Valide Restaurant Brasserie — Restaurant in Fatih

This place is scam, in the litteral sense, don’t go there! There is no price displayed, in other places a pomegranate juice is 8-12 lira at worse. They charged me 30!!! The waiter was jealous and weird, he kept telling me how lucky I am to be rich and asked how much I paid my phone. When I asked to pay, he was hesitant and then randomly told me 30 lira. When I found the real price the next day in other places (3 lira near my flat!!!!), I went back to their scammy store and talked to the managers, I asked how much is the pomegranate juice, they told me 25!! This, right here is a 5 lira gap which indicates they price whatever they want. I asked why is the price so high compared to others, they couldn’t answer straight and mentioned things which has nothing to do like price is different if take away etc. Those evil workers are there to scam you, don’t get tricked, they will entertain you so you don’t see it coming. Not only that but they mumbled things to each other about me which obviously wasn’t very nice and they were also mocking me directly bu telling me things in Turkish and then laugh right after. So when you go there, they rip you off and then mock you. If you go there after reading it then you are...

The guy mending the ice cream stand overcharged us on the night of Tuesday, Sept. 16th. We were asked to pay 400 TRY for a small chocolate ice cream. He pointed to the menu in Turkish and justified the ridiculous pricing. We couldn’t understand Turkish but knew what we ordered was basic and not the one he pointed. Amidst the confusion we felt compelled to pay but then he insisted the payment to be made in cash. He was also unkind and impatient. A kind stranger offered to pay for us instead. He too was surprised that a nice cream costs that much.

I would caution anyone visiting. If they do want to charge that high for a takeaway ice cream then they need to make it...

Terrible experience, we ordered pomegranate juice that cost 150TL although it is expensive they said its Italian not Turkish then we said okay let's have it, it tasted awfully sour and disgusting which shows the fruit is not good food, then we asked him do you know how it tasted he said yes it tasted not good we told him we need our money back because this is not drinkable he said no I gave you what you want although he knows it's bad and he said call the police if you want and no one in the restaurant seems to help at the end we left the drink with 2 sips taken and they took the money for nothing !!!! A place that doesn't deserve...
