The amount of food is adequate, and the tea and desserts are great. The street is not very noisy, so eating in the terrace is also nice.
What a great restaurant for our first night. We were very full after our meal. Friendly service and pleasant atmosphere.. The chicken shish was delicious . Many thanks to Mohammed for looking after us.
Absolutely amazing food and the best service we had in Istanbul. You won’t be sorry. They accommodated our party of 10 with no hesitation. And the food was just so delicious. Especially the pita!!
We were brought here by our guide when looking for an authentic and not over priced turkish food. We came back the next day on our own…we liked it that much! The pita bread is huge, light, fresh and delicious! The hummus and yogurt dip...is so fresh. We had the Icli Kofta, kebabs, and their mini Turkish pizza…roll it like a tight burrito. Try their beer too. The staff speak English well and are very helpful when it comes to ordering. If you’re looking for a place to rest when exploring Istanbul Old city don’t hesitate to stop at Buhara Ocakbasi.More
Wow!!! We flew in today from Izmir and walked by from our hotel completely exhausted and looking for a quick bite to eat. What a surprise! Mohammed invited us in to sit down, brought us a blanket as it was a surprisingly chilly day. We...ordered a fantastic bottle of wine and grilled chicken along with a side of hummus. The fresh baked pita came out hot with black and white toasted sesame seeds. The chicken was amazing. We had baklava- which I grew up making- this is the lightest baklava I have ever had and it was less sweet. It went perfectly with the traditional Turkish tea. Wow!!! Such a nice place and such kindness from the staff. We literally just happened up on this place and now I understand why they have such amazing reviews!!!More
Best food in Istanbul. Came here and shared the testi kabob and a few apps amazing service presentation and complimentary desert. Amazing staff, really inviting personality. A must
It is a small restaurant with quality and delicious food with an outstanding service and attention to detail.
We found this restaurant through the TripAdvisor reviews and it lived up to our expectations. The food and service were great. A little off the main tourist strip so a more local feel.
Disappointing. We ate here regularly on our last visit to Istanbul & always enjoyed our meal. The bread back then was light, fluffy & delicious & came with a buttery spreadable type cheese. This time it was very ordinary. Dry chicken, dry bread, wilted greens....Like everywhere the prices have also increased a lot. Unfortunately we won’t be back or would recommend Bohara.More
I recommend this restaurant because we ate very well in a quiet environment, very nice and very polite staff. We had two second courses, one of meat and one of chicken, very good and spicy. I post some photos of our dinner, the staff also...offered us a good pistachio dessert.More
Nice cozy place, our family enjoyed this place, the service was very nice. Nice food and family place
Food is perfect. First meal in Istanbul, me and my family had a very pleasant lunch. Restaurant with history and tasty. We tried mixed grilled for two, more than enough. Staffs are so friendly, like old fried. 第一餐在这里吃的,老板和店员都很好,肉也很好吃,露台的景色很美,三个景点都可以看到。
Wonderful gem of restaurant off the beaten path. Very friendly staff, good food. Great first dinner in Istanbul.
The food was absolutely delish!! I really enjoyed the Mezze Platter and the chicken wings. The staff was attentive and sweet. We received baklava, which was sooo good, tea, and fruit on the house. Highly recommend!
