I recently dined at a charming Turkish restaurant that exceeded all expectations. The venue itself is a visual delight, with panoramic views that are perfect for capturing stunning photographs. The atmosphere is both welcoming and sophisticated, creating a memorable dining experience. The highlight of the evening was definitely the service. Hafiz, our server, was exceptional. His attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm for the menu made our meal truly enjoyable. Hafiz was knowledgeable about the dishes, offering insightful recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. His warmth and professionalism added a personal touch that elevated the evening. The food was just as impressive as the setting and service. Each dish was a flavorful journey through Turkish cuisine, with fresh ingredients and vibrant spices. From the rich kebabs to the delicate mezes, every bite was a testament to the chef’s skill. Overall, this Turkish restaurant offers a wonderful blend of breathtaking views, excellent service, and delicious food. It’s a place where you can enjoy a memorable meal while soaking in the scenic beauty and receiving top-notch hospitality from attentive staff like Hafiz. Highly recommended for a delightful dining experience.

Turgut Kebab Restaurant is a culinary delight that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were treated to an exceptional dining experience. The meze platter was a fantastic start, featuring a variety of fresh and flavorful dips and appetizers that set the tone for the meal. The chicken grilled kebab was perfectly cooked, tender, and seasoned to perfection. Equally impressive was the chicken shawarma, which was juicy and packed with delightful spices. Each bite was a testament to the restaurant's dedication to quality and authenticity. A standout beverage was their Limonata – refreshing, zesty, and just the right balance of sweet and tart. It was the perfect accompaniment to our meal. To top it all off, we were pleasantly surprised with complementary Turkish tea and baklava at the end of our meal. The tea was aromatic and soothing, and the baklava was rich and delectable, providing a sweet end to a wonderful dining experience. The staff were attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall ambiance. Turgut Kebab Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Turkish cuisine. Highly recommended!

Only good thing about this place was the live music. The reviews here definitely fooled me honestly. I felt like I didn’t even matter to them here and was neglected. I could just see and feel the avoidance from most employees in the restaurant. I think they know they are one of the highest rated or reviewed restaurants so them seem a little to casual and careless. I had to ask the waiter 4 times for my check to pay. They never even set my table with plates or silverware while the table next to me finished, cleaned up and got set up while I was still sitting there looking at menu. Them don’t seem to care or not have awareness. I asked for recommendation on kebabs since that is their speciality, and they recommend the Adana, but the Adana kebap was very average and super small portion. After spending close to 900 Lira for a one person dinner, I went to another restaurant to eat more because I was still hungry. Prices were not reasonable at all. Soup was alright but needed salt and pepper. They delivered my drink to the wrong table as well. I was literally one person, and made it very easy and simple for them. The table next to me literally order two appetizers and argued for them to bring complimentary tea and desert to them, where I as one person was smooth and spent was more money and got zero customer service. Trash.

Let me tell you, from the moment We walked in, We felt so welcomed. All the stuff and I mean exactly everyone, especially Hasan, Zeynep and Muzzafer. Muzafer made me a rose when we were sitting upstairs in the terrace because I told them that it was my birthday and they also offered us free tea and baklava, which was a nice gesture. The food was absolutely amazing. We had kebab and rice, which was amazing and the lemonade was also super good. This is a great spot to come to, and the prices are very affordable, we paid for a kebab and lemonade around 500 L. They also have the menu outside before you walk in to the restaurant. I could not recommend this restaurant more than this. It is simply amazing. Oh, and also when we were on our way out of the restaurant, we were stopped again and they told us to sit down and eat baklava and drink tea again, which was so funny to us. Then since it was my birthday, they came and sang to me and gave me a whole performance which was really funny and so nice of them. You really need to come to this place. It is amazing and you feel so happy and welcomed. This is the real turkey.❤️

BEWARE! Only go here if you're prepared to spend exactly what they want you to! We had lunch, and everything seemed fine — decent food and atmosphere compared to other tourist traps in Istanbul. Later, we returned for a late-night snack after dining elsewhere, since it was very close to our hotel. BIG MISTAKE. The waiter aggressively pushed us to order the most expensive dishes. But that's just the common ground in many Istanbul places. When we settled on just water and a kebab, his attitude flipped. He sarcastically asked, "You sure you're just getting this?" and rolled his eyes (!!!). The place wasn’t even full, so we weren’t taking a spot from anyone that would spend more..! From that moment, we were completely ignored. The cherry on top: the waiter repeatedly reminded us that the service charge wasn’t included, fishing for a tip after treating us like garbage. Avoid this place unless you enjoy being pressured and disrespected for not overspending. I'm keeping 2 stars because the food was really decent and the place is comfortable, but I'm most definitely never going back.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this rooftop restaurant for a party of 45 people, and I can confidently say it deserves a solid 5 stars. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our party was well taken care of. The ambiance on the rooftop was stunning, offering breathtaking views of the city skyline that truly elevated the dining experience. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive, friendly, and accommodating to our large group. The food was a culinary delight – every dish was beautifully presented and tasted simply divine. The menu had a great variety to cater to all tastes, and the quality of the ingredients was top-notch. Our party had a seamless and enjoyable dining experience thanks to the excellent coordination and professionalism of the restaurant's team. I would highly recommend this rooftop restaurant for any special occasion or event, as it truly exceeded all expectations and made our evening unforgettable.
