Galata Dersaadet Restaurant — Restaurant in Istanbul

SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!!!

The uber guy made us change our destination point and started recommending this restaurant. He said that it’s a 2 minute drive, but that was in completely different direction than initially. Then the taxi driver walked us to the restaurant.

The waiter at the restaurant didn’t show menu prices and just started pushing one particular fish. The most expensive fish. Didn’t want to make it less in volume even tho I asked him to. Forced us to get 3 shrimps. Mind you 4 SHRIMPS COST 75$!

When I found bad reviews on google maps while waiting for the food I called the waiter and asked him to cancel the fish but he started a big fight arguing that I agreed for the price that he didn’t show and pointed to the camera right above us! And he said that we will have to pay anyways The shrimps were completely tasteless btw! He started shouting at me (I’m a female) and was ready to fight literally. He was furious. After bargaining we ended up paying $200 for teapot, 3 mezes, 3 shrimps, and a fish!!! They also add a 15% service fee to everything.

We didn’t touch the fish and just walked out absolutely disgusted and frustrated! DON’T FALL...

المطعم نصاب ويسحبك بالكلام العربي هج نصيحة Beware! This restaurant is a den of thieves. We were lured in with the promise of a 30% discount on the menu items, plus complimentary tea and dessert. Enticed by such tantalizing offers, we decided to indulge.

We ordered 4 large grilled shrimps, a grilled fish, 1 soda 1 orange juice, and three small appietizers. But when the bill arrived, we were shocked to see a staggering total exceeding 8,000 lira! To add insult to injury, they had the audacity to deduct a mere 750 lira, leaving us feeling utterly fleeced. The audacity of these culinary con artists knows no bounds!

The bait-and-switch tactics employed by this establishment are truly despicable. They lure unsuspecting patrons with the promise of savings, only to viciously extort them with outrageous prices and devious discounts. It is a shameful display of greed and a complete betrayal of the trust that dining out should evoke.

I implore all who stumble upon this establishment to heed this warning and...

SCAM restaurant. Uber driver redirected us away from our original destination to this restaurant and personally walked us into the restaurant. I’m sure he received a kickback from the restaurant. Immediately after sitting down we were forcefully presented with a platter of saran wrapped appetizers with no pricing details. The appetizers proportions were small, tasted like canned sardines and ended up costing us over USD$80 for 3 small appetizers. Waiters kept trying to upsell everything and were very pushy. We ordered a fish and the waiters kept trying to sell us additional shrimp. The fish cost us $150 and thank goodness we didn’t order the shrimp as I read from another review afterwards that they were charged $75 for 4 shrimp. The menu clearly stated there was a 15% service charge and when we went to pay, the waiter had the audacity to ask if we wanted to tip because the tip wasn’t included in our bill. We left the restaurant disgusted and ashamed that we fell for...
