Very good food. Staff was very kind and friendly. Would recommend!
Denis was amazing, the food is delicious as expected since it’s recommended by Anthony Bourdain, I felt so comfortable like home I wanted to try everything on the menu if I the time but definitely coming back, much recommended
Denniz and the staff are lovely, great service and hospitality. The best Adana kebabs I have ever had were here! Usta Byram is the best, Mehmet also was great
Honestly, this place exceeded my expectations. The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, making it a great spot for dinner with family or friends. What really made the experience special was the excellent service and the warm hospitality from Mr. Deniz. He was very professional, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. Highly recommended if you’re looking for quality seafood and a great dining experience in Istanbul ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The owner here was awesome — he went a little beyond being courteous. Exit please, food services are first class. When you walk around Istanbul, there are a lot of places to go, but I love visiting Bahama Pop Shop and experiencing this kind of quality service. The fish was fresh; he selected it from the market next door, which he owns. If you want fresh seafood, this is the place.
