  “I had a wonderful experience at Sultanahmet Bistro. The place is clean, beautifully designed, and offers a perfect blend of traditional Turkish charm and a modern atmosphere. The coffee was outstanding—rich, smooth, and perfectly prepared with a beautiful crema. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the service was quick and professional. Whether you’re stopping by for a coffee or spending time with friends, the atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great coffee, excellent service, and a warm ambiance. I’ll definitely be coming back! ☕✨”

  “I’d been meaning to try Sultanahmet Bistro & Grill for a while, and I’m glad I finally did. It’s easily one of the best Turkish restaurants I’ve been to in Manchester. One thing that confused me at first was the entrance. I thought the café and restaurant were two separate places, but they’re actually the same business, with the café downstairs and the restaurant upstairs. The service was brilliant from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, attentive and happy to help, which made the whole meal even more enjoyable. We were brought complimentary bread, olives and two dipping sauces before our food arrived. The bread was fresh with a soft middle and a slight crisp on the outside, and both sauces paired with it really well. I ordered the Kiymali Pide with an Ayran, both for the first time. The pide was full of flavour, the minced meat was well seasoned, and the bread was fresh and baked perfectly. If you’ve never tried Ayran before, it’s a savoury yoghurt drink that’s really refreshing and went surprisingly well with the meal. To finish, I went for a baklava. It was fresh, crispy, full of pistachio and not overly sweet, exactly what I was hoping for. The restaurant itself is also worth mentioning. There’s plenty of seating upstairs, so it would be a great spot for families or larger groups, and the atmosphere felt relaxed without being too loud. Overall, I can definitely see why this place gets recommended so often. Great food, genuinely good service and fair prices. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu.”

  “A cozy place to chill out and enjoy delicious Turkish sweets. The baklava and konafa are very grounded, especially if you have them with Turkish tea. Konafa is served with ice cream for £7 which is a decent combo. It's worth a try.”

  “Nice deco, has seating inside. Waited around for a bit, there was a young lady at counter but it was bit hard getting hold of her to place order. Turkish bistro but they never had the Turkish tea I wanted so just ordered San Sebastian cake. But they have two types. Expensive home/fresh made one about £12 and a cheaper store/frozen one about £5.5 Bought the cheaper one. Was served up fast, the lady seemed a bit rushed. The cheesecake slice itself was more on the small side compared to other ones ive had. Taste wise it was nice, the texture was ok, little bit grainy though. I would prefer (esp if dining in) to have the warm melted chocolate sauce which you pour over the cake yourself.. like they do in Istanbul. Not bad. They have fair few other cakes and bakery items. Service needs bit of improvement.”
