TWO DESTINATIONS
Two Chester Locations

Pepper Street
Chef Ali Karabacak
At the heart of Istanbul BBQ Chester, Chef Ali Karabacak brings together tradition, skill and a passion for exceptional food. His approach celebrates authentic Turkish flavours, perfectly grilled meats and warm hospitality.
A Taste of Istanbul
At Istanbul BBQ, we bring together the warmth of Turkish hospitality and the rich flavours of traditional charcoal cooking. From flame-grilled meats and vibrant meze to carefully crafted drinks, every visit is designed to be enjoyed around the table.
Now across two Chester locations, we invite you to discover our take on authentic Turkish dining.
“Been coming here for years and the quality is always top notch. The friendly atmosphere is second to none. The meats are always good quality and tender, the salads fresh & crisp, the mezze just fabulous. As for Ali's Turkish rice pudding, my husband is addicted.”

“We were visiting Chester and were looking around for somewhere to eat. We saw the menu outside and it looked good. We were welcomed in and the staff were friendly and helpful. We ordered hummus, sea bass and lamb kofte. The food was quick to arrive and everything was delicious. We could see the food being cooked behind us on the grill and everything was fresh.”

“Lovely friendly experience and staff very helpful helping choosing the delicious cuisine. I especially enjoyed the traditional lahmacun and ordered this on 2 consecutive evenings. We were staying in a hotel nearby and found ourselves being drawn during our 3 night stay to this wonderful warm restaurant. Cheers to all the staff”
