A fish restaurant I recently discovered, and every friend I've taken there has loved it. They have incredibly delicious fish, boneless. The prices are reasonable, and the fish is very tasty. And of course, if you're served by the mischievous Mr. Çınar, the enjoyment of your meal is enhanced a few notches :) I highly recommend it to everyone because of its cleanliness and delicious food 😀

We had a wonderful fish sandwich with a different approach to crispy fish. The sardine fish sandwich was amazing, and the pickle juice on the side was delicious, you definitely have to try it 😍😋😋😎

We came here with a friend after our run, and it was the best fish we've ever eaten. We each had one and a half portions of sardines, and the nevzine dessert was legendary. Uğur abi is also a very friendly and nice person. We definitely recommend it.

My wife and I discovered a new place to eat fish in Üsküdar. The place is very clean and, although small, it feels very spacious. The fish was delicious and the bread was very fresh. We especially liked that the fish was cooked with a unique breading method. The owners are a very friendly and sweet couple; they were very pleasant to talk to. I highly recommend the place 10/10. The price is also very reasonable compared to the market 👍🏽👏🏽
