As soon as you step into the place for the first time, you already feel the difference. The atmosphere, the decoration and the Ottoman concept are really very successful; one feels as if one is in history and not in an ordinary restaurant. The lighting, table layout and attention to detail are very pleasant. Especially for those who like to take photos, every corner is beautiful separately. As for the food, he definitely passes the class in terms of taste. Everything we ordered was fresh, warm and carefully prepared. The meat is in full consistency, the appetizers are very tasty and the portions are also very satisfying. It appeals to both the eye and the stomach and Jul Presentations are also very stylish and clean.

As someone who loves seafood, I was really pleased. The fish was fresh, the appetizers were delicious and the presentation was quite attentive. The employees were interested and friendly, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. It was above my expectations in terms of price–performance. A place I would like to come again, I would definitely recommend it.

Excellent restaurant with national cuisine. Hearty breakfasts, a good selection of dishes, a menu in three languages. Traditional Turkish interior. There are several separate halls on the ground floors of the buildings and a common large "veranda" on the street. There are dishes on the fire, coffee on the sand, hookah. The portions are large. Attentive staff. We will be happy to visit more.

It is a hospitable and colorful place in Turkish, polite and attentive staff. A large selection of meat and fish, we took a kebab mix — delicious and enough for two. Prices are average in the area. I recommend it!

Colorful life boils here in the evening. The cuisine is varied, delicious, and tourist-oriented. Very tasty coffee on the sand. But the most interesting thing is to enjoy dinner with live music. The taste of Turkey is felt in the restaurant

The food is like everywhere else, but more expensive, as in other types of entourage restaurants. And of course, do not believe when they tell you about free tea and discounts, there is nothing even close to that, tea is 50 lire in the bill. They also added an extra dish to the bill, they were very surprised that we noticed, and they didn't bring the change, although we had been packing for quite a long time. Keep this in mind when paying.

In Kumkapi, the permits are a must-stop restaurant for everyone who wants to eat fish incredibly fresh cooking really makes a difference in the exact concept and delicious appetizers are both very diverse and all daily and carefully prepared shrimp kalama and fish varieties separately you get the taste of the sea, not the wonderful smell of the sea, and the friendly atmosphere reflects the spirit of the sand door, definitely an address we will come back to

It's delicious, but the price is slightly higher than in a regular restaurant, live music sometimes gets in the way because it's under your ear, and it's a very pleasant reassurance.

Atmospheric cafe on the street. It's even quite comfortable in the rain. There is also heating. Russian-speaking waiters are always on hand and will tell you about the dishes. I liked everything. The seals will keep you company.

It was very expensive, completely tasteless, they didn't let them sit in the restaurant hall, as if it was cold there, they put four of them and their children in a smoky hall opposite with old leaky tablecloths. The waiter came up from the third hail, although there were only us in the hall. The portions are small and tasteless. All in all, it was the most expensive and disgusting dinner in 10 days in Istanbul. Once was enough, I don't recommend it.
