Truly Outstanding — Worth Visiting Twice!
I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant not once, but twice — which is something I almost never do when exploring a new city. The experience was simply that good.
From the moment I walked through the doors, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of character.
The food was exceptional on both occasions. Every dish I tried was flavorful, beautifully presented, and made with clear attention to detail.
What truly made my experience memorable, however, was the incredible service — particularly from Mr. Mohamed Khalil.

From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warmth and great hospitality. The atmosphere is cozy, stylish, and reflects a beautiful blend of modern and traditional Turkish design.
The food is absolutely delicious — I tried a variety of dishes and everything was flavorful and fresh. Their breakfast is a must-try, and their desserts are next level! The baklava with their signature ice cream is heavenly.
The service was excellent; the staff were kind, attentive, and always smiling. The place is super clean, and some branches offer lovely outdoor seating with a nice view.
Prices are fair for the quality you get. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, MADO is the perfect spot to enjoy authentic Turkish cuisine and desserts.
Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be...
Read moreNice brunch with various delicious options. We ordered a limonada ev yapi, sucukly yumurta, and ispanakli gözleme, and they were all excellent. This said, I was surprised to see that the waiter charged me 1 cup of tea, which I hadn’t ordered. I asked him to amend the check, which he did by cancelling the extra tea (iptal). I heard tourists in Istanbul are oftentimes taken advantage of through and disguised deception, such as overcharging or charging items in the bill which they...
