This place had some great food and service. It is situated on the sunny side of the street so I presume thats why the prices were slightly higher then the places accross the street. Definately worth a meal before you leave :)

We dined here twice in our six nights in Istanbul. The food is excellent and the staff attentive with a great sense of humour. There was a reasonable selection of wines at moderate prices. The times we visited there was somebody outside to invite you but with a smile and a non-aggressive manner. Akbiyik Cad has numerous mostly good restaurants.... More

Actually found out about this by reading reviews on here and it was just near our hotel (Empress Zoe). What impressed us - as well as the good quality food - was the fact that this was the only restaurant on this busy tourist street that did not have someone hassling you to come in to their place. They are... More

After 5 nights in Istanbul we finally found a place to eat which we really enjoyed. The food was excellent, a good choice with especially good Turkish dishes. The service was attentive without being over bearing, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the music was so relaxing, we didn't want to leave. All this along with great value for... More

Arriving after a long flight, my friends and I decided to enjoy a late lunch somewhere near the hotel (Acra Hotel). We walked around and found this cozy-looking restaurant. Lunch turned out to be great! We enjoyed an appetizer made up of halloumi cheese, aubergines and the staple flat turkish bread. The kebabs were also delicious! The staff were so... More

loved the outdoor area here! It was heated by heatlamps in the end of March, and I enjoyed a few nights here. The staff was very friendly without being intrusive--lovely people. It was very comfortable, the coffee was good, and the food was perfect.

Everything was very well organized, the timing of service, the quality of the food, the service from the waiter (warm without being invasive), the romantic ethnicity of the environment etc etc have contributed to make a very special dinner at a very reasonable price. I recommend the Testikebab but the best of the dinner is the kunefe, a cheese made... More

We had a very warm and genuine welcome from the staff and this attractive restaurant which offers seating over two floors and a pavement seating area. The food was very tasty, we went for the Ottoman style cuisine and were very pleased with our choice, the shrimps in mine were wonderfully plump and juicy. Good range of menu items. We... More

Prizy and poor food. Portions too small. Not worth the money don't go. Only good thing was the wine.
