Horrible service
Staf very unfriendly and bad manners.
Service is exceptionally bad.
We were only Two people on the table, they brought my wifes meal firs and i was waiting for 15 minutes to get my meal after i asked three times. The waiter behaved like that’s is a normal thing to hapen. They were in such of a rush to take our plates, i was still eating and the waiter reached for my plate. It took me three times to tell him to leave my plate alone as i have not finish my food yet.
They never apologised for anything
They canot say a simple sorry when they make mistakes. And forcefully asking for service charge, which is not compulsory as we already pay for the meal.
I always pay the service charge when is a semi decent service but to be forced to pay thats a bit to much.
Please do yourself a favour just dont go to this restaurant is not worthy, there is pleanty of other better places, this restaurant is run by crooks.
I would have scored zero star but is not posible.

Of the many options where to have breakfast, we chose this cafe based on the reviews. On the plus side, a beautiful location with a view of Galata, not a bad choice of food, quite tasty, the price tag + is the same for this area.
On the downside, they cheated with the check, added 2 fresh oranges + 380 lira to the check. Russians Russian-speaking waiter came up to us, and when I called the staff to point out the mistake, he was just sitting us down at a table when we arrived, and he immediately realized that we were Russians and spoke Russian to us. I explained the situation to him, he apologized and left. They didn't accuse anyone, well, they made a mistake, but when I saw that Azamat (a Russian-speaking waiter) approached the Turk serving our table and apparently pointed out the "mistake" in the receipt, he was very upset, very angry, it was obvious that he had not accidentally put the juice in the receipt. Angry as hell brought us a new receipt, squeezing out a “sorry”)
There's a little bit of sediment left, I'm lowering my rating just because of this incident. Thanks to Azamat for helping with the situation, thanks to such people, the desire to return to such institutions does not disappear.

We were at the restaurant on March 8, 2025, the atmosphere is amazing, the price is great for such a location (view of the Galata Tower), polite staff and very tasty food. I recommend pasta with salmon and a cocktail with frozen peach puree.

I really liked it. Atmospheric, clean, friendly staff. We were served by the waiter Serkan, special thanks to him for his sensitivity and attentiveness. It was my birthday and Serkan organized the congratulations. Thank you 🙏🏻😊

On the downside, it's very expensive. I took an inexpensive salad and spaghetti with champignons, my husband took the same salad and schnitzel. We paid 1,600 lire, which is 6,000 rubles at the current exchange rate! For two courses with salads, it is undoubtedly expensive. One of the advantages: an old cafe (60 years old), huge portions! In fact, if they had known that, they would have made do with one dish. 2 huge schnitzels with salad can be safely eaten for two! Or a salad with a local flatbread, they are also huge here. In general, I recommend going in, but first order something just to have a snack. By the way, they bring it right there. They just hop and bring it, as if the waiters were holding dishes for us behind our backs. :) Although it's evening and there are a lot of people. It is very cool! And delicious. The app is free and without a code, because the menu is based on a QR code, there is no paper one. But you open it immediately in Russian and everything is clear. Everyone is sitting outside, even though it's January (+8), powerful heaters are running on the veranda, and I even had to take off my jacket. I liked the cafe, that's for sure. The only thing that bothers me is the prices. But I would come back for tea with dessert or flatbread.

We were at this restaurant in the 22nd and this year.
We chose it as one of the best places for a dense late lunch and a calm atmosphere, despite the fact that it is located near one of the busiest tourist spots in Istanbul, the Galata Tower.
The portions were still quite large. Although everything has gone up in price in Turkey, but for three people for 4 rubles you can eat beautifully and deliciously. The staff speaks a little Russian, they work quickly and everyone is very friendly. Payment is made using a Gazprombank card.
In general, I recommend connecting 2in1. To see and eat.

One of the most delicious restaurants in Istanbul! Large portions cover the cost, everything is very tasty, San Sebastian is worth some praise! We have returned several times, I will recommend it!

