Excellent restaurant, everything is very tasty olivier, herring under a fur coat, dumplings, borscht. We were on New Year's holidays, we wanted something of our own and were very glad that we came here. This is the first restaurant where we really enjoyed Olivier. The portions are huge, you can safely take a fur coat and an olivier for two. The staff is very pleasant, the service is 5.

A great place where you can taste the taste of home when you've had enough of burger joints, kebabs and all sorts of other cuisines. Borscht, vodka, herring, rye bread. The guests are well received. They speak Russian. Russian Russian-style design, samovars, tablecloths, etc. Russian music of unobtrusive volume. Everything is clean and tidy. The average check is $30-40 per person, and there's a reason for that) The portions are decent. 1 serving of herring under a fur coat can replace a full meal. Therefore, I advise you to take a half!)

We found him because my husband really missed Russian cuisine. The dishes are very close to Russian, the portions are large, the salads were taken in halves. It's a beautiful interior, but there's not much light. The manager speaks Russian and told us the history of the restaurant.

A nice restaurant with Russian cuisine. I really liked all the dishes we ordered. The okroshka on thick kefir and for some reason with carrots turned out to be somewhat specific. Apparently we don't know anything about okroshka in Russia). The average check for two people is 2,500 Turkish lira. I can recommend a rest to visit, especially if you are bored to hell with local kebabs and breakfasts in hotels)

To be honest, we came only after many recommendations. But they were disappointed. The borscht was too empty, there was not enough herring in the herring under the fur coat, of all, perhaps, I liked only the homemade potatoes, lard and pickled garlic + dumplings with potatoes. What is called a honey cake is more like a kind of sour cream. I'm not ready to recommend it, I admit. Although the taste and color.

We had dinner at this restaurant on 7.10.24. The order was accepted by the beautiful Tatiana. Thank you for staying late on shift and taking the order! We were fed delicious beef borscht with Borodino bread, chic beef stroganoff with mashed potatoes, Kiev cutlet with potatoes. The food is very tasty, the serving is fast! A great playlist for those who miss their native places! Thank you very much and prosperity to you!

I liked the interior, the service, the prices. According to the dishes, everything is prepared in different ways, so I can't say that I liked everything 100%. I really liked the draniki and cabbage pies.

A fairly good restaurant with average prices. It is positioned as a Russian restaurant, the cuisine is very good, the dishes are delicious, quite similar but with a certain Turkish touch))). There are a lot of visitors in the restaurant and apparently the Turks themselves really like this place. I had dinner with pleasure. There is a Russian-speaking staff. I recommend it for those who do not like the national Turkish cuisine at all, here you will have a delicious meal.

We lived at the MGallery Artisan Hotel and accidentally went to the Russian restaurant Ayaspaşa for a light. And such a warm atmosphere, I'll tell you. Live music: two ladies sing very well the old hits of Pugacheva, Dobrynin, Antonov. All the tables were occupied, we were just lucky that one was free. To be honest, we didn't want to eat, but it actually smelled so good that we decided to stay. Russian Russians will try their Russian vodka, black bread, and herring. Actually, they took it. And lard too. And a Kiev cutlet. Everything is delicious. And very emotionally

She came twice The first time I ordered olivier, I didn't like the taste, it was very sour, but I thought everyone cooks in their own way, it's normal that they might not like it But on the second day I ordered herring with potatoes, they bring cold potatoes, raw and sour, just imagine potatoes that have been standing in a campfire for a couple of days, and they taste terrible and raw! Russian Russians eat such potatoes here, and there should be such potatoes, now I would like to explain to a Russian person about potatoes. I called the waiter, I say the potatoes are raw, and he starts making a fool of me...

Great food, much better than Turkish. The staff is in Russian, served quickly and efficiently. The food is delicious! Vodka is good, snacks are top! The price tag is adequate, unlike other Turkish establishments where they want to rip you off in three skins. Thank you guys, you are great!

In any case, no matter how much you like Turkish cuisine, there comes a time when you want to diversify the menu and remember the taste of something native. If you still have similar thoughts and you came across this institution, then I recommend that you pass by. Now, in fact, I confess, in August, after a week's stay in Istanbul, I was cowardly and I was overcome with the desire to walk over herring and potatoes, and for this case I wanted to skip 50 grams of vodka according to the recipe. We sat down in this establishment and clarified about the freshness of the products, received an affirmative nod that everything was OK, ordered.... We are waiting, and now they have finally arrived. It's good that we weren't hungry, the herring was not just not fresh, but with such a rotten spirit that we didn't even need to try. As the classic said, "My mood immediately dropped" and turned into an enduring feeling of disgust. In order to avoid any other excesses, I preferred to support the annoyed body with 50 grams and flew away to look for ordinary Turkish cuisine. The date with the Motherland had to be postponed until better times, or rather places. In fairness, it should be noted that 50 grams came in like family, there are no questions about this. Be careful when choosing an establishment.

If you want to experience nostalgia, especially if you have a show ticket at AKM, a Russian meal would go great first! This restaurant, where you will taste real Russian dishes, has no analogue in Istanbul. And don't forget to try vodka.

Hello. We came here by chance, it was just the day of the Republic of Turkey and it was our first day in Istanbul. The service is zero, we waited for the order for almost half an hour, but the waiter who served us did not warn us that pork sausages, he also lives in a Muslim country, he must know the traditions and culture of the people. and the service is also zero just like that - no smile, no communication, no familiarization with the menu, it works like a robot-recorded-transmitted-brought. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE!

Visited in December 2022. The antique interior, the atmosphere is calm and cozy. Borscht is good, but not the best, and they ate it tastier. Olivier is good 🤌 sliced meat and cutlet according to Kiev generally top 🔝. We ordered lunch and dinner with us and paid 1500 rubles, just fine 👍 But when we had dinner, we got a little upset. The kebab is bland, and the potatoes with mushrooms are not spicy either. In general, in any case, it is worth a visit, especially if you have been in Istanbul for a long time and want to remember the comfort of home) But I think that after all, their cook is not Russian, so there is a bit of a lack of refinement with the food.
