We were shopped-out and it was hot. We saw the stocked bar in the restaurant from the street and decided to go in for drinks. The service was outstanding and the house wine was also wonderful. The kids had sodas and we also had some sparkling water. They have good wifi there and it was a slow mid-day, so it was pretty fast. Nice to a cloud picture sync. The restrooms were also clean. The food menu looked great as well even though we didn't get anything.

Gorgeous views, decent food, priced for location…read more Our family dined at Seven Hills Restaurant on our first evening in Istanbul. The restaurant offers gorgeous views of the Blue Mosque, the Istanbul skyline, the Golden Horn, the Bosphorus, and the Sea of Marmara, especially from its rooftop terrace. The food was pretty good, though nothing extraordinary, with most dishes lacking much flavor, except for the mezes. The service was prompt and polite. Prices were steep, clearly reflecting the prime location and awesome views. Overall, we can recommend Seven Hills Restaurant if you don't mind paying extra to enjoy the iconic Istanbul views and perhaps feed the seagulls on the terrace. Dishes ordered Mixed Appetizer plate - excellent Fish Soup - very good with generous chunks of fish Adana Kebab Seabass Salad Grilled Chicken Bonfile Penne Kilic Shish

Glass balconies....just spectacular. The servers will help you get the best photograph, too. I just had dessert here today and it was incredible. Also the fresh juices are wonderful. Super fresh fish dishes and many other options if you want a full meal. Of course it's more expensive than eating somewhere on the street but you're paying for the spectacular view and the service is exceptional. Get there before sunset. Have been in Istanbul for over a month and have taken photographs all over the place but for some reason (the location, height and the glass balcony) this is just a spectacular spot and the photos all look like they're out of a magazine. If it's too crowded on the very top level, just go down one level and there are more glass balconies there for great views and shots.

The ambiance here is beautiful - hidden in a small alley on a road beside the Galata Tower, there are lights and music that fill up the narrow path here. Outside seating is super quaint, and the inside of the restaurant is nice too, decorated in a very traditional way. We started off with a shepherds salad because I was in desperate need of fibre after two days of straight protein and carbs . It was a simple Mediterranean style salad, with tomato, onions, cucumbers, and parsley. We then shared a chicken shish and, heavily influenced by the meal we had at Antiochia the day prior, a kebab durum. The durum was good - crispy and meaty - but I think we had the best at Antiochia. It lacked a bit of juice. The chicken shish was delicious though; it was tender, moist, and flavourful. The real star, however, was the kunefe. This dessert was by far the best of its kind we've had in Istanbul! It wasn't too sweet, the inside was creamy (and more mild than some other variations we tried), but it was the clotted cream on top and the pistachio crumble that elevated this to another level. The cream made the dish super buttery and fragrant, adding complexity. Would definitely come again just for the kunefe!

A must-try for tourists!…read more The food is absolutely delicious, with a menu offering traditional Turkish dishes. The ambiance is modern yet maintains a relaxed, upscale vibe, making it perfect for both casual outings and special occasions. They are famous for their mezes, and I highly recommend the levrek marin and fava. For mains, the hunkar begendi is amazing! The service is fast, friendly, and attentive, adding to the overall great experience. It's a classic if you're in Istanbul. Also, it's in of the best area to hang, tons to see around. Highly recommended!

We ordered the grilled artichokes, pickles, potato croquettes, and beef tenderloin. The artichokes were my favourite - so delicious! Everything else was alright. It was all cooked well and seemed fresh but I found the price to be a bit expensive for what it was. I've had better meals for much cheaper in Istanbul. One thing I didn't like was a 50 lira charge per person for cover? And our water was not free. On top of that, a 10% service charge. Not really happy about being charged cover and a service charge but it is what it is. Service was good and our food came very quickly.
