Reviews
A wonderful restaurant with a Turkish specialty located in the tourist area of the neighborhood. The service was extraordinary, the staff very kind and attentive. Inside, the restaurant is pleasantly furnished with large spaces, partitions and oriental ornaments. The food is prepared in plain sight, with a glass wall between the serving area and the kitchen. You will see the cook working with the fire to prepare the food but without the smell of the food. The food has very good prices (I am attaching a receipt) and the portions are very large. Don't take two dishes because you might not be able to eat everything and that's a shame. They are very civil compared to other restaurants in London that I have been to because the services (tips) are not included in the receipt. You have to add separately what you think it's worth. And it really deserves it. They are very attentive. The toilets are mixed, modest but clean. We went on Saturday around 5 PM and it wasn't crowded, no reservation needed. A restaurant worth trying.
The food is amazing, we had the mezze. The beef and the chicken were so tender and juicy, let alone for the rest of the food accompanying this delicious feast! The tea and the coffee were delicious!!! The staff were so attentive and ready to help in any way possible! 100% recommend it!! You must come by and try this amazing restaurant!
We came here on Thursday. We arrived at Hampton Court station around noon. On our way to Hampton Court Palace. We were a bit hungry so we found this place, we saw the lunch menu sign outside. It was quite a good deal. One course is £9.8, two courses is £12.8. We went in and checked the menu. It looked quite standard, so we choose to eat here. The restaurant manager let us seat whatever we wanted. The waiting staff is very kind and friendly. The food is mainly Turkish food and there are some pasta and pizza dishes. We ordered pesto penn and meat wrap. The portion is good enough. The pesto penn is refreshing and herby. The meat wrap is also juicy but the meat is slightly chewy. We got very full up after the meal! The outdoor seating area is very close to the main role. Although no service charge, the service was very good.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had the most amazing dinner at Istanblu last night! This place is a real gem right by Hampton Court. The moment we walked in, we were greeted like old friends by the owner, who took the time to explain the menu and made fantastic recommendations. The food is the real deal - exactly like what I had when visiting Istanbul last year. We started with their mezze platter, and the freshly baked bread was still warm when it reached our table. For mains, we tried the mixed grill and the chicken şiş was so tender it melted in our mouth. What really makes this place special is the staff. They're attentive without being overbearing, and you can tell they genuinely care about making sure you have a great experience. When we couldn't decide on dessert, our waiter brought us small samples of baklava and to try - such a thoughtful touch! The portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. We'll definitely be coming back - already planning to bring the whole family next weekend! Tip: Don't skip the Turkish coffee at the end of your meal - it's the perfect way to finish your dinner.
