    Great location, by the sea, very close to other nightlife venues. Food is very delicious, wine menu is very good. Staff is extremely nice. Prices are higher than average, but totally worths.

    Some people in this place should relax about their coolness, sometimes they are too fancy😂The view, foods (risotto&cheesecake) and service are great. This is what for you will pay MUCH.

    Chilai has a unique atmosphere with the decoration and the bosphorous view. I tried "Ocean's Twelve Pizza" i.e. Sea food pizza. Well it was delicious but too wet! It should have been baked more maybe?

    Great view, beautiful for brunches. At night with less Bosporus view I don't recommend. Eggs Benedict for brunch is awesome. Staff a bit uptight. This place can get a better chef or menu!!!

    Oh my God. Istanbul just has the most interesting restaurants and cafes from an architectural point of view. You'll have dinner or just cocktails floating on the Bosphorus! 👌🏻

    Enjoy lunch and/or early dinner and then the lounge concept... Loved the DJ's choices yet the volume turns up after 10 pm making decent conversations with friends impossible...

    The lounge is literally located on top of the sea. It has an amazing view. The drinks are great. However the music is not very good.

    Amazing view if you are seated in the terrace. Very chic place. It's pricey, but if you decided yourself to go anywhere in Bebek, you deffo can afford it.

    Wouldn’t recommend to go at night!Too crowded!Spent hour just to get the table even some of them were empty! But the view is good and you can book the boat trip straight from the lounge for 500 Lira\h

    I was skeptic about eating sushi here when a friend took me here, but I was proven wrong. Even though the place looks like a bar/lounge, it best serves as a sushi restaurant.

    Stop by Chilai for good music and snacks later in the day, rather than for breakfast. If you want, you could spend a whole day here. Read more
