Incredible value - I had the chicken skewer kebab large and it was a huge portion size! I don't think I've ever had such a large serving size of chicken ever! The photo doesn't do it justice as to just how big it is. I'm a big eater and I was definitely struggling at the end. The chicken was also nice and tender and tasted amazing. It also came with plenty of side dishes and bread. For 1090 TRY, it's definitely the best value for money I've had in Istanbul. The staff were nice and friendly, however, didnt speak any English.
Absolutely spectacular food. Had a kebab platter and a mixed meat kebab. Outrageous. I have been in Istanbul stuffing my face with kebab and this is by far the best I have had. The flavour of the lamb in the rap was sooo good. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Prices reasonable and the service was excellent. Very authentic feel to the restaurant. I am the only tourist here!!!
Excellent food and even better hospitality! As a local, I have high standards for Turkish restaurants, and this place truly impressed me. Everything we ordered was fresh, authentic, and delicious. A special thank you to our waiter, Turgay, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. He made us feel like guests in his home. Despite being in a very touristy area, they treat visitors with honesty and genuine Turkish hospitality instead of trying to take advantage of them. This is exactly the kind of place that represents Türkiye at its best. Highly recommended!
The kebab here was really good and felt very authentic. The meat was juicy, well-seasoned, and grilled just right, with a nice smoky flavor. The portion size was generous, and everything tasted fresh, especially the bread and vegetables on the side. Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was casual and comfortable. It’s not a fancy place, but that actually adds to the experience. You come here for solid, honest food, and it delivers. Prices are reasonable for the quality you get. Overall, a great spot if you want to enjoy a simple and satisfying Turkish meal. I would definitely come back again.
