For me, this place was terrible! Yes, we knew there were cats, but they lie on the tables and sleep. They are not clean, indoor-only cats—they are let outside and then come back and sit on the tables! They can drink water from your glass, and while they will replace it, it’s disgusting. Cat will only be removed if it’s awake; if it’s sleeping, they won’t touch it.
The menu is small, but there are some options. My friends and I ordered Turkish meat ravioli—4 portions. Waitress said they would take 20 minutes to prepare, but in the end, it took 45 minutes, which is unacceptable, especially since the café was almost empty. The ravioli were overcooked, the dough was too soft, the meat was tasteless, and everything was drowned in a huge amount of cold yogurt and tomato sauce. It was not good, and we couldn’t finish all four portions. The staff didn’t offer anything—not a discount, not even a small gesture from the café. Customer service was nonexistent.
At best, this café is worth stopping by for a cup of coffee and a photo of the old-fashioned interior. Some reviews said it feels like visiting a grandmother’s or aunt’s house, but if that’s the case, then it’s a house where the grandmother can’t cook and wasn’t really expecting you😂

Nice cafe.
The prices are reasonable, the service is fast. We ordered lemonade and cheesecake, we liked everything.
The atmosphere and interior are wonderful. The cafe is decorated in a vintage style, and the entrance to the toilet is disguised as the door of an old refrigerator - very colorful.
The special feature of this cafe is the free access of local cats to the establishment. They can unceremoniously jump on your table and evaluate the quality of your dishes. But this is the peculiarity of the whole of Istanbul.
