its amazing food and great atmosphere in the outside sitting area, the food was really amazing and very tasty , i liked also the professional service, the atmosphere, and the view... the best time is to catch the sunset there

We were able to get a reservation for the 9:30 pm seating at about 6:30 pm that day. The restaurant was very close to our hotel. I think the view was nice, though we were seated at one of the interior tables. The music was a bit loud, but our server was able to turn it down (the speaker was... More

We ate here about 10 days ago and had a great evening. I guess one of the things I enjoyed was eating on the top of a building - even though its only 7 floors up - there's something a bit special about being high up as the evening light falls, and you see the city lights, the cruise ships... More

nice setting even if the rooftop view was largely of a building site. Best food I have ever heard in Turkey. Good service, though waiter seemed to make a point of not coming back when we weren't ready to order first time he came, superb food, cheap by international, if not Turkish, standards

Even though other travelers have posted about needing a reservation, my husband and I walked in for lunch without a problem. The restaurant wasn't even full and this was at 1 pm! There is a lovely view over the Bosphorus. The terrace wasn't exactly open when we went since it had been raining, but it was nonetheless nice to sit... More

Poor rervice- very slow - in terms of taking orders, bringing food out.. They gave us a bottle of mineral water on the house as I had to ask for... More

This is not the place to meet the locals. You can only book table for two seetings. We booked the one at 21:15 and had our bread and water not before one hour later. The service was not attending in the start, but improved when we remarked this. The view was nice and food was good.

My husband booked this restaurant some weeks before our trip to Istanbul. He happened to mention we were coming to Istanbul for my 60th birthday so requested a table by the window so we could appreciate the view. When we arrived we found we were given the best table in the restaurant. The service was wonderful. All the dishes were... More

I have dined at Imbat on a number of visits to Istanbul, and never had to make a forward reservation. Be warned - times have changed! On this visit, in late April, I was informed that they were fully booked until the end of May for dinner, but there was no problem in reserving for lunch. The menu was the... More
