Reviews
A typical Turkish restaurant in Istanbul with two locations. The menu is extensive, offering a great selection of starters, kebabs, and other traditional meat dishes. Prices are in line with similar restaurants in the city. A special thank you to Kadir, an outstanding waiter, who made our experience enjoyable by treating us to fresh watermelon and Turkish coffee with milk and pistachio. recommended!
Finally found proper rips and amazing kebab! Also for a fair price and the staff is warm and welcoming. Located on a side street and a fairly simple building but if you don't mind that, can definitely recommend visiting. The only place we came back for another round 🔥
Absolutely lovely restaurant! I wish I had taken photos for the review. Each member of the staff is lovely and really tries to help. The food was not only good, but EXCELLENT. I had Lamberts and rice with her so, so good. Definitely get something barbecued! The veggies were very nice and fresh as well. I've eaten a lot of restaurants in Istanbul and I really like this one so I'm not surprised about the high ratings! I would 100% return. It's in such a cute area and very convenient in Taksim too. 10/10 experience and dining!😊😊
OH MY GOD — the food here is absolutely incredible. I’m not exaggerating or sugar-coating anything. The lamb chops were INSANE. ZERO lamb smell, unbelievably tender and juicy. And trust me,I’m someone who usually hates the taste of lamb…and I couldn’t even stop eating.And just when we thought it couldn’t get any bette, they treated us with complimentary Turkish tea and dessert after the meal. This restaurant is PERFECTION from start to finish. If you are in Istanbul and you DON’T eat here I promise you, you will regret it. SERIOUSLY.
We were on our way back to the hotel and wanted to eat, we searched for this place in google, reviews were good so we decided to check it out. 1. Service was very good, they helped us with the menu, they were kind and helpful. 2. Food was perfect, we ordered mixed kebab and adana kebab as a main course, for starters we had muhamara and gavarda salad. Meat was amazing, kebab was juicy and melting. Salad was good too, muhamara was a lil bit sour maybe it depends on style. Unfortunately the didn’t have cig koufte, but the time of our visit was 22:30. Also they gave us their as a gift their traditional desert with pumpkin, it was tasty. 3. You can pay by cash and card. I would recommend this restaurant for you, very good place in Taksim.
