Garden Iskender — Restaurant in Şişli

We saw all the good reviews and decided to go there. Food was ok, but waiter was far too pushy and unpleasant. He came with the tray of starters, we chose only one item, which he put it on the table right away , he left us and came back with a bowl of salad that we never asked for and put it on the table!!!! we originally wanted to order soup for starter but apparently we had no choice, waiter chose for us what to eat :))

Iskender kebab was good. Kuzu sis was not lamb, it was beef for sure. Waiter kept asking us what we wanted to drink, and we refused to order anything else. he stayed there and staring at us. The minute we put down the fork and knife he cleaned the table and asked if we want to order anything else! (thank you very much, gole gole)

We wanted to order soup for starter, we always eat some dessert and hot drink after food, but just because of his behavior we rushed to leave...

I’ve been visiting this top-quality Döner-İskender place for the last 25 years. Still the same high quality food with reasonable pricing.

A succulent and very tasty döner left our taste buds craving for more. Picture thinly sliced, perfectly seasoned, and tender pieces of marinated lamb meat. İçli köfte is a great choice for a hot appetizer. It was so delicious. Simply one of the best in town which is must-try for anyone seeking a truly delicious and satisfying meal.

The personnel is very professional. They approach just-in-time and bring everything right on time in the correct order.

Tables are very clean. Wonderful and vibrant atmosphere.

Prices are very reasonable for this much high quality. I also highly recommend you to try Künefe as a dessert. They are making it so good.

Overall score 4.5/5 for a...
