I don't know what to add to the positive reviews. Fast, tasty and satisfying! One of the best Duryum Balls in the city, definitely 100% ready to visit, but get ready to stand in line, this particular point is in demand among the locals. But the queue can be brightened up by Russian music, which cook is constantly turning on. 😅 I don't know why, but his playlist is almost entirely made up of Russian tracks.) A nice little thing for Russian speakers.

Original! Fried boneless fish carcass with herbs, pomegranate and spices wrapped in lavash, and fried on the outside! It turns out a fish shawarma... It is possible with one fish, it is possible with two - double. Delicious!!! It's unusual! And after a few days I wanted to eat again! There is a queue for the fish in the lavash. It is popular among locals and foreigners alike. Enjoy your meal!

The balyk is juicy and delicious, considering that there is no sauce here, but only lemon juice, vegetables and the fish itself. It costs 250 lire. The disadvantage is that there is nowhere to sit inside the establishment itself, there are only benches around the corner and chairs right at the exit along the sidewalk. The place is definitely worth a visit to experience the atmosphere of Istanbul street food and try the excellent balik durum! And about the price - it's too high, Mario's, for example, is 50 lire cheaper, and in non-tourist places you can even see it for 180.

An excellent establishment that conveys the atmosphere of Istanbul. The friendly host will twist the incomparable shawarma with mackerel. Spices, sharpness, sourness will complement the taste of fish with new colors. I recommend it for lovers of Oriental cuisine

To be honest, this ballet ekmek has never attracted me, rather the opposite. For example, passing by an Avenue where everything is saturated with this smell, I did not understand how people eat it. But then I decided to try it, because the place is really popular, there is almost always a queue. They cook cool, fast and quite edible. The lavash is thin, appetizingly fried, the sauce is green, a pleasant combination. I think those who like fish will definitely come in.

This place just has to be on your list to visit! The dish is prepared here according to the original recipe of the founder, and it's really worth a try. The guys work fast, and the taste is incredible, so don't be afraid of the queue! It is important to note that if you do not like spicy food, it is better to ask in advance not to add pepper, so that you do not have to write a negative review! I especially liked that they use a lot of vegetables here, not like everywhere else, and it turns out juicy and rich. It's not just food, it's a real gastronomic delight! I recommend it to everyone who appreciates the taste and national dishes!

The first time I was here on a weekday, there was a small queue, the service was fast enough and it turned out to be delicious. I wish they had a couple more tables and chairs, that would be great. The second time I got here on a weekend, there was a very long queue, I didn't dare to stand.

The second cool place I found is with a great Durum Balik. The first is in the Eminonu marina area, but not on the marina itself, but across the street. There's often a queue here, because they really make it very tasty. If this is your first time trying this dish, I recommend that you stand in line. Of course, you shouldn't stand for an hour, but you can stand for 15 minutes. The fish is fresh, there are no bones, spices are moderately added. I recommend taking it with Ayran. Although it's better to eat here with a local ayran 😉 There are several tables nearby where you can eat, but everything is packed comfortably, the bag is on the bottom, so many people just eat outside, standing. I've seen a lot of young people - they really like it. Although at a price of 200 lire it is slightly more expensive than it can be found for 140, but believe me, I have visited several such places and it is for 200 that Durum Balik is the most delicious. 👍

First. Yandex incorrectly shows the location of this institution. By 50 meters. The smell will lead you to the place! Here, for 200 lire, you can get well-peeled and fried mackerel in pita bread or a bun. I recommend choosing in lavash. A young man who understands Russian well is standing at the acceptance of orders. And the address "bro" guarantees a special attitude towards you. We warn you right away! If you do not tolerate spicy food, first think about whether it is worth ordering this dish. Either wash it down with a Coke, or ask without pepper and sauce, as we did! The whole cooking process will be in front of you. You can take it with you, walk 200 meters and eat with a view of the Bosphorus on the Galataport embankment.

Fast, delicious, very local! The only drawback is that there are no places to sit, although a couple of tables and chairs have been set up in the next alley, you can sit there with a view of the temple. Authentic.

