Really big portions with great taste. Haven't had Turkish food before so can't comment on the authenticity but as far as food goes its pretty good.
Absolutely amazing food, possibly the best Turkish meal I've had in England. Friendly staff too and very reasonably priced. We'll definitely be back if ever passing!
Café Istanbul is located in Lancaster town centre and as one would have guessed, serves Turkish cuisine. It is a simple, comfortable, non-flashy, casual dining restaurant & seeing Lahmacun (Turkish lavash with mince,like a thin crust pizza) on their menu was a good enough reason to give it a try. The ambience was comfortable with music, portraits and lamps giving it a good central Eurasian vibe. The Turkish coffee is an expresso shot served in dainty porcelain set. Small, but packs a punch, a Caffeine high is guaranteed. The Lahmacun was flavourful and the mix shish, a combination of lamb shish, chicken shish & lamb doner was great as a meal. The lamb & chicken shish felt a tad under seasoned but the lamb doner compensated for it. All meals were served with a generous serving of vegetables & greens, which did our gut some good. We were happy with the meal and would certainly recommend the lahmacun. We did have a small scare because they accepted only cash payment. (Did not notice the board) We are hoping it was a temporary glitch due to the card machine not functioning that day.
