Tucked away on Shackerdale Road in Wigston, Istanbul BBQ House brings the heart of Turkish barbecue straight to Leicester. The moment you step in, there's a cozy, relaxed vibe that makes it perfect whether you're dropping by for a solo lunch or settling in for a family dinner. The warm lighting, the sizzle from the open grill, and the scent of charcoal-kissed meat make it clear you’re in for something special.
Let’s talk food, because that’s what Istanbul BBQ House does best. The Mixed Kebab is a solid starting point-juicy chunks of lamb and chicken, perfectly marinated, served with soft Turkish bread that soaks up every bit of flavor. If you’re after something that balances richness with freshness, the Iskender Kebab is a local favorite: thinly sliced doner served over cubed bread, topped with tomato sauce and a generous dollop of yogurt. It’s indulgent in the best way possible.
Craving variety? The Kebab Platter and Mixed Lamb Combo are ideal for sharing or just treating yourself to a bit of everything. And if you’re the kind of person who believes a meal isn’t complete without chicken wings, the Chicken Wings and Chicken Kebab combo delivers both spice and smoky satisfaction.
Of course, no Turkish meal is complete without Turkish Tea. Sip it slowly, especially after dessert-or in this case, after a hearty helping of Butter Chicken or a refreshing Cold Brew if you’re steering toward a more modern twist. And for a quick bite or a lighter option, they’ve got small plates and healthy dishes that don’t skimp on flavor.
What sets Istanbul BBQ House apart is how well it adapts to different diners. You’ll see locals grabbing takeout on their lunch break, families dining in for dinner, and even solo foodies enjoying a peaceful moment with a cup of tea and some Turkish Bread. The restaurant proudly offers halal food, which is a major plus for many in the community, and they cater to late-night cravings, making it a go-to after-hours spot.
Accessibility is clearly a priority here. The wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating ensure everyone can enjoy the experience without hassle. Whether you're dining in or having your order delivered straight to your door, the service is smooth and efficient.
The menu isn’t just about bold flavors-it’s about balance. You’ll find quick bites that still feel crafted, healthy options that satisfy, and desserts that bring the meal to a sweet end. Think layers of textures, thoughtful spice blends, and meats grilled to smoky perfection. The Shish Kebab Box is another hit, ideal for when you want something easy yet deeply flavorful.
There’s something comforting about how Istanbul BBQ House combines traditional Turkish recipes with modern-day convenience. Whether you’re seated at a table with friends or unwrapping your takeaway on the couch, the flavors stay consistent-rich, authentic, and always satisfying. And with lunch and dinner both well-covered, it easily slips into your weekly rotation.
In a city filled with global cuisine, Istanbul BBQ House finds its voice through simplicity, heart, and flame-grilled excellence. From the perfectly charred meats to the warm hospitality, it's one of those places where the food does all the talking-and it speaks your language, one skewer at a time.
