This is my second visit here, and both times suitably impressed…read more It's realm one for the meat eaters - particularly, as you might guess, lamb. Although there are some nice dishes for vegetarians the usual restricted choice prevails. However, as a meat eater. The choice is great :) The have an amazing selection of starters - and I can thoroughly recommend any of the kebabs or the lamb stuffed vine leaves. The mains are nicely presented and tasty with just the right amount of food. I like the fresh salad with a small portion of rice that tends to go along with whatever your choice of main might be. This time, it was the mixed grill - and it was very good. I am knocking off a single star, although it seems a bit mean, because the lamb chop in the grill was a little chewy. I should point out that the rest was very tender. Worth a visit.

I've only been here a couple of times, the first time I ate in and the serving time was very good…read moreas it was quite empty, there was only one other table full there. However this time, I got a takeaway on my way back from the cinema (the savoy, I would 100% recommend) and ordered it before I went to watch the movie and told them to have it ready for 8:30. I was early and ended up getting there at 8:15 so fair enough it shouldn't have to be ready for that time but I ended up getting the food at 8:40 and when I got back home I realised that I hadn't exactly got the food I wanted. They gave me about 5 boxes of rice instead of 2 of chips and 2 of rice. I also ordered the meze which should've been 2 of 3 different things, I ended up getting 2 of 2 different things but I did get a free garlic bread (because the order was over £20). This was a little annoying but the food that I did get was great so I would recommend.

Dinner for two people inc a side each + tea for only £15? Yes please, sign me up!…read more This offer sounded great, because how can you dine out for two for only £15 anywhere without the aid of a voucher these days? The catch? There somehow always is a catch, and that was we could only order off the grill section on the menu. So after looking through the "extensive menu", I ordered the Tavuk Sis (marinated cubes of chicken fillet) with rice and we ordered one of each of their baked breads, Pide and Lavash. Each of these grill mains comes with a freshly made salad. My main was disappointing, as my marinated chicken cubes were overcooked and slightly stringy. There was nothing special about the salad, pretty standard one. Only the lavash bread was quite nice, as it was a flat bread with a buttery surface. After dinner, we had some of the tea included in the voucher. I chose the hot Turkish apple tea, which was red when it arrived. Now the name doesn't suggest anything like "apple and berry" tea, and so wasn't clearly stated in the menu. The overall experience wasn't great, and having looked at the rest of the menu, when one of the waiters was getting a confirmation of what the voucher included, nothing grabbed my attention, so it's safe to say, I wouldn't be coming to dine in this restaurant again.

Istanbul Palace opened its doors a mere 8 months ago but has already started creating a buzz…read moreamongst local foodies. A Turkish restaurant with Iranian owners might seem a strange mix at first but the unique Persian themed establishment turned out to be a perfect scenario for a Eastern cuisine aficionado like me when I visited recently. The restaurant is surprisingly big with 75 covers and decor is nothing short of stunning. The walls adorn Persian art and each diner also gets to dine with their own unique table cover art. The food isn't bad either. Having chosen a weekday for my latest foodie adventure I wasn't expecting it to be overly busy and it wasn't. This meant I could have a proper gander, take plenty of pics and chat to the manager. It turned out to be a great choice resulting in a fantastic first impression which concluded with me letting the chef pick my two mains (Which at £12.95 I thought was decent value given the quality of the food) So, what was the food like? Well, I started with the 'Olivieh' which was a mild yet utterly delicious side to go with the Lamb sizzler main. At first it looked like a yogurt based chutney type concoction that usually goes with the lamb, but upon investigation turned out to be something much better. Made with shredded chicken, potatoes, egg and mixed with some mayonnaise the recipe seemed so simple yet laced with genius (According to my taste buds anyway) I'm definitely making the stuff at home and cheat claiming it as my own at my next shindig. The lamb sizzler was the main attraction however and boy was it box office. Cooked in some special sweet (Chinese style sauce) the meat was tender but had a barbecue like taste and the vegetables that were cooked and served with it were divine. The accompanying rice and salad complemented its taste perfectly and though I forget the name of the two sauces served on the side (I MUST have them again) they were sensational. The incredible, belly busting night was rounded off with a special home made ice cream. I'd never tasted anything like it. It was the culinary equivalent of some kind of weird yet wonderful foodie dream. It completely confused the hell out of my foodie senses. It looked like ice cream but tasted like.... hmmm how shall I put this.... a cross between Turkish delight, frozen yoghurt and ice cream. Daaaamn it was good though. The only downside was I was too full to finish it, doh! (The lamb sizzlerwas a sizable main and had wiped me out) The only slight downside to this place is its location in the heart of Stockport. Let's face it, it's not like everyone from Greater Manchester flocks here for a night out/dining out experiance when Friday comes knocking. But perhaps, just perhaps... Istanbul Palace can change that (They have a belly dancing entertainment night, which looks ace and I might check out) It certainly has changed my mindset about coming to these neck of the woods. It's a smashing little foodie hidden gem which is guaranteed to be not as busy and rowdy as most of the city centre haunts if you're looking to get away from the kitchen and dine out. Despite a bit of a parking nightmare on the road, it gets much better after office hours (After 6pm parking is free) when it's quietened down. With it being only 10 minutes walk away from Stockport train station (which in turn is around 10 minutes away from Piccadilly) it's not that difficult/time consuming to get to from the city centre. The bus routes are also quite good with the restaurant being 5 minutes walk from the central station. In fact I like the place so much I might register a yelp event for those interested in checking the place out with me when I return. So watch this space, or if you're not a space watcher check it out your yelpity yelp self!

Food is cooked over a charcoal grill and boy can you taste and smell it not to mention the fact they cook it in front of you. Meat is locally sourced and all the food tastes great. On this occasion I went for a mixed grill, 2 lamb chops, a kofta kebab, and 4 boned chicken wings, served with rice, a side salad and warmed bread. Prices are very reasonable I paid about £15 for the meal and boy did it fill me up. In addition to that the staff are great, very polite and well organised. The only negative things I have to say are that the salad was badly dressed very acidic and not much balance to the dressing. I would also prefer a better beer choice but that's just me being pedantic.

The grilled halloumi did what it said on the tin and was yummy and squidgy. We also ordered the spinach with yogurt dip which was really tasty and had a lovely texture. The mains were also good.

Everything came with white rice and salad. The portions were enormous. Two of us boxed up our leftovers to take home. The guys working there are friendly and the service was spot on. Definitely would come here again for a meal!
