S LayApril 17, 2013Great recommendation. Full of locals too so definitely authentic. Love the hot coal trays they put under your table on chilly nights to warm the feet. No menus so just go with the flow! Around 80pp.
Janka WaeijenMay 1, 2015Great and simple concept! They don't have a regular menu, but you can look around and pick the fresh fish you would like to have. Very hard working and friendly staff!
ToskA Gh KhJuly 9, 2018If you’re visiting istanbul and you wanna try seafood, this is the right place to do it! Vast choices for the starter, all very delicious 🤤 I suggest the calamari with its great sauce 😍
Parsa OloumiJanuary 7, 2019Cozy with good view of sea , Great Service , fair price . grilled octopus was fantastic . Also it has good mussel and calamari for starter .
Burcu YatmazogluAugust 2, 2018A cosy fish&meze restaurant in Karakoy district. Nice to be seated at the garden and if you're lucky enoght you'd also have the amazing views of the Galata Tower and the seaside of the Old Town.- Burcu YatmazogluSeptember 6, 2018A cosy fish&meze restaurant in Karakoy district.

- Ipek CeliksozAugust 13, 2014The best place to have Raki and fish. Concept is so cool and it looks like old times in Turkey. No need to be fancy. Order a hot helva after meal 😉
- P TinoOctober 6, 2014Local taste of seafood with a bosphorus view, favorite for all local people around, with nice Turkish music. Don't miss the fried calamari and shrimp there. And drink raki by bosphorus
Ma$hael Al-HOctober 31, 2016Great local place to have seafood. All fish are fresh.. they will recommend the season best choices for u.
B KApril 17, 2015Raki and fish. Very authentic restaurant. The outside is really nice and in the winter they put little barbecue under the tables to keep you warm. Mezes are good.
Cenk AkarAugust 17, 2015Great food, mezes and suitable glasses for Rakı which neither getting warm nor tiring you when sipping it with smell of mosses of Golden Horn.. Be tolerated to hardworking staff 😇
Haleh MoradiJuly 19, 2019Probably the best food ever in Istanbul. Amazing view and perfect environment and crazy cheap ❤️😍
Olga KlymenkoJune 9, 2013Cafe is situated near the Bosphorus. It is somewhat dirty and host was not polite. Nevertheless cafe is authentic and food is good. Grilled Seabass is very delicate!
Aybars TaşhanJanuary 28, 2018Wonderful fish restaurant im old town. Strongly suggest “levrek bugulama”
Hop Hey LalaleySeptember 21, 2019Meze here is better than fish itself. Take hummus, octopus and everything else you like + raki.
Guilherme NicolauFebruary 9, 2015Pretty good, but they charge tourists much more in a direct and obvious way in a total embarrassment that ruins the so good enjoyment you had with food and place.
Enzo MartinelliJanuary 14, 2015Great choice for groups and an introduction to simple Turkish seafood- Eugene TroynovJune 9, 2013Grilled seabass and baked shrimps were delicious. But unfortunately service was so-so this time.
Serene YeeOctober 28, 2015Lively atmosphere; always packed with crowds of people. Reservation recommended. There is no menu here: pick your seafood as you see them, and put in the order for how you want them prepared.
Masoud ShaterhoseiniApril 3, 2018Not much to say about the foods and they don't really fit the prices. Staffs are also not friendly.
Duuce AAugust 10, 2012Super cakma mekan... It.s all crap... It's not clean and prices are too high compared to the quality of food. I d never come here like ever and never!
AndrewMarch 23, 2013Not recommended. I knew this place was going to be a dive, but the servers were so unfriendly as well. No idea why this place is so popular!
