Abdullah AYTEKINOctober 18, 2015Different type and taste of Turkish breakfast. Nice atmosphere and delicious olive, cheese, butter and so many especially you should try different type of home-made jams. Staff very helpful
Isa BellaJune 4, 2016You will want to come back feeling curious about the rest of the dishes you could not try! Efficient and kind attention you feel well supported. At night it's just perfect for a date.
Maxine BotesazanSeptember 2, 2018Breakfast is amazing! Everything is delicious. Chef is half Persian half Turkish so there are some great Persian dishes on the menu 💗
Serkan SomerNovember 18, 2019Excellent tasting menu, really loved the liver, small plates, tahin ice cream and... simply everything :) Reasonably priced food and wine menu. Do book in advance. Highly recommended.
Daniel VasilyevFebruary 15, 2023Interesting and delicious food (it’s worth to try the set-menu), friendly and well-mannered service, pretty quick too as well. Their space looks good, but not all the tables are comfortable
Lianna DzienciolApril 28, 2019Tasting menu- love the tahini ice cream omg ! Everything was amazing it’s a modern twist on Turkish food. Best restaurant in Istanbul!
Greta DalyaprakNovember 29, 2023Love the place, love stuff and amazing fine dining food! The only negative thing I have to say that chef should change menu more often. More than 2 years there is still many same dishes on the menu..
Can KJune 4, 2019A twist on the traditional Turkish meze cuisine. Venue is a bit dark, so you miss the fabulous Istanbul view, but food and wine tasting menu deserves it for a night.
Thiago MaiaOctober 15, 2015Really nice place. The staff is nice and the food is delicious. Had the poached egg with smoked yogurt and it was really nice
- Josh MateoJune 27, 2014Definitely try the Dudi (Persian) rice! It's off the wall with tons of spices. And the lamb just falls right off the bone. Super casual vibe, very relaxing.
Can GunsirayDecember 30, 2014Must get the tasting menu. A never ending feast of everything on the menu. Especially if you're not familiar with turkish cuisine, you'll taste things you normally would -mistakenly- not order.
Jökull Sólberg AuðunssonJune 29, 2013Mediterranean meets french cuisine. Great sweetbreads and artichokes. Menu had no dessert, but the chef made us an amazing mousse au chocolat with chili and salt flakes.
Selin KayacanOctober 2, 2013Interesting mezze combination with a touch of modernity. Perfect service (English speakers- practical for foreigners). "I feel like home" kind of place. Nice!
Anke NehrenbergNovember 20, 2019Mezze! Try the degustation menu. Easy to replace everything with vegetarian options.
They really know how to give the dishes that final touch. Enjoy Turkish and Persian fusion ;)- AydlAugust 24, 2019A variety of delicious mezze. A romantic atmosphere with a feeling of an oriental touch. Definitely worth a visit.
Faysal AintrazyJune 12, 2017If you didnt try the eggplant here you didnt try anything. One of the tastiest in istanbul
Best mezze in Galata. Warm feta with mastic and pistachio, smoked rice and wild rice with barberries - must be tried !
Dina ElShenoufySeptember 18, 2021Possibly one of the cutest cosiest spots in town. Maybe ‘the’ most.. cocktails are select but done really well.- Gozde Gundogdu TaskinDecember 20, 2014Try the tasting menu, great food, very cozy atmosphere! Zehir zemberek & isli pazi & yaprak ciger favorilerimiz..
Simply delicious! lntimate neighbourhood restaurant with inventive and memorable mezze selection
Angelina VlachouApril 10, 2015It's not touristic at all. Romantic environment, cosy atmosphere, prices quite elevated.
Karel B.May 17, 2014Breakfast is delicious but even when it is not that crowded the service is too slow!
Kendra LamJanuary 27, 2014Pretentious and overpriced. The sweet bread was good, otherwise it was a waste of money and stomach space eating there. Ate there coz of all the good reviews, but Was totally disappointed.
