We found this fish restaurant on the Internet before the trip. Guo's review said that this inexpensive restaurant is frequented by locals and seafood is well prepared in it. And so it was. A small restaurant. There is a Russian-speaking waiter who helped us navigate the menu. Prices for November 25 are on average 400- 500 lira per serving. The portions are normal. We took one different one. I had enough for dinner. Tea was given for free. Payment in cash or by card. We liked this place.

A place where locals eat. It's not a noticeable sign, but it's definitely worth a visit. The waiter spoke to us in Russian. The menu is ordinary, but the waiter can show you photos of dishes and suggest a choice. The fish soup is delicious. We ordered rock bass - tender, not overcooked, cooked just perfectly. They give bread and spread before meals and water for free. And at the end they treat you to tea and dessert. I want to return to this place!

We found this restaurant by chance on the rating map. We decided to trust and did not lose. Inconspicuous at first glance, but how pleasant and delicious it turned out to be! There is a waiter named Ali who speaks Russian. We tried the local fish (600 lire) and liked it so much that we ordered it again right there. We also ordered a small portion of fish soup (150 lire) and a vegetable salad (150 lire). Finally, we were treated to dessert - pumpkin seen with a sauce of sunflower seeds is delicious!

We had a delicious meal, grilled fish, sea bass and minicop for 650l each, we also took shrimp in a frying pan for 550l, and a seasonal salad. They brought everything very, very tasty and quickly. The waiter in Russian helped with the menu. At the end, tea was brought for free and a pumpkin dessert was very nice and delicious.

The menu is small, but very tasty fish (it's better to take a grill, not fried in batter). Mutton, mackerel It's modest, there are paper tablecloths, there are no desserts, but the fish here is excellent. Mackerel 450, mutton 400. The salad is strange (crumbled tomatoes, carrots, lettuce leaves), but everything is harmonious)

The only negative is for the inconspicuous sign and interior. It's a very small place. It looks like a canteen, not a restaurant. But the place is very popular with knowledgeable people. They cook fish perfectly! Delicious spicy shrimp. The grilled salmon was not overdried for the first time, the sea bass is also good. The menu is not big, but there is soup, vegetables with the proud name "salad", and hot snacks. All fish ingredients are the freshest. For the seasonal salad, soup, shrimp, salmon and sea bass, two bottles of water were charged 1,600 t.l. Very budget!

I really liked it, it was quite tasty. A cool Russian-speaking waiter who helped with the selection, saved my dead phone, and also helped me find my stole, which I left there and returned for it the next day. The spread and bread are free, everything is great

Very nice fish restaurant! My wife and I came here by chance and we really liked it. First of all, the waiter speaks Russian well, very politely and unobtrusively told us about all the dishes on the menu, and offered to try fish that we don't have in Russia. Secondly, all the ordered dishes are very tasty and incomparable! The waiter did not deceive - there are many different fish in Russia and they are also delicious here, but we really do not have such fish. The restaurant looks simple, but the food here is amazing.

It is really strange that there are few reviews. A charming place. The waiter speaks Russian, is efficient and courteous. He told me everything and showed me. We took salad, sardines, squid and local fish, which he recommended. All together it cost 1000 lire. It was very tasty, quickly cooked, the table was covered with a new disposable tablecloth. The place itself is next to Kadikoy pier, but the street is quiet and cozy. I recommend

It looks very authentic, but there is a great variety of classic meat menus from most Turkish establishments. 😉 We ordered dorado on the grill, soup, shrimp with garlic - everything is great. 👍 The owners are from Uzbekistan, they speak excellent Russian.

The fish is delicious. I had to wait 20 minutes. It's nice inside, but cramped and fussy. The prices are high (350-400 lira per non-giant portion), for such prices we would like more than "just good fish like everywhere else."

The food is delicious. This is a definite plus. Plus, they bring it quickly. The interior, the service, the atmosphere – these are all big disadvantages. I got the impression that you have to swallow what they brought very quickly. And walk away just as fast

The service is fast. The food is normal. It's nice that water, bread and sauce are included in the service, for an order of 30 lire. If you take a full meal, you will get at least 1000 lire per person. Portions are modest

A completely unaffordable place with absolutely mind-blowing fish. It is strange that there are few ratings, we would certainly have passed by if not for a couple of reviews. I'll add my own. Be sure to take a look if you don't know where to eat delicious, fast and inexpensive food. The place is obviously popular among the locals, we came and sat down at the only available table, when we went out there was a queue of 10 people on the street.

I went here even before the review appeared on Yandex maps, the restaurant didn't have a menu, but I had to go to the window and choose a fish. The last one remains and the menu is already there, but in 4 years the fish seems to have become even tastier, I recommend it.

Why not 5, but 4 stars is too expensive for 2 servings of shrimp and soup. We gave away about 4,600 rubles for one serving of salad and fried mackerel, plus (probably) 2 pieces of tea and 2 pieces of water for free. My wife liked everything, I only liked the soup, although it was bland (but it was normal after salt and lemon). I spilled one tea on the table, and they brought me another. They were very polite. Overall, this is probably the best seafood restaurant in Istanbul. Without a doubt, it was worth coming here. The host (maybe not) He was extremely polite and knew Russian. If you ask if I recommend this restaurant or not, the unequivocal answer is I do. For lovers of fish cuisine, you will definitely like it. I'm just not a big fan of fish, my wife wanted fish gastronomy. She really liked it. I didn't give it a five, only because I don't particularly like fish and it's expensive compared to other restaurants. But I'm sure it's worse in other seafood restaurants.
