Old Galata Cafe Restaurant — Restaurant in Fatih

Nice little place with a very friendly staff.

I started with the hummus. They did a good job with it. It had a good flavor and was a nice start to the meal.

I originally went here with the plan to order the moussaka. But after looking over the menu and asking the servers opinion. I ended up ordering the lamb casserole. It was good. But I would not call it a casserole. It was meat & vegetables cooked in a dish. They bring the dish to your table with everything still boiling.

Note that you will have to ask for the drink menu. It is separate and for some reason. They do not bring it out with the food menu.

They do not serve alcohol here. So you are not going to be able to grab beer or wine with your meal.

They have juices and smoothies. I went with the homemade lemonade. It was refreshing and...

NOT WORTH IT!! Be careful.

Extremely over priced, beef stew (Testi kebabı) per person is 1485TL after tax. The price on menu is before tax (very rare in Istanbul).

Not enough quantity of food, even though the food is pricy, the quantity of food is just okay, the meat only fits for people who eat less.

Poor quality of food, beef is just average, very average, I don’t even know why so many people recommend it. Also the meal includes baklava which is the worst one I’ve ever had in Istanbul.(I’ve been here half a year)

Service is average, they don’t refill your Turkish tea until you ask them.

Overall, I will never come back and recommend this restaurant. Don’t mess the name up, this name looks very similar with the good...

Ejderhani and the team went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable. The food was incredible! full of rich, authentic Turkish flavors, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. Every dish we tried was bursting with taste and clearly made with love and care.

But what truly set this place apart was the exceptional service. Ejderhani made us feel so welcome, like we were guests in his own home. Warm, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing just the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back again and again.

This spot is a must-visit in Istanbul! Whether you’re after a cozy meal, traditional flavors, or simply a memorable night out. Can’t recommend it enough. Thank you,...
