Reviews
The place itself is beautiful, with a great atmosphere and a lovely view. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the location. We ordered two beers and asked for something small to accompany them, even just some chips or nuts, as the beers were served completely on their own. They brought us a small plate of nuts and then charged us €8 for it, which is completely overpriced for what was offered. The staff were quite unfriendly, expressionless and seemed to have no real interest in providing good service — they were simply doing their job. Overall, very expensive for what you get and definitely not good value for money. The 3 stars are only for the beautiful location. The service and overall experience do not deserve the same rating.
Great place to watch football! The atmosphere was amazing, with plenty of screens and a great crowd. The food and drinks were excellent, and the service was outstanding. A special thanks to our waiter, Felix, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made our visit even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!
Had a wonderful lunch which was delicious. Spaghetti Bolognese. The music in the restaurant was very nice and the service by Metin was very professional, he is a great server. He made my lunch perfect!
Sadik was very friendly and professional! Lovely restaurant, good food and have been back 3 times during my stay!
We ate here twice during our stay and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is brilliant, especially if you enjoy watching live sport. We came here to watch Juventus vs Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe vs Nottingham Forest, and the vibe was spot on for both games. The service was amazing — the staff genuinely couldn’t do enough for you, which really added to the experience. The food was outstanding too. Both times we went, we had pasta dishes and they were absolutely spot on. We also had shisha on both visits, with plenty of flavours and options available, all at very fair prices. Overall, a fantastic place for food, sport, and atmosphere. Highly recommended if you’re in Istanbul.
