and the usual varieties of kebab. The bread and dip starter was delicious and hot. We had 1 chicken and 1 lamb kebab with cous cous...

This place is expensive and delivery comes with a £5 cost. Our order was nearly an hour late and arrived stone cold. I phoned the restaurant to raise this issue with them and the response was completely hostile and confrontational and I was told by...

Fantastic staff! Fantastic food! I can’t rate this place enough, absolutely love the family platter. Takeaway throughout 2020 has been great too!

I have been to a number of Turkish restaurants all around the country, and am struggling to remember a better experience. I had the mix grill, and the quality of the meats were outstanding. Beautifully cooked, very tender and delicious marinades. Even the warm flatbreads...

Terrible restaurant. I ordered online and have a confirmation of my order. 1 hour later I called to find out where it was they said payment had not gone through - even though their website told me payment was successful- no one thought to contact...

We’ve had three deliveries from this restaurant now and they have all been excellent! Extremely high quality meat, good portions and very very tasty! So glad we have found this place 😊

I only give 4 stars purely for the ambience as service and food was five star. There was so much food, plenty of choice and everything we had was delicious. We were stuffed! Staff were friendly and happy to help. Not too intrusive. My only...

We recently visited this restaurant on a night where they had problems with their kitchen equipment. We were told that there would be a delay of around 30 minutes for our main course. This ended up at 1.5 hours. During the long wait we thought...

We have not eaten in the restaurant since this opened again, but we have used the delivery service and the food was brilliant. Excellent portions and well worth the money

Make sure you are hungry when you go to take full advantage. Pittas and dip in arrival then we shared the hot meze. Biggest calamari I have ever seen, with a fabulous light batter. When the mains arrived we were already struggling and they were...

We were on our way to the new forest on holiday and found this place on Google maps whilst looking for somewhere for lunch. The restaurant is spacious and has hand sanitiser on the way in, we felt safe thoughout, everything was very clean too,...

So happy to return to our Brackley favorite for the first time since the lockdown. It's always been uncramped. Now they've removed several tables so it's particularly spacious. We had a lunch of appetizers today, the Baba Ganoush, Grilled Suck, and Hot Mixed Meze for...

Great food excellent service great atmosphere I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Turkish Food

We have ordered food for delivery. Food was amazing, so delicious. Reasonable price. Generous portions too.! Thank you. Lucky to have you around.!

I love this restaurant. But it’s been takeaway/delivery only since covid 19. They have really seemed to struggle. They rectified the issue with putting dish names On food. But this eve, we received, tepid food. We had to reheat all of our food , but...

They are now doing takeaway and delivery. Well done! The food was just as amazing as it is In the Restaurant. My only complaint was that you didn’t write on the containers what food was what. X keep going. You are amazing ❤️

We had our first visit here and can confirm what the other reviewers have found - the food is just amazing. Masses of flavour. Service is attentive and friendly. Atmosphere is lively without being too loud. Portions are large, so choose wisely :-) We are...

What a wonderful evening and great treat from the warm welcome , great happy faces serving you and truly wonderful tasty and very filling meals can’t wait to go back . Thank you for looking after us

Food was lovely and the portions generous. We tried the house white wine which wasn’t nice, apart from that the wines were expensive. I didn’t like the idea that they have sittings, we went at 8 pm and found it chaotic as you have to...

We went for the first time last night with some friends who have been before and recommended Little Istanbul... we were not disappointed! The food was excellent and plentiful! The bread is divine!!! All 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals! The service was excellent...

We dined at this restaurant last night and we were very impressed. The atmosphere was great, very busy for a Thursday. The staff are lovely. There is a bigger menu than I first saw on their website, lots of choice, freshly cooked and tasted wonderful....

We had a great meal here and it was always packed out with locals when I walked past. Really lovely food and a great selection on the menu coupled with excellent service.

I’ve had other Turkish restaurants around here but this is definitely worth the extra money. I chose the mixed shish and the meat was super tender and perfectly cooked! I seen they had good reviews but now I really see why. I went with a...

Really glad this place has opened up and I can’t wait to go back again. Food was fresh and presented in a really nice way. Service was excellent. Good choice on the menu (including veggie choices) and food came really quickly. Very reasonable prices too....

Visited tonight for the first time with friends and so impressed with the food and service. All the staff were lovely and the food was just gorgeous, none of us could finish it all! Food was very fresh and so tasty! Def be returning, great...

Really positive experience..... staff were excellent and very friendly.... food was delicious. My main course was fresh and very tasty.. far better than I expected. I would recommend a visit and the beer is very good too!!!

This was our second visit to little Istanbul,the food is superb, we went for my daughter's birthday this evening and they even brought out a special cake which was delicious, 5**** ....we will definitely be back!! Thank you for a lovely evening 👍😜🎂

Food is very good - very tasty and fresh. Much improved with extra staff serving. Not many tables for 2 people but very accommodating

Due to my daughter attending a party we needed a quick dinner. Popped my head in and said we have an hour can you help us. Not only did dinner come within 20 minutes we even had time for pudding. Thanks guys. Stay busy.

