We were there once. It's delicious, but I wouldn't say it's much cheaper than in a cafe nearby. There were a lot of people, so I had to eat quickly and make room for others. But in general, I recommend it.

The dining room is very clean, but in the off-season the tables are almost all occupied by locals of all levels of wealth.
There is a good toilet down the stairs.
The choice of dishes is very large.
We take the tray and show what we want to take.
You can pay with a card at the checkout.
I liked the soup with giblets.
5 second, 1 soup and 1 rice with ayran and cold tea - 985 liras
The cola in the jar is 35 lire
Near metro, ferry, tram, markets.
We will definitely come back here.

An excellent budget dining room, 400-600 liras will be available for three, a great alternative to an endless restaurant in every house in the center of historical Istanbul with an overprice! It's pretty tasty!

The dining room has a good selection of dishes and affordable prices, the portions are large, everything is delicious. There is a menu with prices on the wall at each table, but there are no photos. The interior is simple, there are many visitors, locals and tourists.
Lunch for two 500-650 lira: soup, salad, second course.
They paid in cash.

Very tasty, fast and inexpensive. Yes, this is an ordinary local canteen, designed not for tourists, but for locals. A large selection of dishes, everything is fresh. It is served a little bland, but there are seasonings and hot peppers on a separate table, you can freely take them. I especially liked the desserts (they look worse than they taste) and the roast with mushrooms. Of the cons, there is no tea.

It's a great place, the food is very, very tasty, homemade, without heartburn! The prices are more than reasonable, for 2 adults and 2 children 700 - 750 lira, there is both the first and the second, and dessert, delicious ayran. The tables are cleaned quickly, and both locals and tourists eat. There may be no choice of dishes in the evening, especially after 20:00. I certainly recommend it!

Do you want cheap but delicious food? This way for you. The food here is mostly local, the prices are really low, but the quality does not suffer. They speak Russian, albeit poorly.

Cheap and very angry, so much so that it's better to find another place, especially if with children, just because you can't wait for food, the queue is huge

Self-service cafe-canteen.The range of dishes is large. I took the meat on the bones with stewed potatoes and salad. I liked everything. It seemed a little cramped.

We had breakfast/lunch/dinner in this dining room for a week. What did you notice? There are many different meat and vegetable dishes. There are 4-5 different soups on the menu every day. There are salads, desserts, drinks. The price is much lower than in cafes. The guys work fast, so there are almost no queues. We really liked it! We will be in Istanbul - we will definitely come back!

I love these canteens, one of the most budget ones in all of Istanbul, where you will definitely not get poisoned! The food is delicious and fresh, we have been coming back for several years. But the best one is located in the Topkapi district. The price is rising, but this dining room is in any case more budget-friendly than the rest

A great dining room in the heart of Istanbul. A very large selection, large portions. Serving is like in a dining room, do not expect something super-natural. But if you want to eat tasty and inexpensive food, then you are definitely here 😁

Cheap dining room in the tourist area!
Two courses plus drinks and dessert will cost up to 250-300 liras!
We recommend it for everyone who does not want to overpay but to eat well!

Cheap (although everything is relative) and angry . It is unclear on what principle this place is called a restaurant. An ordinary Soviet-style dining room.

The best place to eat in Fatiha, you will not find better food for very little money. Three-course lunch for two about 300 liras (March 2024)there are a lot of locals, and there are tourists, the queue goes fast. Very tasty, good portions, a variety of homemade food : stews, soups, rice, sweets, tea are sold separately on the street for 25 lire. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to eat delicious and inexpensive homemade quality food.

It's most likely a bistro or a canteen. Don't pay attention to the interior and exterior, the food is really delicious. We went there after reading the reviews of our compatriots and did not regret it. The prices for Istanbul are very affordable, the choice of dishes is large. There are a lot of people, including visitors, but there is always a place. I recommend

Excellent dining room, everything is fresh and delicious, large portions. There are a lot of people, but this is an indicator that it is delicious. 690 liras were given for this table in May 2024. The three of us ate enough and even stayed.

A nice dining room. Everything is delicious. The four of us had lunch for 1000 lire. The only thing is that at the checkout everyone counts on a calculator, if prices were more transparent, it would be ideal. As it is, it is unclear whether they charged us more or not.

A good canteen, for its price tag - just fine. We took different soups (chicken, tomato, lentil, beef - everything is OK. The rest of the food is also delicious, without frills, but satisfying and the portions are large. The first, second and dessert for two - about 375 lire comes out.
A huge plus - there is a toilet and the tables are cleaned quickly.
