I had been planning to visit this place for quite a while, and we finally managed to come on Sunday. According to their weekly menu, we ordered the Chicken kabse, and it exceeded my expectations. It was incredibly delicious..from the pictures, I initially thought it might be a heavy meal, but it was surprisingly light and wellbalanced. The small details, including the almonds in the rice and the selection of spicy were excellent. I highly recommend this place. In addition, the prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food they offer and the area. I will be back definitely.
Wonderful food and welcoming service. We were greeted very warmly by the owners who gave us a helpful overview of the food. In addition to the delicious biryani he also gave us samples of mint tea and falafel from the sister restaurant downstairs. The dessert is not to be missed.
If you’re looking for incredible Middle Eastern 🫶🏻 especially Palestinian; food, Atara is on another level. I’ve honestly never experienced flavors like this before. Every single bite was pure pleasure. Each spoon, each fork… just amazing. The chicken was unbelievably good, perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Everything was spiced so well, you can really taste the care in every dish. Huge thanks to Achraf for making the experience even better. The service was just as impressive as the food. And whatever you do, don’t leave without trying the Kunafa. It’s absolutely insane , especially with tea. We didn’t even manage to take a picture because we devoured it immediately 😄 Highly, highly recommend 💕💕💕💕
If you’re looking for real homemade Palestinian food, this is a place you have to check out in Istanbul 🇵🇸✨ Every day they serve different dishes, and everything sells out fast — which tells you how good it is! Everything tastes authentic. The lady in charge is an absolute sweetheart, and the staff are all so warm and welcoming 💛 Definitely recommended for everyone!
