The food from The Istanbul TR is perhaps some of the WORST food I have had in a long time. The quality was dreadful, it lacked flavour and quality. I will not be ordering from this establishment again. What a waste of 30£. Overpriced too

The quality of food has become so bad which is a shame. Last two times I’ve ordered from here the wrap was completely burnt. Tonight I got a tiny half piece of rock hard bread for the hummus and the mixed grill I ordered was extremely small a few pieces of chicken and salad with hardly any rice.

Our family of thirteen really enjoyed a fantastic meal with a wonderful selection of hot and cold meze and mixed grill platter. The food was wonderfully presented and tasted better than most Turkish restaurants that we eat at in London. Fantastic halal food, generous portions and a wonderful place for a family meal if you are passing through Londonderry.

We ordered a large portion of the mix grill, which was about 50 pounds. The portion was very large. It might be full for two people. It is very suitable for three people to order this dish. The chicken tastes very tender and not spicy, and the mutton has a very light and salty taste. Moderately light. A BBQ restaurant worth trying

The shawarma wrap and ayran drink I had were both incredibly authentic and delicious. This gem is conveniently located near the heart of Londonderry, making it a must-visit for anyone craving Middle Eastern cuisine. The friendly service was a delightful bonus. The restaurant even has a restroom on-site, a convenient touch. I wholeheartedly recommend this place!

We arrived at 930pm last night which was a very busy Saturday night in Derry.Restaurant states it is open until 10pm which to me means taking orders until 10pm.We had previously eaten here having come down from Belfast and enjoyed it.On this occasion we arrived and it was obvious we weren’t wanted.Begrudgingly we were served..kebabs were mediocre with more iceberg lettuce than meat…staff began turning off the lights…despite telling the owner we hadn’t enjoyed our experience and we wouldn’t be back he didn’t seem too bothered…it was very disappointing and we won’t be back!

Honesty, I hate leaving negative comments and it's tasty food but the protein is padded out with salad and veg, pretty costly too for what you get. Enjoyed this place originally, but that Lamb shish was hard going, really hard to chew and could only eat some of it.

A serene and spacious establishment offering a delightful Mediterranean culinary experience. I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service, efficient management, and meticulous hygiene maintained throughout the restaurant. While the kitchen equipment visible from the tables could benefit from some improvement, the warm hospitality and enticing offers, particularly the exotic Ceylon Turkish Tea, were truly remarkable. Overall, I rate my experience an impressive 8.8/10.

As a Turkish myself, I can tell the food was really authentic and delicious. We really loved it all. When it comes to service, I don't think the waiter knows a lot about customer service. We found him rude in many ways which is a shame because the food was amazing. Can't help but mention it. Also FYI the lunch meal deals they advertise are not available during the weekends.

If you have brown skin, expect racism Our dining experience was tainted by the disgustingly discriminatory behavior of the waiter (bald and fat). He treated us rudely because we're Indian, favoring white customers instead. Despite our attempts to engage, he ignored us, banged our food dish, and neglected to serve basic water promptly. The owner should take accountability for their staff's behavior and ensure equal treatment for all customers, regardless of race. The food was amazing, 10/10, thanks to the talented older chef.

Fantastic food and very friendly and helpful staff. Too much nice food to chose from, but manager kindly recommended a bespoke selection of starters and mains. Picture of main meal attached. Oh boy, it was soooo good. Fresh salad, rice, bulgar wheat, and amazing selection of flame grilled meats and superb chicken/lamb casserole. My wife did not like lamb until tonight, literally the first time she thought lamb tasted great. Meat seasoned perfectly, full of flavour. Veggie options are also great, was my first time enjoying flame grilled halumi! They also make a very nice baclava for desert. Would highly recommend, nothing else like it in the city. Edit to original review: We've returned a few times and quality of food and service has both deminished. On our last visit i complained that the casserole sauce tasted like unseasoned passata (shop bought sauce would have had more flavour), the guy at the till just nodded and smiled and proceeded to charge full price, even though I ate little of it. So sorry to see what was a great restaurant let standards slip so low. I can only advise to avoid.

Ordered kabab wd bread but was not able to eat as was too heavy asked the staff to pack with bread. Came home wdout bread paid 3 pound for that bread. The best part is u came to relax urself the staff will come and discus their life won’t recommend. Overpriced nill service and food is shhhhttt.

I start by saying that we all enjoyed the food. This was our second visit to the restaurant. As you’ll read from my reviews I love Turkish / Middle Eastern food. Our first visit we over ordered and ended up with too much food so we ended up with a take away as well! So went last night for a meal and we all enjoyed the food! Tasty and good value for money. I would have given five stars but I have decided to give a four star review based on the service from our waiter. The service during the meal was fine and the drinks and food all arrived promptly. At the end when I asked for the bill we waited a long time and it didn’t arrive so in the end I went up to the bar area to pay the bill. His first question to me was I was I going to leave a tip?I said that we would leave a cash tip (as we always do!) He then presented the card machine to me but I couldn’t see the displays so I asked him to turn it around when he turned around it was increased by £10! I reminded him that we were going to leave a cash tip and that he needed to amend the amount on the machine….. After much confusion and playing around with the machine he wasn’t able to resolve it and one of his colleagues had to sort it out. I did leave a slightly bad taste and in the end we didn’t leave a tip! It’s a shame because it was such a good evening and ended up feeling rather disappointed! Good food!

I googled ‘best chip shops in Derry’ and the first two on the list were shut so we came here. Reasonable sized car park. Entrance to shop is up a small ramp and through manual doors. As you enter you place your order at the counter just inside the door and then move to the other end to collect. Takeaway only no dine in. I ordered 2 battered sausages and chips, Cod and chips and for the dog 2 plain sausages; altogether cost £18.50 which I thought was reasonable. I asked the lady if she could cut up the sausages for the dog which she did. The batter on the sausages was crispy and not greasy and a huge bag of freshly cook chips. The lady that served us was friendly and helpful. The chips were amazing, I would even go as far as saying that they are the best chips I’ve had in a long while. Next time I’m in Derry I won’t bother with the other shops on the list; I’ll just come here.
