Günaydın Kebap & Steakhouse Kalamış — Restaurant in Kadıköy

What a wonderful fine dining experience at this Günaydin! Having tried another branch, I can say this one offers a more elevated atmosphere with a distinct and impressive menu that's a step above. This location specializes primarily in exquisite meat dishes and BBQ, with the grilled chicken wings being tje only poultry options, ensuring a true focus on their strengths. They also have a good selection of Turkish starters (meze-style) which are excellent. It was perfect for our Eid dinner with the family a few days ago. The friendly servers made excellent suggestions, enhancing our meal. While it was busy being the first day of Eid, leading to some sold-out items, the amazing food and fast service more than made up for it. It's definitely pricier than other branches, but the quality and experience justify it. And let's not forget the fantastic location – it's ideally situated, adding another layer of appeal to this already great restaurant in Istanbul. It's worth mentioning it's big and have a kids play area, indoor seating and amazing g...

If you want to taste authentic and quality Turkish kebabs and the vast cuisine of Turkish meant based dishes. The key is the high quality meat and they have it. The Lahmacun is not to skip - super thin and crisp - it’s so good we can’t get enough of it. Be selective and don’t fill up on cold meze and bread then you can really taste more main dishes. It fills up quickly and we recommend reservations. It is very popular and we could see and taste why! As to service; it is prompt and considerate. They pride themselves in hospitality; we felt at ease and welcomed. All this and it’s easy on the budget, mush better food than more expensive options nearby. They have an outdoor section that’s small but nice. If you want to avoid smokers ask them upfront so they can sit you properly (unfortunately still many people smoke cigarettes in Turkey). They also have valet service since parking in that area is not easy. Highly recommend it - you will eat well. Can’t wait to go back...

Came in while the Restraunt was busy and the waitresses were increasingly getting more rushed, and went all over the place, however as we ordered the restraunt rested and yet the servants were still in the same state. It took us what seemed like 2 hours till the food we ordered arrived. Most of the food was fine, except for the yogurt kebab which had the meat really soft and was not enjoyable. After we were done with the food, we constantly tried to catch the waitresses’ attention which were, at the time, dazed and wasted more than 30 minutes of our time to just get the bill. Not to mention, the tea we ordered never arrived. The restraunt failed to organize their staff into sections and therefore the service was hugely...
