Lovely Summers evening and birthday weekend so decided to saunter down to Istanbul grill with my…read moretwo daughters for Friday tea. It was 6pm so quiet as we arrived but soon began filling up. Creating a nice atmospheric vibe. The waiters were friendly and helped us choose a reasonably priced prosecco (21.50) we then chose a mezze starter for two see pic. Really simple and fresh salads , houmous taziki, aubergine dip, falafel n breads .enjoyed by all. We then chose the sharing mixed grill platter (29.95) for two but plenty for 3 with rice each an extra side of chips was unecessary and disappointing as oven chips. However the platter superceded and thoroughly enjoyed by us all . A nice surprise and at £72 for 3 with wine reasonable. Ps in the week 12.95 each for 2 courses.

Holy Guaca-Moley! I hath found my next best fav eatery in Manchester! Where do I start?…read more Ok, it's important to outline the bias from the off. I LOVE Turkey! It holds a special place in my heart. From the first visit, I fell in love with the culture, the people, the weather, the food, the Mediterranean (My fav sea) the night life, the history, the historical sites, the architecture, the markets, THE LOT! Any piece of Turkey I can find anywhere is therefore a fresh breath of air. Well, I found one in Urmston. Granted it has been open for a while (8 months and counting?) and my abstinence from visitation thus far is inexcusable. But ever since I stopped playing cricket in Urmston few summers ago, me venturing into these neck of woods has understandably diminished. That changed last night. Some logistics out the way first before we get to the nitty gritty. Parking can be a bit of a hassle as you approach Istanbul Grill Urmston. Its location on the corner of a busy junction also means if you're venturing here for the first time there's no room to loiter as you plan your next course of action. The following advice therefore will come in handy. Instead of following your satnav to the location, which will leave you in parking pickle. I suggest you input queen's road as a destination instead, or at least keep an eye out for it. This is a one way road directly opposite the restaurant which has plenty of free parking space in a residential area. (Note it might not be so free on a busy weekend) If you're approaching from Urmston train station Queens road won't be hard to find as it means you'll naturally merge into it. The venue used to be a run of the mill Indian buffet with uninspiring interior and a shabby shop front to say the least. Well shiver me timbers tintin, God damn! It has been completely transformed! The front of house looks sleeker, and as soon as you enter there is an instant feeling of Turkey. The music echoes across the large hallway with its high ceiling and chandelier. The place is huge (must be over 200 covers) The decor is colorful and warm carrying an escapism theme. We didn't feel like we were sat in a restaurant in Urmston but perhaps a restaurant cafe on a beach in Antalya. The food was exceptional. For starters we shared Corba (Home made vegetarian soup of the day-Lentil) Mezze platter and Patlican Salata (Aubergine salad with onion, pepper and garlic in tomato sauce). The Corba was arguably the best starter we had, soup was rich in texture and generous both in size of portion and flavour, perfectly complimenting the fresh Turkish bread. The aubergine salad is an old fav of mine and served in a handful of restaurants across Manchester. The mezze platter was more standard than out the ordinary but the koftas served with it were delicious. I had Karisik as a main which was a mixed charcoal grill (mixture of lamb chops, Kofte, chicken and lamb fillet chargrilled and served with rice and salad. I could barely get through half of it but it sure was finger lickin good. I had the rest for lunch the next day. For dessert I tried the Coffee & Walnut Gateau after I'd had time to process the quality of the main. The cake was incredible and how I managed to have it after my meatfest is a miracle in itself. I really wanted to try the Turkish coffee or tea but there was literally no room left for anything once I'd completed my foodie mission. Worry not Istanbul Urmston I shall be back.

The old railway building. Thanks yelp for making me aware. They have a lunch special with a selection of burgers and a chicken sandwich for £10 (at the time of this review 07/2023). That includes a side of fries. I noticed every restaurant that you walk In the host will ask you about any allergies or intolerances. If you let them know you're they will let you know what to avoid. Or if they do not know they will send you a manager who knows. There must have been a huge problem with allergies and it is a great way to avoid it. It is, in the beginning, a bit annoying until you realize it is actually a good thing (I wonder if Mcdonald's to the same - I'll might have to try that). So I ordered the chicken burger with a breaded fried chicken breast some black pepper mayo sauce some salad, Onions, and a slap of avocado. WOW - the nicely tasting breaded chicken was fried to perfection and it was a really big piece without drying out. Good job! the "burner" was definitely the combination of chicken and that avocado spread mixed in With the black Peppercorn mayonnaise - an almost perfect bite. The bun was not too big to get in the way of tasting what's important all other ingredients have been fresh and am tasty the fries also fried to a crisp state without being burned. Hands down a surprisingly great burger. Oh, I will be back - the service was five starts as well quick, knowledgeable, and friendly!

There is a car park on site which has enough room usually and there is also a drive through which I've never been through to be honest. Inside there is the counter on the left were you can order your food. They do various burgers, more range than McDonalds and better cooked in my opinion. You can order a meal and that usually comes with fries and a drink. You decide your drink at a special drinks counter which you fill yourself with what you want and how much ice you want. I also recommend onion rings as they are great value for what you get. Staff are freindly, there's plenty of space if you want to eat in and is always clean.

More often than not, the food is tasty and the restaurant is clean, although due to the lazy gits who can't be bothered to clear their rubbish away in the two bins provided, sometimes means that you need to get rid of it yourself if you want to sit in that area. I have had a couple of spats with staff in the past, but this was down to them not listening to me order my food properly or because they have slammed my food down because they are busy other than that, most of the staff are fine.

This time we went for the Father Cheesemas and the Run Rarebit Run burgers, both of which are current specials which I found to be pretty good. To start we had Nachos, which I was pleasantly surprised with as they were tasty but also a decent portion when compared to some places. The staff were very friendly and the food came quickly (although it was dead so I would expect so a little bit) I enjoyed this visit to Byron more than the previous time and would recommend. I would also comment on the pricing being maybe a little higher than ideal but if memory serves me correctly it's probably about the same as Solita which is just better overall.
