Lokanta Limu is the best food I've had in a while in Istanbul. The menu seems simple but each dish is made with care. They are understated dishes but the flavors are incredibly rich. The staff is very friendly and you can tell that they genuinely want you to have the best experience. Highly recommend!

Such a lovely place with delicious meze options. Their rakı menu is honestly one of the most diverse and wellcurated I’ve ever seen, it guides you really well, and the wine selection is also excellent. The music stays perfectly in the background, never too loud or irritating. I expected a slightly more cosy and eclectic atmosphere, but it’s still a very comfortable space with a great crowd overall.
