We had an absolutely delightful experience trying Turkish cuisine for the first time at this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome with their warm hospitality and attentive service.
The food was nothing short of amazing! The kebabs were perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of authentic flavors. For my mom, the vegetarian options were just as delicious, offering a great variety of fresh and well-seasoned dishes. The bread was incredibly soft and fresh, pairing beautifully with the flavorful dips and appetizers.
Everything from taste to quality was top-notch, and we truly appreciated the effort they put into every dish. This place is a must-visit for anyone looking for an authentic and memorable Turkish dining experience. We’ll definitely be coming back!- Service

We had a wonderful experience at Istanbul! The food was incredibly fresh! the lamb shish kebab was especially delicious, tender, and full of flavor. The portion sizes are very generous; we even ended up taking some leftovers home. The meze platter was a perfect choice to try a bit of everything and the portion for two was more than enough. Every single item tasted freshly made and authentic!We really like it!
The service was also outstanding, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. The whole place was clean and had a lovely, cozy atmosphere. We also tried Turkish red wine, which paired perfectly with the meal, it was smooth and rich!
We really enjoyed everything and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!- Wait time

My best restaurant in Louth, I order takeaway very often. The staff is very friendly. I have never had such delicious kebabs. The starters are very tasty. The Greek salad is a favorite for my son. Thank you for the large portions. And for the delicious fragrant bread.

Fantastic food. One of the best meals out in a long time. Recommend the so tasty lamb stew and there are great vegetarian options. The house wine was amazingly good and £15 a bottle is great value these days! Best of the UK Turkish restaurants we have been to over the years.

1st time visit, 4 of us for evening meal, must say was very happy with everything, service was great, the food was amazing, had never eaten any turkish food before, some recommendations from the owner helped. The portions are large and cooked to perfection. All in all a fantastic first visit and will definitely return

Thank you and hopefully see you again.
Fantastic food here, beautifully cooked and really unusual (unless you eat Turkish food all the time). Great atmosphere, clearly many regular customers, good service and doesn't break the bank.

Thank you for your lovely review 🤩 and see you again.
AMAZING SAUCES! I cannot speak to highly of the dishes here. We dilly-dallied before walking in the door - to our cost and we ordered our starter just after a table of eight had ordered their main courses. So were so ravenous before the bread came that we almost ate the table. But it was worth the wait! Just wonderful wonderful food and not too spicy either.

Thank you so much for your lovely review For all of us was a pleasure See you next time 😊
Very accommodating staff, there was a little wait for the food but they were very busy and when it arrived was worth the wait. The price was very good too. With it being so busy it's best to book a table.

The food was brilliant, quality, flavour and value for money. Good wine list. Lovely friendly staff. All procedures in place to feel safe and enjoy. We ate there three times in our week. Well worth a visit.
Probably the best place in Louth for a meal out. Around £15 a main, and the food is staggeringly good. Very tender lamb and chicken, the casseroles are magnificent, the hummus is glorious and the fresh bread is the best bread I've ever had, anywhere, period. Great service, great …More reviews
Probably the best place in Louth for a meal out. Around £15 a main, and the food is staggeringly good. Very tender lamb and chicken, the casseroles are magnificent, the hummus is glorious and the fresh bread is the best bread I've ever had, anywhere, period. Great service, great food. Very friendly too. I used to live opposite, and have had many fantastic meals there. If I have a friend from out of town visit Louth, I bring them here, and they've all loved it. Top notch. I'm a seafarer, and a foodie, and I've eaten at some very good places across the high and low ends of the restaurant spectrum, and this is my favourite place to eat, period.Called to book a table which was ready when I arrived.

Called to book a table which was ready when I arrived. Greeted warmly and shown to the table, whilst noticing a very relaxed atmosphere.
Drinks ordered promptly service with a smile.
Support offered to discuss options for ordering.
Mixed meze was absolutely delicious.
Main was equally as tasty lots of flavour and plenty of food.
Staff were very friendly and offered support throughout for whatever was asked.
I particularly noticed that the indoor flowers. The flowering cactus was amazing which I was given a cutting.
This was a great restaurant and was very friendly, with great food and service. Thank you so much.Opening hours
