We arrived in Istanbul for the first time, stayed in the very heart of this picturesque city, and on the very first day, in search of an evening meal, we wandered into this wonderful place... and could not "leave", we went to dinner all 5 days of our vacation only here) Now about what attracted you: A very cozy restaurant, in comparison with many establishments in the nearby streets, clean, warm, pleasant music; The owner of the establishment speaks excellent Russian.; Very tasty cuisine, huge portions, beautiful serving, a good selection of dishes, excellent lamb cooking; There are always treats, welcome dishes, hummus, yogurt, etc. for guests. At the end, they bring a variety of teas and sweets, all as a gift from the restaurant for free) Importantly, a 6-year-old child ate all the dishes with pleasure! We were more than satisfied if we arrive in Istanbul again, we already know where to go)

It's really delicious here. Huge portions, after ordering, they always bring out additional tortillas and spreadings, and finally tea. The staff is pleasant, they always try to help and explain everything, even to the most Russian-speaking tourists))) We had some funny cases of cultural exchange). In general, this is not a luxury restaurant, but if you want delicious Turkish food, then this is a great option.

It's a very nice place. The cafe owner speaks Russian. We had kefta and kebab, the portions were large. Everything is very tasty. Snacks are served before the main course. Turkish coffee is generally beyond praise.

We came to rest on November 8, 2025, and found this cafe by chance. We looked at the prices, compared them, and they turned out to be cheaper than the others. A big plus for us is that the owner of this cafe speaks Russian. 🔥🔥🔥. We decided to try it and WOW. It's simply incomparable, one dish is tastier than the other, we went here every day while we rested. People go and many follow the recommendations, and it costs a lot. The staff is helpful, the food is delicious and fresh. The atmosphere is warm! Therefore, if you are looking for a place to eat!!!!! Don't hesitate! Come in, order, and you will be satisfied. This cafe has prosperity and do not lower the bar!!!!

It's a very warm and sweet place! In addition to the order, as a compliment, we were given a large Pita with different spreads. And the Burger itself, which we ordered, turned out to be very tasty, light and satisfying. The owner is very hospitable and speaks Russian with the customers, which is very accommodating. We'll go back to smoke a hookah in the evening. I advise you from the bottom of my heart)

A gorgeous place where everything is great! This was the first rest, where we came from tired from the road, hungry. The staff is very pleasant and polite. They lifted the mood. The staff, including, speaks a little Russian. We quickly took the order and prepared the food. The portions are large for everyone: both food and drinks. The pitch is beautiful, apparently, especially for tourists. As a compliment, tea with soup. The prices are average, they do not bend, the dinner is worth the money - the atmosphere, the service, the communication. Everything was fine!

It's a beautiful place! The host invites people himself and speaks almost all languages. Freshly baked lavash and hummus/sourdough are served as an appetizer. There were two times. The two of them ordered kebabs and Turkish dumplings for the first time, two beers, the second time beef shawarma on a plate and shrimp, beer and wine - everything is perfect without complaints. On average, both dinners cost 1300 lire. The outdoor tables are equipped with an infrared lamp, so it was very warm and cozy to have dinner outside in late February and early March. Bonus: you can pay by transfer to a Russian card if you run out of lira

I found a place based on reviews and because they wanted a kebab. The place is beyond praise! Everything was prepared quickly, delicious, and the service was courteous and pleasant. The price tag is above average, but it was definitely worth it!

We thought the reviews were hyped, because the rating of 5 with 200+ reviews looks suspicious, but we were wrong. The staff speaks Russian well, the food is delicious, the portions are large, the local cats are fat and affectionate, and in the end they treated us to tea from On ze house. In addition, the prices are decent. As they say, senkyu is grateful for the warm welcome.

The first evening in Istanbul was a success because we chose this cafe for dinner. It's very cozy and cute, and it's also incredibly delicious. I haven't eaten such a vegetable stew for a long time, but my husband liked the kebab. We would be happy to recommend this place.

We came to this institution based on reviews and did not lose! Friendly staff, speak several languages (English, Russian, German), Food prices are very reasonable, there is alcohol. We quickly accepted the order for food, brought an aperitif (lavash with pomade), it was a gift from the establishment, All the food was delivered within 5-7 minutes. Everything was very tasty, the most interesting thing is that the portions were ordered one for two, because the volume is impressive. Tea was also brought after the meal, as well as a gift from the institution. So I advise everyone, it's a very cozy and pleasant place.

The portions are huge, you can't handle a kebab alone. but the price tag is not the lowest, for one dish - + 500 lira (at the time of the trip, 1200 rubles). Please visit this establishment.

The place is very warm and delicious! The two of them came hungry, ordered two kebabs, a dolma and a salad. The whole table is set!! They brought free tortillas, adjika, delicious hummus and white sauce. The portions are huge, we couldn't finish them... The guys are the smartest at work – they speak several languages (including Russian). We chatted and laughed heartily. We sincerely recommend it!

We ate at this place on 02/09/2025. We read a lot of positive reviews and decided to have dinner. On the doorstep of the establishment, the employee said that tea, meze and baklava were a gift. We ordered a lamb dish, the portions were small, the meat was not chewed, and tea was included in the bill, plus another percentage for the service. When I wanted to ask questions to an employee who invites me to a cafe, he quickly ran out of sight. Another man who spoke Russian apologized to us. I do not recommend this establishment.

Very tasty fish and shrimps! The owner is very friendly. His relative works in the restaurant, who speaks Russian well. The prices are average. As a free bonus, tortillas with sauces were served so that it would not be boring to wait for the main course. And then there are more seagulls with sweets. So I highly recommend it!

We had dinner twice (so far): the food is super tasty, the portions are big, the guys who work (I don't want to call the staff) are very friendly, speak very well in English, some in Russian (which is especially nice), positive guys, ask, talk. There are always a lot of people. We highly recommend it

It's a strange place, I don't recommend it. They promise a bunch of gifts at the entrance, and then all these "gifts" are included in the bill, and tax free is added on top. But this is half the trouble - the food is not tasty, the lamb kebab was not chewed at all. Someone wrote that the five of them ate a portion, it's funny… The portions are small, the prices are high. 550 lire for five pieces of shish kebab with a side dish. But it was the attitude and hypocrisy that upset me the most - first they smile, then they deceive)
