In a paragraph
Istanbul BBQ is a Brook Street Turkish restaurant near Chester station for charcoal-grilled kebabs, mezze, lamb, chicken, seafood, halal-friendly meals, takeaway, groups and family dinners.
What it's like
Istanbul BBQ is a long-running Brook Street Turkish grill, and it knows its lane: charcoal, warm bread, mezze, rice, big plates, groups and station-side practicality.
Come hungry for Turkish charcoal
This is not the prettiest Chester setting and it does not need to be. The appeal is food that arrives with the grill still in the room, portions that do not whisper, and a location that makes sense if you are arriving by train or staying near City Road.
Worth knowing
Istanbul BBQ is strong because it is direct: Turkish grill, generous plates, station-side usefulness. It is not delicate, hushed or postcard-pretty. Good.
