    Some of the best inventive high-end Turkish food in the city, but at reasonable prices. The pastry with cheese appetizer was great, as was the sea bass main. Perfect romantic date spot.

    A good mix of classic Turkish dishes done in a new way. A good alternative to try out in Karakoy for an intimate evening in a cozy, romantic restaurant. 👍 (Also where I discovered Chamlija Riesling!)

    Loved every dish. Started with Samphire salad, spicy shrimp, and zucchini fritters. Seabass and smoked Seabeeem. Do not miss coming to this place. But call for a reservation in advance!

    I love the zucchini (aubergine) fritters. The grilled sea bass was a simple, light and pleasant. The simple understated presentation would work perfectly in London as it stands Maya dominates Istanbul

    This restaurant kills it with simple yet very refined Turkish food made from immaculately sourced ingredients. Don't miss the stuffed mackerel appetizer, and be sure to reserve ahead!
