We visited Galata Lily Cafe & Restaurant - overall, the impressions were good. Excellent location next to Galata Tower, pleasant atmosphere, especially on the terrace. The food is delicious, the portions are normal, the menu is universal - suitable for both breakfast and lunch. The service is neat, the drinks and desserts are good. On the downside, the service can be slow during the rush hours, and prices are slightly above average due to the tourist location. In general, it is a worthy place to relax and have a snack.

It's a complete horror. We visited based on good reviews, in fact: the room is in the basement, there are no windows, the prices are atomic, the salmon was over-dried for 1400 lire, the squid looks and tastes terrible nonsense, the rubber and some terrible sauce are all tasteless, we were terribly dissatisfied The menu is meager, there is almost no fish at all The only advantage is the location

They came to have dinner. Honestly, it's just terrible. We ordered grilled salmon and two versions of cooked squid. It's a complete disappointment, we haven't eaten such terrible food for a long time. The cooking is disgusting, all the dishes are ruined by cooking. I do not recommend visiting this place.

A super cozy place with home cooking! I recommend to try the eskender for those who like meat. There is a Wi-Fi, but not very fast. Prices are slightly above average

A great place with delicious cuisine, no "fancy" interior, just a local cafe that is definitely worth a look. Pleasant atmosphere and music

We stumbled upon this atmospheric cafe by chance and there was a beautiful view of the Galata Tower if you sit on the street. We drank coffee, watched the passers-by and ate a big and hearty dinner. 🤌🏻 The waiter is very pleasant and polite. Thank you 🙏🏻

We came based on reviews. The estimate is too high right away. What I liked was, in principle, clean, cozy, although it would not hurt to clean the toilet (a full urn, dirty floor). The waiters are normal, they know the menu, they are polite. Tea - 4 minus, Meze - 1 (hummus is sour, not fresh. The rest of the spreads were not impressed, pita bread is cold, rubber), lentil soup - 3+ (few spices), kefte - 1 (rice was digested, meat was overcooked, the meatballs turned out dry, the only good thing in the dish was French fries).
