Amazing place to come and eat. Great hospitality and good level of English for any tourists. Highly recommended if you’re after local style homemade food!
The food is excellent with a good service . They understand our request of less meat and more salad even they let us to try a small portion of another meal, thank you guys.
From when we entered - delicious. Offered a sample as we walked in with tasty shawarma. From the rice pudding to iskender to the doner to the fall off the bone chicken, everything was cooked and made to perfection. Definitely recommend. Atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were friendly and very helpful.
We came here on a recommendation from a friend. And we were also craving for a local Döner. As soon as we arrived the staff showed us around and gave us a tour of their variety of food. Was not expecting that. We decided on having a sandwich Döner, meatballs in tomato rice, ayran and some beans ... Everything was amazing and affordable. Staff is very friendly. Totally recommend :)
The durum is niceee, I think it will be better if it comes with garlic yogurt, the kofte is excellent! Sucah a comfort food. The portion is not too big, so you can have several menu at once, price is compatible with the food quality and portion size. The staff also speaks english and welcoming. He really helped and humble. Should try in istanbul!☺️
