Istanbul Shawarma — Restaurant in Bolton

In short: This is genuinely the best kebab spot in Greater Manchester. You can have their kebabs as a healthy, nutritious meal at any point of the day.

The meat is real meat, very well marinated and grilled just right, the portion in either the wrap or the sandwich is excellent. The choice of fresh salad, including lettuce, mix of chopped cucumber and tomato with herbs, onions, olives, jalapeños and red cabbage is excellent. Sauces are absolutely delicious. You could say everything is the star of a show, but how many small kebab places have you been to, that do their own bread? The bread used for their wraps and sandwiches is made on the spot in the tandoor and the oven. This is honestly some of the best kebab bread I’ve ever had. They also do their own hummus, which is excellent and you can get a big tub of for £2,50. After having a meal there you feel as if you’re doing your body a favour, rather than a guilty pleasure.

All of above with prices that are absolutely on point, means that this has become my go to for kebabs. It almost pains me to write such a glowing review, as the place is plenty busy already, but if you are ever on the area and like good food, you must come here.

PS. If you like lamb you might want to get there before 4pm, as it might...

We always pass by this shop and saw many customers inside all the time, finally we visit it yesterday. I was attracted by the two meat rolling all the time with real fire. We went there when there are no customers dine in so we can stay there for dinner. We took time to understand the menu and decide as this was our first visit. My first impression is the food is quite cheap. Unfortunately lamb was not available. When I get the food, the chicken shawarma is juicy and just tastes great. I wish the portion of meat can be larger. The chip is just normal chip but freshly drip fried when we order. There salad is fresh, you can choose everything but I didn’t choose red cabbage and olive as I dislike. The naan was made by themselves not from supermarket so it’s very soft. While we were eating, the shop is full of customers again. One chicken shawarma wrap £4.5, one chicken shawarma chips and salad £6.5 and...

The best chicken kebab I’ve ever had. From outside this just looks like any other kebab place, but that couldn’t be more wrong.

It’s always very busy from what I’m guessing, and difficult to get hold of the elusive lamb (it’s our personal mission to come at a time when it’s available)

Lots of people working on counter, but very efficiently.

Meat cooked to perfection, salad so fresh and tasty, fresh breads and again the best hummus I’ve had.

Prices more than reasonable!

It’s a solid 11/10 from us and we won’t be going anywhere else for our kebabs.

Also nice little sitting area.

Looking forward to trying the pizzas and every single thing else on the menu.

Honestly amazing food, so happy I’ve finally found my regular kebab place in manchester. Will be seeing you again soon no doubt...
