GASTRONOMY REVIEW: Istanbul Grill Restaurant, Prestwich, Manchester.


With my afternoon event running late, and my evening work looming ever closer, thus time being of the essence, a chance find on the main road through Prestwich, turned out to be the jewel in the crown of the day. Arriving about 5:30pm on a Sunday without a booking, a table was promptly found for us, and after telling the staff that we had only one hour in which to dine before we had to leave, they were more than happy to accommodate, and indeed the main meals were served to us within 15 minutes of ordering. 

Spotlessly clean and well appointed, this restaurant seemed somehow out of place on the urban main street through an unprepossessing Prestwich town centre. The menu was not extensive, but all the dishes were authentic Turkish or eastern Mediterranean cuisine, and the staff were all friendly, polite, and more than happy to help.

Simply because we were pushed for time, we ordered only a main course and a drink; but the food servings were extremely generous and so this was more than sufficient for our needs at the time. I ordered sea bass, and my companion lamb chops; both of which were served with salad and rice. As I have already stated, the potions were extremely generous, and both lamb and sea bass were cooked to absolute perfection. 

This is certainly a restaurant that we will return to when we have more time to relax, enjoy the food properly, and try their starters and desserts too!
