  Great experience at Istanbul Kitchen! We had a lovely time in Cheltenham. The atmosphere was very pleasant and welcoming. The food was overall very good. We especially enjoyed the liver and calamari starters both were delicious! For the main course, the Lamb Shank was good, though we felt the seasoning could have been a bit more bold. The Turkish coffee presentation was fantastic. We are very happy with our visit!

  Oh, wow!! I had the most amazing meal, served by a lovely, attentive waiter. I had Kuru Fasulye and some spinach, Turkish bread...and a baklava to die for! I cannot wait to be back. Highly reccomend for lunch as apparently they are very busy in the evenings.

  What a Turkish delight we have here. I came here with my two sisters for an evening meal and we'll definitely be going back again. The staff were all very welcoming, greeted us with a smile and always on hand to help or check how the meal was going. Then there's the real star, the food. The menu has a lot of wonderful options and having a small plate or main plate option is a great way to get a taste of the menu or for those with a smaller appetite. Looking forward to going back.

  Dropped in to try this place as in the area with work, the reviews read well, great place very authentic, if not a little cool but lovely location. Ordered and was able to change the mixed main and what great food, starter was brilliant and the own made sauce was great so tasty infact very tasty the main was cooked to perfection, rice great and fresh salad all presented brilliantly and the waitress was very nice friendly and helpful when ordering and checking prior to bringing the mains out. Give it a try and enjoy..
