Disappointing experience. I chose this restaurant to enjoy fine dining after days of tourist traditional Turkish restaurants.

Menu prices displayed outside the restaurant have been increased by 46%. When asked, they said the menu displayed outside was old 2024. I understand the inflation issue in Turkey and the need to review prices which is common to all commercial activities targeting tourists but I expect from a place like this they would reprint it after 4 months. The fake old prices sound like a scam to attract tourists, you cannot keep old prices in display outside the restaurant and on the website (as already commented by many other reviews) Service was extremely poor. 3 tables, 3 waiters, 2 of them they could not speak English Food: I had high expectations based on other reviews and comments. Maybe the chef changed since also the menu has (including tourist options like the traditional kebab). Food was average, meet quality average, no twists in reinventing the tradition.

Last note: when we left the restaurant the outide menu that was display has been hidden, hope to avoid future scams to other tourists.
