This is a wonderful place and this boy who served us was super friendly and cheerful. Good Food, Ambience and Warmth. I will recommend anyone coming to Uskudar to consider at least one food here. Thumbs Up 👍👍
The sanwiches were a bit dry and the quality of bread was low but otherwise great place. Good location, reasonable prices considering the location. They have many tables looking at the water. The staff were very kind and sweet! The spicy paprikas on the table are definitely worth trying, tasty!
Very good fish restaurant in Üsküdar with a beautiful view of the Bosphorus and the ferry crossing to the European side of Istanbul. The place itself is simple and unpretentious — not a luxury restaurant and not trying to be overly fashionable — but the food and service were genuinely excellent. The owner, Mr. Dovran, was especially impressive. Even as the owner, he personally helped serve tables, brought dishes himself, spoke with us in Russian, and treated guests with great respect and warmth. We ordered balık ekmek and shrimp in butter served on a sizzling pan — everything was very fresh, flavorful, and prepared perfectly. At the end, we were pleasantly surprised with complimentary Turkish tea and lokum. Places like this are valuable because they focus on what really matters: delicious food, fair prices, sincere hospitality, and a wonderful Bosphorus view. Highly recommended.
This is my last dinner in Istanbul. Since January is usually wet and rainy during my visit, I tend to dine out less often. This cozy family-style restaurant, about a 10-minute walk from my accommodation, has very friendly staff. The fried fish and seared seafood are excellent. The only issue is that the price list here needs updating.
