About Istanbul Grill
Istanbul Grill is a Turkish restaurant on Ashton Rd in Manchester, with its dining room at 10-12. The kitchen serves its sizzlers still sizzling at the table, each one accompanied by salad and rice. For a starter, the sharing platter brings stuffed vine leaves, falafel and a feta parcel together with dips and pita, which suits a table of several people. A mixed grill platter covers the grill side of the menu for those who want a range of meats on one plate. Bookings are taken.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the sharing platter, a starter of stuffed vine leaves, falafel, feta parcel and dips with pita, with the feta cheese in filo pastry and sweet chilli sauce also named. Close behind are the sizzlers, described as tender meat in a peppery onion sauce served with salad and rice, and a kebab one reviewer found succulent and not dry. Several mention birthday celebrations, cocktails and an Irish coffee, and staff who were friendly, attentive and accommodating of dairy and gluten free dinners. The caveats centre on the meat. One reviewer called the mixed grill platter a bit tasteless, another found the meatball awful, the doner cut too thick and the chicken pre-made, and a family noted the meat arrived not hot, with the butter sitting in a cold block on top. One reviewer also criticised the owner as rude and unprofessional after a customer mistake. Another reviewer's return visit was a clear improvement on an average first one, with hot food and plenty of it.

“Third time coming here tonight was for a double birthday celebration the food was amazing as always staff were friendly and so accommodating as we had dairy and gluten free dinners the staff helped make the evening thank you so much”

“Me and my family had an amazing experience at Istanbul Steak and Grill house last weekend. From the moment we walked in, the staff were so warm and attentive even though we were a bit late and we absolutely apologise. The staff were absolutely fantastic and food was good each dish came out beautifully presented and full of flavor except the mixed grill platter which was a bit tasteless. The staff also were being attentive and giving us space to enjoy. I would like to say the owner ( Man) shouldn’t be rude or childish and he should keep communicate in professional manner at all times towards customers. If a customer makes mistake stay professional because as the owner of the restaurant you must protect the reputation of your business.”

“We came here for a birthday and it did not disappoint! The sharing platter was a great starter. You get a selection of stuffed vine leaves, falafel, feta parcel, and a range of dips (with pita too!!). This is a great starter to share, I highly recommend! The sizzling sizzlers were incredible. The meat was so tender, and cooked in a delicious peppery onion sauce. The dishes came out sizzling (obviously), and it all tasted so good. each dish was accompanied with salad and rice. Huge thumbs up. This was my first time here, and i will be coming back. service and food was great (plus great cocktails too!!). There were at least 3 other birthday celebrations going on that evening, so this is obviously THE SPOT for a celebration. I’d highly recommend if you’re looking to book for a special day, or if you just want a delicious meal. I can’t wait to go back.”
