Seven Hills Restaurant — Restaurant in Fatih

We went last week for brunch. We had such a lovely customer service on the entrance but when we arrived on terrace there was not the same feeling. First of all we found a hair in starter. We complained and a waiter changed the salad. We expected to get a replace salad. But he brought the other salad without any words. We said that it was other salad sort and then he said the other salad is finished, they do not have anymore. Service was absolutely disaster. We had 3 different waiter and there was in total 6 waiters on terrace. They were not professional. Also during service, a hat from waiters head felt on our table.. There was limited choice what can we order because they said to us that meal is finished. Only available choice was grilled salmon. With grilled salmon you receive one leaf of salad, one slice tomato and a half potato. It was just smashed on the plate and was not even nice presented. We were 3 persons and nobody was satisfied with taste, one of the worst grilled salmon ever. Location is amazing with perfect views on Hagia Sophia and The blue Mosque. Like on many other places, you will pay here for the location and not for food quality or service. Other thing is, you have separate place where to feed seagull and take photos with them. When we want to pay, a waiter reminded us that tip is not inclusive and how much we want to give for service. We gave something and I know it is traditional in Turkey to give tip, but they are not even aware that service was not ok and probably will...

Seven Hills Restaurant - A Three-View Marvel

Seven Hills Restaurant, or as I like to call it, the "Three-View Marvel," is an absolute gem in Istanbul. The terrace is the place to be, offering sweeping, unobstructed, and up-close views of the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and on the other side, the Bosphorus with the twinkling lights of the city in one breathtaking panorama.

The food is excellent, prepared with meticulous detail. The fish was grilled to perfection, and the kebabs were flavorful and juicy. However, the bread and dips platter was a bit of a letdown since most Turkish restaurants offer an extravagant serving as a sign of hospitality. For a place that enjoys such a premium location, I expected more authentic and flavorful Turkish bread and a more abundant dips platter. The servings are fairly modest and on the pricey side, but the tastes are full-hearted so don't let these discourage you (just order a Lil extra for the table!)

The staff, though super busy, were very hospitable. They provided my mom with a shawl for the sudden post-rain cooler July summer evening breeze and even changed our table to one with a better view, despite our last-minute reservation.

Enjoying the sights of istanbul as the adhan echoes from the two mosques is an unforgettable experience! If you're wondering where to go for that special dinner night in Istanbul, don't think twice. Seven Hills Restaurant is the...

We chose this place based on its location and high ratings, but I can honestly say it was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had.

After being seated, we waited 20 minutes just to place our order—despite repeatedly asking staff for assistance. The menu is extremely limited if you don’t want to eat fish; there were only two pasta options available. My friend and I ordered one of the pastas each, along with a starter and a drink.

It’s important to mention that it wasn’t even a busy time—the restaurant was fairly empty. Our food eventually arrived, but our drinks and the starter were missing. When I pointed this out, the staff member said they’d check on it right away. We started eating anyway, but both dishes were already cold. And even though I specifically ordered pasta to avoid fish, mine still had a strong fishy taste, which was very unpleasant.

After we finished eating, we waited another 30 minutes and still didn’t receive our drinks or the starter. I reminded the servers again, but nothing changed. Eventually, I asked for the bill and requested that the missing items be canceled. Even paying the bill was a hassle—I had to speak to at least three different people and wait another 20 minutes just to settle it.

Overall, this was a terrible experience—both in terms of food and service. On top of that, the prices were absurdly high for such poor quality...
