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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

Great dining room. The meat is well stewed. The portions are large, you can take one meat and one side dish for two. Budget prices for desserts. They came to take them with them and then eat them with tea in the room.

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.

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.

They are very tasty and large portions, it is disappointing that there is a lot of excitement, not to sit down, and when I have finished, people ask to sit down.

A good kitchen. Prices are extremely low compared to the surrounding establishments. Good service, the staff more or less interprets English.
One of the disadvantages is that the toilet is in a depressing state.

Food prices are more affordable compared to the environment, but they are usually not very hot, except for soup.
Although there is always a queue at the door, there is a place inside. He can handle desserts, but his dishes seem a little salty to me.

The prices shown on the showcase and on the menu are for locals only. If you are a foreigner and do not know Turkish, you will be deceived. They'll just come up with an amount out of their head, type it on a calculator and show it to you. Pay or leave.
We took a salad, rice, and a portion of meat. They gave 280 lire for it. After me, a local man ordered the same thing, they charged him half as much and he also had tea.
They are fed regular food, of an acceptable level. It's like in a good dining room. Satisfying. But tourists are being deceived.

I do not give 5 stars to catering... fundamentally... but I couldn't resist here. I liked the quality - really homemade food. And it is 2 times cheaper than in a cafe. We even came here to have lunch the next day. Lentil soup and chickpeas have become a must-have meal. Everything else was sampled... It's different every time. Everything is very tasty. A little oil is a lot... but ... on vacation, you can enjoy yourself and.... delicious. There was no heartburn. A similar institution was tried in Kadikoy (a little further than McDonald's) and then it was found (they lived in the Fatih area). Since we don't know Turkish, we pointed and showed the number of servings (1) and they put it on us. There are a lot of locals here. After that, the cafes practically stopped going to kebabs... and there are trays to take away. Stuffed zucchini turned out to be tastier than peppers. So make sure to come in once. We spent 156, 250 and 300 lire for lunch for three of us. We drank coffee in pastry shops with a cool bagel. Here the pastry is made with sugar, not honey.
