We visited this place a couple of days ago, it's an amazing cafe! The prices are fully justified, all the food is incredibly delicious. Sultan's favorite and carrot hummus were especially admired, but other dishes are great. The staff is very helpful, friendly and very unobtrusive, which sets this cafe apart from many others in Istanbul. Thanks! We hope to return and will definitely recommend this place to our friends.

A very unusual cozy place filled with warmth, calm music and wine. If you want not only to eat (in Istanbul, food is offered at every turn), but also to spend time enjoying food, tranquility and conversation, then you are here. There's no noisy crowd here. People come here to enjoy life and moments without rushing it. Wonderful cuisine, polite and Turkish-speaking staff, wonderful atmosphere.

The place may seem a little sparsely populated, but don't be alarmed. Our Bali waiter served us and he's cool. We took the meat, we took the fish, and it was all delicious, but not that important. If you want to try local specialties, we strongly recommend that you stop by and try a set of local wines. It's an interesting experience, but Bali was even more interesting to talk about them in good English. The place itself is cozy and good music is playing. In short, like it. It's better than those pubs where the strange types on this street will invite you.

A very cozy and cozy restaurant. Perfect for dates and a quiet cozy evening. Both the menu and the service are at the highest level! We tried both meat and fish- everything is perfect. I recommend meat in an amphora to everyone- you can lick your fingers.

Very tasty! Huge portions, relatively inexpensive place. I took fish, snacks, coffee and water. About 1300 lire. If you pay in cash, the bill is smaller. They do not include tax. Atmospheric, cozy, pleasant service. And delicious

It's very cozy, the coziest place in Istanbul has not been found. Prices are average for the city center. Fish 900 lire, wine 330, beer 250 (October 2025). The waiters are very friendly. The only thing is that we waited a long time for a hot one, although the landing was not complete. But it didn't spoil the impression.

If you're tired of kebabs, you should come here. The restaurant is small and cozy, with 12 tables. The prices are Moscow-based, the service and food are consistent. The two of them got 3,400 lira, or 7,500 rubles at the current exchange rate. We took a pan of seafood, sultan's appetizer and a cashew cake, everything is very tasty. The local red wine is the same as the Crimean one, apparently due to the similar climate, so there was no wow effect. In short, I recommend taking a look. Diljan, thanks for the discussion

a cozy restaurant located in the old part of the city, the guys have a good selection of food and alcohol. the portions are large, the meat is not bad, but it is necessary to specify the roasting (by default, they bring medium well) The bill includes 10 percent for the service, which is very different from most cafes in the area. The waiters are wonderful!!

A very authentic, spectacular establishment almost in the center of the tourist part of Istanbul. Near Sultanahmet. Serving dishes as a separate art form, for which you can gladly pay a little more than the market average. We noticed such a feature - that no one invites you to good establishments where there is a stable clientele. This is exactly such an institution👍 Definitely like it. A nice end to your vacation in this wonderful city. God willing, we'll come back here more than once!

I don't understand why there are so many laudatory reviews. You're sitting in a basement on the outskirts, and you're paying like for a reputable restaurant in the center of Moscow. The menu is extremely meager, almost all the dishes are marked (vegan). The taste is very trivial, there will be no "wow" effect. The attitude of the staff is, frankly, cool, they literally dismiss you and clearly make it clear that they are not up to you. You won't get the change, they'll forget about the dish you ordered, but they'll carefully include it in the bill. Dishes like grandma's in the village, a cup from one set, a saucer from another, a plate from a third. Food is delivered directly through the front door, which is scary because the door is constantly being opened.

Not a bad place to have dinner. For three, 3.5 thousand lira came out. Which is a bit much, of course. We tried the wine. It's funny. Out of the pleasant, it was interesting to order a pot on fire and we were treated to apple tea. I like to help myself. We respect that.

A cozy place with great food, service and atmosphere!The service is 5%, the prices are far above average, but for today's Istanbul this is the norm!On Friday evening, they sat down at a table without prior reservation, which was good, because Friday is Friday everywhere..The waiters are very polite and customer-oriented, the cuisine is excellent, the selection of Turkish wines is very wide

If you are tired of the bright colors and faded advertising banners of Istanbul, you are welcome here. An amazing restaurant, a large selection of drinks, and reasonable prices. And also very smart guys. P.S. on the basis of the Roman crypt of 361, there is (sort of) a room. Even the layout of the menu deserves special praise.

We visited Arch Bistro and were very satisfied. A cozy atmosphere, attentive service and really delicious food. The dishes are served beautifully and with taste, it feels like they approach the matter with their hearts. I especially liked the meat — it's perfectly cooked. A great place to sit quietly in the evening. I recommend.

It's a stylish and beautiful place, very cozy. Large portions. The receipt is above average. It cost 2,200 lire for two people. Serving the dish is as usual as everywhere else. The pasta was brought in an ordinary Soviet plate! I asked for sweet wine, and they brought sour wine, but my wife liked it, and I left sober. We ordered meze, but they forgot to bring it, so we left without it.

A nice and atmospheric place, with a classic set of Turkish dishes, a good attitude towards the client and high-quality food. But nothing that causes delight or an explosion of gastronomic perception, just high-quality, pleasant and timely.

Diljan It's a good place, with European music and cuisine. We did not find anything similar in the area and the choice fell on this restaurant. All the waiters are very polite, they know English, basically super. Prices are slightly above the average for the area 1,500 lire per person

An incredible place hidden under a pile of Kebabs and nearby restaurants with the same theme. Everything is different here. Extensive menu selection, alcohol, original drinks, unrealistic serving of dishes. I was very surprised by the hot dishes served in amphorae and the unplanned birthday greetings, the music that played throughout the restaurant and the huge cake. Gratitude! I advise everyone!

We chose an institution based on positive reviews, but in the end I was disappointed. Yes, the surroundings are not bad, but that's it. Many people wrote about the unobtrusive staff, so when one person is fully seated for an entire room, he simply forgets about most of the guests and their orders. Probably for the same reason, you have to wait for the menu, as well as orders, for half an hour or more, even drinks. For any questions, they point to the qr code, they say, figure it out for yourself. If you like sweet Turkish coffee, they won't make it for you, they'll just bring you a regular one with a 1:1 thickener and tell you to add the sugar yourself. For those who do not know, sugar is usually added to Turkish coffee during cooking, so as not to interfere with the finished drink and not drink the grounds as a result. Spicy dishes are not marked on the menu in any way. The average check for two people, at least 2000 lire, without alcohol. One could say that the place is more suitable to sit in a pleasant atmosphere, but if there is at least one company in the hall, the evening will not be quiet. As a result, it's long, expensive, and it's not a fact that it will be delicious. Tips are included in the bill, your meals may be forgotten, as well as change when paying the bill.
