Istanbul Restaurant

Walk down Freeman Street towards the docks and you'll find Istanbul doing what it does best: unfussy, flavour-packed Turkish cooking. The room's unpretentious, the kind of place where families pile in on Friday nights and groups of lads come for the kebabs after the pub. You're getting grilled meats, proper meze, and the sort of hospitality that makes you feel welcome whether you're a regular or first-timer. It's the real deal—none of that diluted nonsense you get elsewhere.
