There were three of us + a small child. The food is great! The mutton is the best. And the most interesting thing is that it's very cheap, plus a bunch of free add-ons. First, they brought us a large salad and a portion of couscous mix for free. When we paid, we realized that 4 Turkish coffees and tea were not counted for us either. Well, there are many different kinds of bread. We were very surprised, usually on the contrary - they will slip something extra for the money. The staff is also very nice. However, we were in the rain and there were few visitors. The location is good - on the boulevard next to the aqueduct.

These guys know how to eat meat! I strongly recommend visiting this place if you want to eat meat. Mutton is made like the Gods. No kidding. And most importantly, the prices are very reasonable. I recommend Adana kebab! They know Russian, and it's important to those who do. We got there on Belkovich's recommendation.

It's just a divine place, a meat gastronomic delight for very little money! We had a lamb meat mix, salads, lentil soup, lamb with vegetables! Everything was just divine! Tea, vegetables and side dish are a compliment! I highly recommend this place! Thanks a lot to the chef and the staff, especially Kuvata!

The meat was absolutely delicious - perfectly cooked, juicy and very flavorful. We ate well and left extremely satisfied. The appetizers were also excellent: hummus, salad and babaganush - everything is very tasty. The prices for March 2026 are quite reasonable. The waiter was very friendly and pleasant, which made the experience of the visit even better. Definitely recommend it! 😊

A cozy place, we ordered a barbecue, everything is very tasty, tender meat and fresh salads. A salad and bulgur were brought as a gift, but they were not included in the bill. There is a Russian-speaking staff, the menu has the names of dishes in English, so we figured it out without any problems. Nice service, lots of locals. We came based on the reviews and didn't regret it.

You should also look for good meat in Istanbul, but if you want delicious juicy meat, then you definitely need to go to Mato. We ordered three different types and you'll lick your fingers! There are different Iftar menus. There is no alcohol in any form. You can kill two birds with one stone and view the Aqueduct from different angles and have a delicious meal!

The best place in Istanbul!! The service is at the highest level, incredibly delicious! Given the unreasonably high price tag for food in Turkey, everything in this place is at reasonable prices. Tea and salad are a compliment. I definitely recommend it

Topchik restaurant! We saw in some review about a food tour; so we arrived in Istanbul, walked to the aqueduct and went into it. The menu is very diverse, very tasty food with a beautiful presentation and at low prices. There we also tried Salgam with Ayran for the first time - incredibly delicious, now we are looking for where to get it at home))) We were sitting in comfort on the second floor with a view of the aqueduct, the check for two of us came out to 900 lira. I think this is an excellent price-quality ratio. Of course, there are expensive dishes, but this is for the next time. So I definitely recommend it!

A great restaurant with delicious meat dishes! Reasonable price tag and fast service. If you decide to take a look at the aqueduct, then you should definitely stop by! On 10/29/2025, we had a big meal for two for 1,450 liras -+ 3,000₽, which is sooo good at Istanbul prices.

A sign of the quality of the place - there are no annoying barkers in the restaurant, many local companies come in, there is no calculation for one-time tourists. Responsive, friendly waiters (some understand English well enough), reasonable prices. Delicious, large portions. They bring tortillas, salad, and side dishes for free, which are then not included in the bill, unlike many other establishments. Fast and attentive service. All the meat dishes are of very good quality. View of the aqueduct. There is no alcohol)

A cool, mesmerizing and very authentic place. Polite and very caring staff, they communicate a little in Russian (enough to order). It is worth visiting to get incredible pleasure and expand your consciousness. Of the disadvantages, it is worth noting : active traffic (it is worth being careful and vigilant). Since you have moved away from the center, the next side of Istanbul opens up here, namely very poor and impoverished people. To summarize: I can definitely recommend this place 👍

We went there because they said there was Uzbek and Kazakh cuisine, there was nothing like it, ordinary Turkish lula and all the other dry food.

The prices on the website and in fact (more expensive) differed twice. We ordered two kebabs and soup - 400 lire. The food tastes normal, no frills are noticed) Of the advantages, right next to the aqueduct, you can sit down with views of it.

The dishes are on fire. The restaurant is popular with locals, clearly middle class. There's a kitchen smell inside, but the portions are decent. The price tag is the same as in the nearest restaurants near the hotels. In the evening, there is almost a full boarding of locals and tourists.
