It’s no surprise that us Mancs love a good kebab, in all its forms, so for us, a Turkish restaurant is a no-brainer. Now, family owned, Lancashire favourite Turkish restaurant Ottoman Bar & Grill has opened its second venue in Manchester city centre at Affinity Living’s Riverside apartment community in Salford, and our bellies are growling just thinking about it.
Ottoman Bar & Grill are specialists in authentic Turkish cuisine and will be serving up breakfast, lunch, and dinner at their new destination venue at Riverside. Guests can expect traditional Turkish cuisine, all made from scratch and with the highest quality ingredients. Menu highlights will include Ottoman’s famous chicken and lamb shish kebabs, served with Turkish rice and Arabic salad, freshly made bread and homemade hummus, and specials such as the Lamb Butterfly.
Having built up a solid reputation and fanbase in their home town of Chorley, the Affinity Living restaurant is the second venue for Ottoman and their first in Manchester. The luxurious restaurant, spanning 2,863 sq ft, combines the contemporary with traditional, and blends the vibrancy and colour of Turkish culture with a chic and modern aesthetic.
The design features striking purple, blue, and green colourways, a bespoke bar complemented by custom made neon lights, and elegant pampas grass and flowers suspended from the ceiling.
Ottoman Bar & Grill also joins independent bakery and coffee shop Loaf MCR, situated at Affinity Living Riverview, giving residents access to some of Manchester’s best-loved, independent hospitality brands, right on their doorstep.
Ugur Ansin, director at Ottoman Bar & Grill, said: “We cannot wait to open the doors to our Manchester city centre restaurant in Affinity Living Riverside next year. We’ve built a solid reputation in Chorley for providing the best quality food alongside a second-to-none service.
“My team has invested their decades of experience as butchers and working in Turkey’s top restaurants into Ottoman − creating a truly authentic dining experience. Manchester was the natural next step for us in opening a second restaurant, and we’ve got big plans to take our dining experience nationwide in the next few years.”