A great place to taste Balik Ekmek (mackerel in lavash) in Istanbul.🔥🐟 It looks modest, but it is a very popular point in the city, where there are always long queues. There are several tables outside where you can sit and eat quietly. It is inexpensive, the service is fast. The fish is really fresh and delicious cooked. I recommend it!👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We took balik duryum twice here, it was very tasty. But there is almost always a huge queue here, in which, in addition to tourists, there are also many locals, who sometimes also buy a package of durums at a time. On the first day, we left, deciding that we would come back another time. On the second day, the queue was no less, and we decided to stand. We stood there for an hour. After that, we were nearby twice more, once there was the same queue, on the fourth we were lucky - there were literally 2-3 people, but while we were waiting for them, a queue of 10-15 people managed to line up behind us. In short, it's delicious here, but it's not worth queuing for an hour. If you're lucky and there aren't many people, it's definitely worth a try, if there's a queue, it's better to eat somewhere else without such a wait.

Very tasty fish! Actually, we were already full, but this store smelled so good that it was difficult to pass by. We didn't even go through — we took it with us. In two hours, the lavash was not even very soaked, nothing leaked, everything turned out to be very tasty. You can wait for an order at a table, if you are ready, you are invited. If you take it there, and not with you, they will bring it to the table.

Well, that's not bad. Mackerel fillets are fried in front of you, you can look through the glass. Doner balyk is a fish version of shawarma, it takes about 5 minutes to make. Inside is a mackerel fillet, a simple salad, drizzled with hot butter sauce. The fillet is not overdried. It is eaten in 2 minutes;))

A very original mackerel in lavash, cooked in front of you. There's a decent queue, and you can drool until you get there. You can find cheaper things on the embankment, but it's atmospheric and they work late. I found it based on the recommendations of Yandex and fully subscribe to them!

I've tried this fish shawarma in different places - it's the most delicious thing I've eaten! It's not too greasy, the flatbread is also seasoned, it's not dry, there's a lot of pomegranate inside, which gives a sweet and sour taste. I highly recommend it

We came according to the reviews, at about 9 pm. There was no queue. And it's just gastronomic happiness! I didn't think fried mackerel was so great. No bones. Add vegetables seasoned with some kind of sauce or spices (not mayonnaise), and the lavash itself is spicy and toasted. This is umami ♥️ Even my husband, who doesn't really like fish, appreciated it.

It's a very popular place, but the dish itself is quite an amateur. Although I love fish, I haven't checked out the fish in the lavash. Maybe they're just not used to this kind of food. There are a lot of people, queues.

A very popular place . Yes, there is a big queue, the fish in the lavash is cooked with you) Yes, and it is interesting to taste, but unfortunately this product did not suit us, we felt bad after it. In the following days, I couldn't even pass by because of the smell and aroma of spices. Therefore , it doesn't seem bad , a popular dish, but as it turned out, it's not mine at all 😢

An interesting landmark place with the traditional balyk ikmek dish. The mackerel is the freshest, delicious even for those who don't like fish very much. At least everyone should try. You'll find it one at a time, don't worry, it's moving very fast. The location is crooked, navigate one by one))

A very tasty and unusual combination of mackerel, pomegranate and spices. The word didn't stink of burnt fish at all, like in many other establishments. I only got one bone. Strangely enough, we were at lunch with, but there were no people at all. Which was very surprising. And I am absolutely delighted with the quality of the dishes and their taste. (There were no health problems after 8 hours))

For an amateur, in any case, all the admirable reviews are a show-off. Mackerel and in Africa, mackerel and bones come across as luck would have it. I recommend trying it for a change, but that's not what you need to run there for. There are about three similar dots and differences nearby, I didn't notice.

There are no five points here: badly twisted, falling apart, soy sauce is poured out, heavily peppered, and this veils and suppresses the true taste of mackerel, small size. I am silent about the price of 200 lire, their money turns into kerenki.

I don't know who gives 5 stars here... there's a dirtier and scarier place to look in Istanbul. The price is 200 lire, and on the "expensive" embankment - 160-180. The advantages are that they didn't get poisoned. The rest are just cons. Starting with what you have to eat standing up and ending with the taste. The most mediocre shavukha with fish.

They cook great, but that's the only plus. There is always a huge queue, a very noisy road nearby and there is almost no space on the sidewalk, a nearby stall - car wash, and a very strong smell of sewage from the alley. There is absolutely nowhere to sit next to, there are no squares or parks nearby - you will have to eat standing on the move. Yes, it's delicious, but you can find much more pleasant places where the durum will not be inferior to this.