Delicious. The portions are large.
We stopped to eat after visiting Galata Tower. There were a lot of people, but they found us a table. The menu is electronic, you need to scan the code and go to the website. It may be a problem if there is no internet connection. I didn't check if the restaurant has Wi-Fi.

Nice restaurant with a view of Galata Tower. I strongly recommend the baked eggplant for an appetizer, the chicken kebab was super soft, and for dessert, the incredibly delicate dessert of kunef.

It's just a cabin dump! I've never eaten such delicious meat. Kebab, shish kebab, fillet - delight. Salads are just a whole bowl of greens and vegetables! It's incredibly delicious! They had to come back! And this is despite the fact that there are many beautiful places in Istanbul!

For three years, I visited this place every time I visited Istanbul. This time was the last one. The service is disgusting. The waiter pointedly pretended not to see (he served the Turks quickly), he forgot to bring part of the order. I had to remind him of the bill 2 times, and again, for the last time, I had to get up and approach His Majesty the waiter Effendi. Another waiter did not have time to stand on me, the rice swept away the winter table. The food is average, salads and kebabs are not bad, don't even think about taking spaghetti here, mussels also don't know how to cook. Good luck gentlemen

I'm not stepping into this restaurant after the last incident that happened to me, but my tourist guests stopped at the door to look at the menu when I was passing by it last night, but the menu was in Turkish. I asked the waiter there if there was an English menu just because my guests were curious. the answer was that they needed to read the barcode from the phone. does every tourist have an active mobile phone with him so that he can take out and read your menu. well, I'm not leaving, it's still a terrible business. I am adding it again below for the purpose of remembering the incident that happened to me earlier.
We've been going to a Southern restaurant for years. We ordered chicken schnitzel yesterday. I took a piece of glass out of my mouth at the first bite. We told the waiter, they changed my plate, I ordered another meal. My mouth could have been cut, my tooth could have been broken, I could have swallowed, they just apologized. Despite all these risks, they were not ashamed to take the entire check

Beautiful interior, on the shore of the Bosphorus, very polite waiters, the menu is available online, there are no prices anywhere, the waiter looks at you, assesses your ability to pay and determines the price of the dish, $ 170 mutton per 1 kg of frozen fish, did not want this divorce, got up and just left

I was in this restaurant in November 2022, objectively it was better, the last time was in September 2024, the atmosphere of the place deteriorated significantly, cocktails were tastier before, now they are diluted with water as if, especially those that come with ice, everything remains at the same level of food - delicious! See for yourself the prices, this restaurant is not from the budget now, you can eat in a more specific restaurant for the same amount!

If you are in the Galata Tower area and want to eat somewhere, this is one of the places where you can go both during the day and in the evening. It is located right at the foot of the tower, there are places both in a small room and on the street. It looks like a decent place with more or less normal prices, there is a service + 10% to the bill. There are Russian-speaking waiters, the food is delicious, although a little greasy (this is the case in most establishments here). If you compare it with other cafes on Istiklal, it is one of the decent ones where I would return.
After the visit, I had positive impressions.

Just a great pesto. Super menu, lots of choices. There was a full boarding and the waiters were running, and nevertheless the serving of 4 dishes and drinks took less than 10 minutes. Super view of the tower. Thanks to the chef for the compliment in the form of pate and water, while there was a wait. We were satisfied with visiting this place

A great restaurant with a wonderful view of the Galata tower. Beef is incredibly tasty. The price tag is nice, considering that this is a super tourist place and the traffic there is huge. No more expensive than in other restaurants.
They were served very quickly. Despite the fact that there was a full landing, the drinks were brought in 2 minutes and literally 5 minutes after the course. I definitely recommend it.

The service is prompt, the prices are slightly overpriced, but in general it is clear why. The same dishes in other places were no less delicious. The cocktails were not impressed. The location is developed, there are always a lot of people. In fact, for the same money, you can eat in other different places, but it's worth visiting at least once.
