Kanaat Lokantası — Restaurant in Üsküdar

Service: listen, this is an old school establishment. No women work here. The waiters are experienced and old fashioned people. They are brief with their interactions and serve ordered food quickly.

Food: outstanding, tasteful Turkish food! I found, it was well priced - although for this kind of place a hint overpriced. Expect about TL 200 / USD 12 - 15 per person with drinks.

Location: it's located close to the pier. Pretty easy to find. Don't try to find a parking spot, tho.

Drinks: As much as I know, no alcohol is served.

Music: atmospheric, easy and not disturbing restaurant ambience... no music

Comments: it's a great, refreshing little oasis for a lunch break, or perfect for a little get together and to enjoy some good Turkish food that's not your typical kebab you find all around. P.s. don't be afraid to try something new - I meant the Turkish dishes they offer. Supersecret alarm! Do not miss out on the ice cream ... no...

Disappointing Experience

I visited this place with high expectations, as I had heard positive things about it. However, I left feeling extremely dissatisfied. The overall experience fell short of my expectations, leaving me disappointed.

One of the main issues I encountered was the quality of the food. Not only was it served cold, but it lacked any distinct flavor.

Another aspect that added to my disappointment was the lack of attentive service. There seemed to be a lack of staff members available to assist customers.

Overall, I cannot recommend this place based on my experience. It is my hope that the establishment takes these criticisms constructively and works towards improving the overall dining experience for...

Centrally located Turkish restaurant where you can taste the full scale Turkish cuisine except the Sea Food. Various types of soups, main cuisine, cold and hot appetiziers, many different kind of delicious desserts are available to taste. Probably oldest restaurant in the area. Quite popular for the local people of Üsküdar. One of the gourmet destinations that I visit when I come to this side of Istanbul. Fast service. Helpful staff. Must taste varieties of desserts that are served either with cream or ice cream depending on the season of the year. Most meals are ready to serve, so it is a good choice when you have limited time. Clean WC's are on the second floor. Tea is not served unlike some other Turkish restaurants to let the customer circulation running smoothly without keeping other customers waiting. ...
