Kenan Usta Ocakbaşı Restoran — Restaurant in Beyoğlu

My friend and I went to this restaurant and the food was great, the service was good and the prices were reasonable for what we got.

6 weeks later my parents visited me in Istanbul. I wanted to visit this place again with my parents because I liked the place so much. We had a nice evening, the food was still great and the service still good. Unfortunately the price was raised from 350tl per person to 900 lira per person. This seemed not fair so I contacted the restaurant to ask a part of our money back because there was such a big difference in price. It felt like we were charged more because my parents joined as tourists. The restaurant responded but told us the prices were reasonable. I don't think that asking twice the amount of money is reasonable for a similar order so it feels like they took advantage of us.

Unfortunately the restaurant seems to take advantage of tourists and therefore I won't visit the...

나는 한국인이다. 결론부터 말하자면 사기당했다! 자세히 말한다. 나는 정확하게 22년 8월 10일 23시부터 2시간 동안 맥주를 마셨다. 양고기 케밥(120리라)와 맥주 4잔(200리라)를 마셨다. 총 320리라였다. 마지막 손님은 나뿐이었고 어느 한 늙은 점원은 제가 취했다고 생각했는지 나에게 손으로 쓴 400리라의 영수증을 내밀었다. 나는 320리라을 말하고 카드로 결제하려고 했지만 그 점원은 400리라를 결제하려고 했다. 그런데 결제가 안됐고 내가 다시 320리라를 말하자 점원은 알겠다며 320리라를 결제하려고 했다. 그러자 또 결제가 되지 않았다. 그래서 나는 갖고 있는 현금으로 350리라를 줬더니 그 점원은 400리라를 요구했다. 어쩔 수 없이 400리라로 계산을 했고 나는 담배를 피우며 지켜봤다. 그 점원은 100리라를 본인이 갖고 본인의 돈 20리라로 비꿔서 총 320리라를 갖고 카운터로 갔다.

I am Korean In conclusion, I was scammed! speak in detail I drank beer for two hours from 23:00 on August 10, 22 precisely. Had a lamb kebab (120 lira) and 4 glasses of beer (200 lira). A total of 320 lira. I was the last customer, and an old clerk gave me a handwritten receipt of 400 lira, which he thought I was drunk. I said 320 lira and tried to pay by card, but the clerk tried to pay 400 lira. But the payment did not work, and when I said 320 lira again, the clerk said he would understand and tried to pay 320 lira. Then there was no payment. So I gave him 350 lira in cash, and the clerk asked for 400 lira. I had no choice but to pay 400 lira, and I smoked and watched. The clerk took 100 lira himself and changed his money to 20 lira, and went to the counter with a total of 320 lira.

Ben Koreliyim Sonuç olarak, dolandırıldım! Daha açık olmak gerekirse, tam olarak 10 Ağustos 22:00'de saat 23:00'ten itibaren iki saat bira içtim. Kuzu kebabı (120 lira) ve 4 bardak bira (200 lira) vardı. Toplam 320 lira. Son müşteriydim ve yaşlı katip bana el yazısıyla 400 liralık bir makbuz verdi. Sarhoş olduğumu düşündü. 320 lira kartla ödeyecektim ama katip 400 lira istedi. Ancak ödeme yapılamadı, yine 320 lira dedim ve katip anlayacağını söyleyip 320 lira ödemeye çalıştı. Sonra ödeme yapılmadı. Ben de ona 350 lira nakit verdim, katip 400 lira istedi. 400 lira vermekten başka çarem yoktu, sigara içip izledim. Katip kendisi 100 lira çıkardı, parayı 20 liraya çevirdi, toplam 320 lira aldı ve kasaya gitti.

‎من کره ای هستم در نتیجه، من کلاهبرداری شده ام! دقیق تر، از ساعت 23:00 10، 22 آگوست، دو ساعت آبجو خوردم. یک کباب بره (120 لیر) و 4 لیوان آبجو (200 لیر) خورد. جمعا 320 لیر من آخرین مشتری بودم و منشی بزرگتر به من رسید 400 لیر را به من داد. او فکر می کرد من مست هستم. قرار بود با کارت 320 لیر پرداخت کنم که متصدی 400 لیر خواست. با این حال، پرداخت امکان پذیر نبود، بنابراین من دوباره گفتم 320 لیر، و منشی گفت متوجه می شود و سعی کرد 320 لیر بپردازد. سپس هیچ پرداختی وجود نداشت. بنابراین من 350 لیر نقد به او دادم و منشی 400 لیر خواست. چاره ای جز پرداخت 400 لیر نداشتم و سیگار می کشیدم و تماشا می کردم. منشی خودش 100 لیر درآورد و پول را به 20 لیر تبدیل کرد و مجموعاً 320 لیر گرفت و...

Awsome dinner! First of all the grills tasted really good and meat was so tender and delicious beyond my expectations! I wasn't expecting much so i was puzzled to be very much satisfied!! The service is so friendly and they speak English too which is a huge plus! Prices is clear and fair, what you will see at the menu is what you gonna pay for, no added charges or forced items like most of the other restaurants are doing now! They open till around 02.00 AM and sometimes even till 03.00 PM if they are busy!! Kenan Usta himself is sitting at the grill and he comes and check if everything is good!! Was planning to visit another couple of restaurants in the same area this week but now i am satisfied and will keep going...
