Reza ParsaNovember 7, 2017Such a lovely place to rest and have a delicious meal after wearing yourself out at the Sultan Ahmet district. I tried Manti which was just ok and Efes beer which I loved. Enjoy the atmosphere!
Paul SanwaldMay 16, 2015Great food and not too expensive in a very touristy area. Awesome atmosphere. Had the meze mix to start and lamb shish kebab and rocket salad which was plenty for two.
Soroosh KhodamiJuly 20, 2018It was a very good place! Cozy and beautiful. The food was very good, we ate iskandar kabab and doner kabab and the taste was very delicious. The personnel was very kind and service was good ❤️
Matteo PenzoFebruary 2, 2020Amazingly good tiny Turkish restaurant meters away from Cistern Basilica. Try all their appetizers, beware of the big size of the portions.

Girts PolisJune 9, 2013Vert polite waiters, food is good, atmosphere just what one needs in a hot weather- shady and cool in any sense. Just perfect.

Antonis ZografosAugust 8, 2014Very good food and risonable price! At summer its good to eat at its nice garden!
Fabiana KawaharaAugust 4, 2012Good localization! The waiter is very kind and the food is gorgeous! Try seabass or seabeam (fish).
Kirs PSeptember 23, 2015For a tourist restaurant it ain't half bad. Stick with the mixed mezze plate and a glass of wine on the rather lovely patio.
Arseniy PosMarch 9, 2022Mediocre and disappointing for that price. Isn’t worth that. Soup of the day was tomato and noodles, which all in all was blend and watery, manty were tiny and okayish, but worth 1/3 of the price.
Eman AlobaryAugust 21, 2018Dont ever go , nothing good, bad appetizer and bad meat, old bread, the worst experince in istanbul, dont be fooled with location and decor
- Marija MarovicOctober 8, 2014Buetufil garden. Meze very bland. Manti are good, squid/calamari just perfect. Nice ambiance but food is just plain ok.
