My partner and I love Istanbul and try to patron as many new restaurants as we can when we visit. The last time we were here in March we had a lovely evening at this restaurant, the lovely Joseph found us a table even though the restaurant was really busy (the reason we wanted to eat there) I can honestly...

We dined in that restaurant in January. It is a nice traditional restaurant in Istanbul. The food was delicious, especially their Sultan kebab (which was served in a show way). Prices are quite moderate. Service is excellent! Nice place to try Turkish cuisine and spend time with friends!

1) They use three or 4 touts - who constantly monitor when you step out of near by hotels and badger you into eating at Hatay. 2) The server was a con artist - In the pretext of explaining the dishes, reviewed 3 dishes and brought to the table these 3 dishes, when we specifically ordered 2 of the 3...

We really did have a very good experience here at this traditional Hatay (Antioch area) restaurant. One of our group had seen a newspaper review of the restaurant so we tried it!

We used to go to this restaurant frequently but gave up for nearly a year since they've increased prices. The food's allright, atmosphere sucks; prices have become too much.

We visited the restaurant twice, first time as it was near our hotel and again because we enyoyed it. Very helpful and friendly staff (even supplied a rose on Valentine's Day). Vegetarian food very good and all at a reasonable price.

I went to this restaurant near my hotel when I arrived from Brazil, and it was really really really good. The people were nice, the food was excellent and the price was fair. In the other days, I tried a lot of restaurants, but I couldn't find one that was as good as Hatay. So I kept going there everyday... More

We went looking for the Dejavu restaurant because it was close to our hotel and had great reviews. When we arrived we were told that the Hatay had the same owners and we went for it. I think they just wanted to fill first the Hatay because it is in a corner so they can "catch" people walking on two... More
