This is a must eat for any foodie visiting Istanbul. It is not in the middle of all the other tourist attractions and you have to make a reservation however you can never be disappointed.
The food is amazing and the fact that you order it by the meter makes it even more unique. For families they have high chairs and even a kids play room monitored by an adult.
Incredible lunch with piping hot hummus with sausage in it (they were kind enough to being another without meat for my vegetarian co-worker), two yogurt dips, a tomato based dip, a salad, eggplant plate, beans, cheese, and butter plates to mix/match/make your own little appetizers together with their HEAVENLY fresh, warmly toasted, light and thin bread. The main course (if you have room for more food after the HUGE starter) is a mix of lamb (on the bone), chicken (boneless), chicken wing, and kofte (meatball type meat) kabap meats with thin tortilla type bread to wrap it up in. Then dessert (really?! more food?!) was plums (about 3 per person), green plumbs (about 3 per person), cherries (12 or so each person), a big slice of watermelon, a slice of melon, and a piece of baklava. SO MUCH FOOD!!!! Price out the door was 45 TL each person (still water to drink included). I might add that the ambiance of the restaurant is also what makes this place so great. Lots of windows, open air flowing through in the sunshine, summer months, and great staff. To conclude, excellent food (top priority), lots of food, great prices, great ambiance, great staff.
It is kind a good place to eat but recently they have minimised and limited their starter and sweets for fixed menus.. Price is 85 TL per person. DO NOT CELBERATE BIRTHDAYS IN THIS PLACE BECAISE THEIR CONTRIBUTION IS ZERO.
Main course is ok and the sweets is very limited for the price you pay. If you calculate how much worth of money you actually should be paying in this place per person is as follows
Kebab/ person = 25 TL
Starters/ person = 12 dishes/4 persons x 7TL/ Dish =21 TL on starters/ person ...max
Sweets/Person= not more than 15 TL...max
Soft Drinks and others/ person ==open
Total amount/ person = 25+ 21+ 15= 61 TL compared to what you paid of 85TL drinks are free.
That is what you may pay in other places for the food we received on this resturant
So it is kind of acceptable price
A must visit Turkish restaurant in Istanbul, especially for meat lovers!
All-inclusive meal offers (appetizers, soup, mix of typical kebaps, salads and plenty of sweets including baklava) for reasonable prices. A decent option if you don't know what exactly to eat, with this you can taste many dishes at once
Pushy waiters trying too hard for upsell. Lahmacun was good 7/10 but kebabs and grill was pretty horrendous 2/10. Not too pricy but food is pretty cheap too. Wrong management. Will not visit again.
If you wish to seat in a corner, spending time either with your family or friends, if you dream to have wonderful meals then this is the right place to be.
