We liked this place a lot! One of the best service! We were at the 1st floor. The ground floor was too occupied.
The main food and the desserts were delicious. I don't eat kebab, but here i really loved it, wonderful! Then, there was a dish with the meat with the cheese inside... mmmm.... I have never tried anything like this, tasty and unique! The delight that we liked the most you can see on 2 photos i have uploaded. One of the tastiest desserts i have ever tried! Very sweet and intense. The other one on the metal plate with cream we liked less, but it was interesting new taste for me.
As for prices, higher than you would pay on average, but the quality, taste and service worth it. The waiters were very attentive and kind. It is not for everyday meal, but when you are on a vacation, you can afford such an experience ;)
The reataurant has several floors, which gives a choice. The WC is on the 4th floor, which is not very convenient, but with the elevator takes you up in a couple of seconds. It is very clean and everything you need os available there ;)
Overall, i am very happy with this experience, and i will definitely...
Read moreThis is a well known established restaurant. They are known for their desserts. How ever that doesn’t mean much when you are in Istanbul where you have so many great options. Hence the 3.5 star rating. They are pretty good but not the best. We ducked in to eat lunch and take a break from shopping. They have a rooftop seating which is great, removes you from the noisy street level. Staff was excellent and very helpful. We ended up waiting little over 15 min for the food to arrive. So take that into consideration- this is a busy popular place and you might wait a bit. Current exchange rates make everything seem quite cheap, so you will spend very little in dollars or euros to eat several dishes. The döner wrap was delicious. Steak salad was fresh and pretty good. We topped it off with Turkish tea and shared a dessert. While none expects tips in this country, I encourage you to be generous and leave a tip - hard working people will appreciate it especially right now when their economy is in shambles and people are struggling to make ends meet. If you need a mini break with rooftop views on Istiklal street, drop...
Read moreOh my gosh this was such an experience! We came here for breakfast and it was so entertaining watching the people ordering different desserts for take-away. There were also quite a lot of people who came in after us to dine in.
The menu is fantastic because it includes pictures - yay! We ordered a borek with some cheese and were surprised to see it come in layers of pasta! I thought it was delicious. We also ordered cream and honey (because how can you not). Also menemen because menemen is delicious (a mixture of eggs and tomato and vegetables). And finally we had knafeh - a really interesting and delicious dessert consisting of shredded wheat with cheese in the middle, topped with cream and pistachios. Oh my gosh - this was fantastic. It looked like it would be really sweet (maybe because many of their desserts are very very sweet) but it was milder - the cheese also complimented the textures and flavours in a very subtle way.
Oh gosh you guys, this place was so fantastic and delicious. I'd definitely recommend that you come here either for...
