Sometimes the best places are just around the corner from your hotel. That's how it happened with the Serbethane Cafe & Restaurant — we stumbled upon it by chance while walking through the evening Sultanahmet. We just wanted to have dinner somewhere nearby, but we found a real gem. The cafe doesn't stand out from the outside, but once you enter, you enter another world. The city center and peace are wonderfully combined here. Tourists pass by, hurrying to the Blue Mosque, and inside there is soft light, warm air, quiet music and conversations in low voices. In the courtyard, there is a terrace hidden from prying eyes, which offers an incredible view of the Blue Mosque — its domes seem very close, as if you could touch them with your hand. We settled down by the window and ordered testi kebabs, manti and tavuk kanat — chicken wings, which are served here with smoke, a ruddy crust and a light aroma of spices. When the waiter brought out a testi kebab—a clay pot with meat and vegetables sealed with dough—it looked like a small ritual. You break the lid, and the aroma escapes from inside — rich, spicy, real taste. But ... in general, you will not find any strong difference from homemade stew. Spectacular, no doubt, delicious, of course, but I can't tell you that you've never tried something like this in your life. And the cost of this pleasure is not cheap, it is in this cafe that 3.6 k (in Russian rubles) can be found cheaper, but for less than 1.6 k (Russian rubles) you won't find it.

You can come in for coffee or tea.In the evening, the price tags go through the roof, just like everyone else's.The cuisine is almost the same for everyone, but each restaurant has its own tricks.Cleanliness and order are maintained.The staff is smiling, they try to understand Russian and please the client.

I am glad that I have the opportunity to leave a review about this place. I think this is the best place where we ate delicious food in the Fatih area.. We have been there several times.. We ordered different dishes every time.. We have never checked out!! What can not be said about other similar establishments that we visited there! It's delicious here and the receipt doesn't scare you! You realize that you paid for a good meal! It 's a shame to eat it warmed up ..more precisely, even half-heated food and dump half of the wallet for it. And here it's delicious, fast, fresh..clearly freshly cooked food and pleasant staff!! 5 stars!!!

Great place! The hookah is excellent, the chef with a soul, arranges great shows. A little expensive. But also like everywhere else in the historical center of Istanbul at this time...

Like everywhere else on Sultanahmet, it's expensive. But at the same time with dignity.

The name of the place alone suggests that the price will be higher than everywhere else. But everything is fine, as it is everywhere in Istanbul. No need to think about tips, as a rule, they are already being put on the bill.
