The Taste Of Istanbul in Cambridge

Very disappointed with the food , wouldn’t go back there to eat again for sure . The pub only had 3-4 tables in and only 2 of us been eating yet took ages to get our food . Another couple sit down next to us 15 min later at least they got their food before us . We only ordered steak and chips … ordered two cocktails which took ages to come out … we got the second drinks already by the time we got our main course out while the other table who has set down lot later than us had finished their meal already ! When we got our main we had to ask where is our starter ? They didn’t even ask if we still want it or apologies for forget about it and on delay our food . Food quality was very poor and everything on my plate was cold too . The worst steak I had . Working in hospitality myself …. This was a very poor service and very poor on food . If would have been busy I understand but when u have a very few customers in there shouldn’t be such a mistakes . ( maybe the Chefs shouldn’t be keep spending their time outside keep smoking and chatting would help on improvement )

Really excellent place for a party. Service was excellent throughout. Food was good. Would highly recommend it to anyone

Super busy during lunch times. Massive queue to get through however it does move fairly quick as there’s few moments of staff serving being as effective as possible. No place to sit around so had to join a table with already someone on it, not much privacy. Got 2 portions of fish with chips with some sides, very low quality of the whole portion really. If I knew, I would have eaten elsewhere and actually enjoyed it. For an occasional visit I don’t mind but still, there’s better options around I’m sure. If I was a staff there and relied on this type of food on a daily (hopefully it’s better and they actually spice things up) it would have been quite disappointing.

Disgusted! Oldish person behind the counter was grumpy and rude from the start. He was packing the food and I requested for 1 pickled chilli which is sort of standard at all kebab shops. He went mad at that request and started rambling away if everybody asks he will never have enough and what not. I told him give if he wants or it's alright. He packed the food in a rush and left. I swear the kebabs were as horrible in taste as he was! They were tasting stale and my son described it as yuck!! We threw the kebabs halfway. Worst tenner I have spent on food in a while. Please avoid unless you have lots of money to waste and like a rude person serving.

Terrible service, ordered tea which normally comes in a teapot, but got it in take awaycup, because not enough staff. Usual students blocking tables with one drink all day, won't becoming back, might as well go to costa
