This is our third time in Istanbul and we loved this place so much that we came back for 5 meals out of our 8 days here. It reminds me of my families home cooking when I was a kid.

Who would have thought I would come all the way to Turkey to have Persian cuisine? They gave a bonus piece of tachine tahdig. This style seems to be southern Iranian cuisine. Their tea was excellent as well. Very highly recommended!

I have had kabob kubideh from hundreds of places over many years and this was definitely one of the best. Oh and the Tahdigh was truly authentic and the best I have ever had! Definitely go here.

When I arrived there was only one other customer inside. The restaurant decor was cute and I very comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming. This spot was a bit pricey just like most of the restaurants in this touristy area. I had certain Turkish entrees i wanted to try during my vacation. I ordered the Iskender kebab which is beef and pita bread covered with tomato sauce with yogurt on the side. I ordered a side salad to go with it. The dish was very delicious as you can tell in one of my pics. I chatted with some of the staff about life in Istanbul. I was offered some complimentary pomegranate tea before I left and it hit the spot. This is definitely a place to check out when you're in the area.

I had some of THEE BEST chicken kebab I've ever had in this country here. The beef kebab was also tender and flavorful. You cannot go wrong with any of these! The service was quick and prompt, and the servers were great at making recommendations. I came here in the winter so we sat indoors which felt a bit cramped however, there is also outdoor seating during the nicer weather months. If I'm ever back here in Istanbul, I would definitely come back. And if you're reading this, you NEED to try the Old Ottoman!

I was in Yemen for several months, and have to say this food is 100% authentic. Fantastic bread and rice. The meat stew was very flavorful. My wife and Mom had the grilled fish, and loved it. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.
