We passed by this restaurant all the time, which we later regretted. In order to save money, we ate at the lokantasi (local canteens) during our entire trip to Istanbul and decided to treat ourselves at this place on the last day. It's just a delight! We took caesar (it seemed to me too much sauce, but overall it was delicious), but I was especially pleased with the chicken in almond sauce - right in the heart. Regarding prices, it's the same as in all places around, but unlike other places, here the quality matches the price. P.S. The service fee is included in the bill, so be careful with this.

The food is good and delicious. The portions are decent. The prices are medium-high, which is logical for the city center. Tips are included in the bill, 15 percent. They complimented me with tea and bread with sauce. Union Pay from the Rosselkhoznadzor did not pass.

We came to this place for dinner on the last day (for some reason, this particular restaurant was in my favorites, the reasons are unknown). I really liked everything! We ordered falafel salad + iskender kebab. And tea + smoothies. While we were waiting for the dish, we received a compliment in the form of a flatbread with olives. After we ate the main dishes, we wanted to pay back - we were again presented with compliments - tea + dessert. In general, we rolled out of there happy and well-fed. Thanks!

We settled down in the very center of Istanbul and for a long time could not figure out where to eat: mostly Turkish fatty foods and street food, which our stomachs and intestines are not used to. Well, after going to tripadvisor, we found an Otantik, which we returned to several evenings for dinner. The atmosphere, the interior, the compliment when serving and the serving itself, attention to the client - that's all. Here, crumbs are wiped off the table with a brush, as in Michelin restaurants) And it's all captivating/ But of course, dishes that are more similar to European cuisine are more captivating. Thank you, I will advise you all!

It's a good restaurant. The price tag is high, of course, but if you compare it with Istyakl Street, it's very humane. There is alcohol at a good price. The choice of dishes is quite large. They arrive quickly and cook deliciously. A flatbread and a spread are served as a compliment.

Pleasant place, excellent unobtrusive service. We tried chicken soup (190 lire), Turkish ravioli (490 lire), Americano coffee (170 lire), falafel (300 lire) - everything is very tasty. We were treated to Turkish tea for free. I advise you if you want to fortify yourself with high-quality non-street food. I will correct the review by lowering the rating-after a few hours my friend realized that he was poisoned, except for this restaurant they didn't eat anything anywhere. I suffered all night and the next day too. He took himself a kebab (see receipt)

A great place with very friendly staff, delicious cuisine, large portions and quite average prices, relatively similar locations in Istanbul. We had breakfast with my wife and got everything we wanted. Coffee, the dishes themselves, as a compliment to their very tasty tortilla. You can definitely take note of both breakfast and dinner. Once again, I would like to note the excellent service, which is used in Russia, but rarely found.

The atmosphere is pleasant, the staff is friendly and courteous. The prices are high, we only drank tea with desserts and paid for a full meal in other places. But the place looks exactly like a restaurant, with a beautiful and interesting interior, and cleanliness inside. In general, we didn't feel anything wrong, so I recommend it.

It's a very beautiful place inside, and when choosing it, we were attracted by a dish that is cooked over a campfire in large pots, but it turned out to be quite expensive for the price. We ordered chicken soup, it was delicious while it was hot, but when it started to cool down, it turned out to be some kind of liquid, we didn't have time to try other dishes.

A very pleasant cafe, cozy and atmospheric. You can sit outside, and if it's cold, then it's warm inside. Pleasant and courteous staff, attentive to visitors, friendly. The cuisine is delicious and varied. The serving of the dishes is beautiful and spectacular. The portions are large, if you order, then eat one dish. I recommend visiting if you are nearby. Unfortunately, I did not save the photo, there is only one thing left - a compliment from the institution.

Beautiful presentation and a pleasant host who speaks Russian. This, in our opinion, is the end of the advantages. The food is mediocre, and absolutely not cheap for such portions (for example: chicken is more expensive than 300 lire, a plate of meat is about 900 lire. 1 lira - 2.8 rubles). At the same time, the kebab and chicken were over-dried. There are many places in Istanbul where prices are lower and the food is tastier.

An amazing place! To our very discerning taste, this is the first Turkish restaurant in the historical center of Istanbul, where it is really delicious! Very tasty! The staff is amazingly polite and courteous, the service exceeds expectations. Cuisines: European, Thai, Turkish. There are breakfasts. The street where the restaurant is located is quiet, it is a pleasure to have dinner on the veranda. We will come back more than once! And we will certainly advise you!

I've had a great time. We decided to have a snack at this restaurant, trusting the positive reviews. Prices are at the level of not cheap Moscow restaurants, which should have affected the quality of the food. It doesn't taste bad, but the amount is of course unreasonably high for these places. Plus, a dachshund is automatically entered into the receipt. And as a result, I got poisoned by a kebab and vomited all evening, and then I felt sick for a few more days. Apart from this restaurant, we didn't eat anywhere else that day. I don't know if the meat was rotten or if the cook hadn't washed his hands, but they ruined part of the trip with it. Of the advantages there, except that the friendly restaurant administrator.

A cozy small cafe, friendly staff, a varied menu for every taste and budget. Very comfortable sofas and interesting decoration. Kahvaltı is just a bomb, and cheeses, and vegetables/fruits, and pastries, and sweets - you can't list everything. The only thing that is not on the menu is alcohol. But this should not stop you- come with your own, no one is against it. P.S. Rafael, Metin-teşekkür ederim 👍🏽

Prices are not cheap, Turkish coffee is 150 liras. Coffee is served with a glass of water and a glass with an artificial plastic flower. Well, we have not seen this yet. The Turkish tea is too strong, the cappuccino is the most common. The toilet is public, next to the road where the garbage truck was rolling back and forth. The place didn't get into the mood)
