Love this place. The people are so nice and helpful, and they have so many awesome towels,…read moreblankets, robes, etc to choose from at really reasonable prices. I knew I wanted Turkish towels, so I shopped here based on the reviews, and I'm so glad I did. I walked out with a LOT more than towels, and I didn't break the bank. Also, sometimes it's the little things. They wrap everyone up nicely with an evil eye, so it's so ready to give as a gift.

I liked this store a lot until today. I am an American and I have an American visa card and I have…read morebought groceries at the store twice before and today they asked for my passport to prove that I owned the Visa card. The Visa transaction went through with no problems just as it did yesterday. Yesterday I charged 900 lira and today's bill came to 635 lira as I'm stocking the kitchen in my new apartment. But today they asked for my passport for the first time and I didn't have it. I don't normally carried around in Turkey because it's not usually ask for unless you are doing something like registering a phone and signing a contract. I explained to them that I hadn't needed it in the past and that I would bring it next time but they wouldn't budge. So after much haggling, they pulled me out of line and suggested I go get the amount of money at the nearby ATM, which I did. The shopping cart was under their jurisdiction the whole time and I came back and even though they had already charged me and then uncharged me, they insisted that I go through the line and check out all the groceries once again. I didn't make a scene, but I just decided to leave without the groceries. I might go back to this place, but I was planning on this being my main grocery store and now I'm going to definitely check out the competition before coming back to shop at this store.

This is a Fan of Besiktas's gift store…read more They are selling standard jerseys and t-shirts, shirts, balls, shorts and more made for Besiktas Fans. When I visited them on 11/10/2016 first thing they suggest me was Founding Father Mustafa Kemal's Shirts. I hate being told what is the best sellers in a shop and especially when I was directed to buy ideological Figure's T-shirts. I got 2 shirts for me 1 for my son and 1 for my nephew. Verity of the products were good but I hated what they told me about T-shirts "This one is our favorite one" and I said "if this is the best seller than I am not getting that one". I don't think they got what said but thats ok. a I got What I like but I will go to Besiktas Branch.

While walking around I felt like buying a good number of things on the way walls for my friends little child. They even had few toys for adults in a few places. This store is not huge like one the other toy store across from it but this one does have a nice selection to choose from. The employees were really friendly also. I got lucky to find one that understood a little english but even the ones that didn't made a big effort to try and understand and help me in anyway. I recommend you buy your little one the science kit from here by the way!
