From the charcoal
Cooked over fire.
The grill is at the heart of our kitchen.
Chicken shish, lamb, Adana kebab and house platters take on their depth and char over the coals, served alongside the meze, salads and breads that make a Turkish table complete.

The room
A dining room made to bloom.
Botanical walls, deep burgundy panelling and soft, inviting seating give Istanbul Thirsk its own sense of theatre. Colourful, atmospheric and designed for long lunches and late dinners.
Flowers are part of the room’s personality — not an afterthought.