Food was well cooked and the portions were generous. The staff were really attentive and helpful and the atmosphere was good. Well worth a return visit, highly recommended.

We love little Istanbul. A fab addition to Brackley. I’ve been twice and the food and service have been great both times. Looking forward to going back!

I stopped by on my way home from Heathrow one night, I refuse to patronise the motorways service station eateries, so many chains, so little corporation tax paid! And so I took a little diversion via Brackley and I came across Little Istanbul. It was...

This isn’t the first time Ive been to this restaurant. It’s not the first time I’ve reviewed it. I’ve been during the day, evening,week days and weekends. I can’t fault it. Every time, the food is amazing. Tonight, we went with friends. They haven’t been...

Great food, massive potions and an interesting menu. What more do you want!!! Also Efes Draft which is a great beer

Went for a meal with my wife, they do 2 sittings on a Saturday 6pm and 8pm. Very nice food, attentive knowledgeable staff good Turkish beer, will definitely return. The chicken sheesh kebabs are excellent. My wife was very happy as the food was slimming...

Really good food, nicely presented. It's always well used and is very noisy due to the hard surfaces. Excellent friendly staff. I think it's a shame they use paper place mats because it rather lowers the tone of the restaurant. I would certainly recommend a...

Second time I’ve been here. The first time was the first Friday they opened-it was a bit of a chaotic service, but I still enjoyed the food. This visit was much better. Restaurant still full, but everything was organised, and the food is great. The...

Wow - what a buzz. A really popular restaurant, very busy but well managed. Food was excellent and huge portion sizes. The waiting staff were the friendliest, happiest people. We had a hugely enjoyable evening here and looking foreword to returning

Very good food! Service was good also. Was busy, but well managed. We had a lovely evening. Thank you. 😁

Excellent meal , good menu, staff lovely, price reasonable. All in all a lovely evening. Shame I can't submit without rattling on and on. Nobody reads after first line !

We went last night with friends. The cocktails were awful and would not order those again. The wine we wanted wasn’t in the fridge so we were asked if we would mind picking another and they would chilli one for us. Wine was not good....

We booked a table in advance as had heard it was very busy on a Saturday night, we recieved a warm welcome upon arrival & were shown staight to our table, no waiting around. I had the mixed grill & it really was delicious, succulent...

Firstly let me comment on the two negative reviews below of 13th October, which obviously refer to the single event that I witnessed as one of the diners that evening. For obvious reasons I can’t comment on who said what to whom re their booking,...

Ate here on a busy Saturday night (booking recommended). Food was delicious, big servings and reasonably priced. Had the hot mixed meze platter, mixed kebab, and baklava and Turkish coffee. Great atmosphere, and staff were friendly, polite and attentive. We’ll be back!

We visited on a Sunday for lunch and chose from the set menu. The food was genuine, tasty and well presented. The service was efficient and came with a smile. The restaurant was busy and it was clear that families and especially children were very...

Really good food, very well presented. We had hummous, calamari and lamb meat balls between us and they were excellent. Big amounts so be hungry when you go.

We called in this new restaurant to try it. We had the lunch menu which was very good and tasty. My husband had the turkish sausage and I had the falafel for starters and both had the chicken kebabs for mains.

We have visited three times now once at lunchtime which has an excellent low cost lunch menu and twice in the evening. It is very well supported because the meals are really good value and of a high standard. It's rather noisy as there are...

nice food and excellent value for money, lunch really good value.Staff very good all in all a good experience

Disappointing – tasteless and full of gristle I have had two good meals here so very disappointed to eat this recent takeaway The meat was tasteless and full of gristle and I left most of it Hopefully the management will read this review and take...

Great friendly staff with a menu that isn’t too large so easy to pick from. They served a wonderful warm flat bread with chilli paste for a starter I then had the garlic prawns in sauce (really nice). For mains we went for a combo....

Fantastic Turkish food. Great atmosphere and prompt service. Some of the best Kebab I have ever had !

A fabulous meal with great efficient and friendly service. We were amazed how busy it was for a Tuesday. This was our second visit and I think it has got better since it opened in August. We can recommend the moussaka and the Kleftico but...

Don't come here for a quiet night or a romantic meal - this place is buzzing, absolutely packed out, and lively and full of happy chatter. Lovely helpful staff, fantastic food but huge huge portions - do arrive very hungry!!! We shared the turkish pizza...

I went to Little Istanbul with the hope of experiencing a meal that would transport me from your average English town to the heart of Istanbul. However, sadly this did not come to light. While inside the restaurant was at a push okay, it didn't...

We went to with our friends,everything was great staff was very friendly foods are amazing,we will come back soon...Thanks for all.
