My husband and I tried this place after having a nightmare of an experience at "360 Istanbul". We…read morewere shocked at how AMAZING the service was here. All 3 waiters that catered to us were amazing. Specially Gokcen The drinks we ordered from their non-alcoholic menu (Blue Colada) were amazing. The starts and main courses were also amazing. I personally ordered the Cajun Steak which was a 8/10 for me. Overall the view/food/service is amazing. Definitely try this place out if you're visiting Istanbul.

Fun spot to unwind after a long afternoon at the Grand Bazaar!…read more It's totally hidden - I love that you walk through a small cemetery to get here. The Wi-Fi is very spotty. Go to the server's stand near the front for best coverage. It was plenty crowded around 6 pm on a Saturday, but there's high turnover and there were a couple seat options for two when we got in. The staff is always walking around so it's easy to get coals for your hookah. Our tea took a while and we had to remind the staff we'd ordered it. The mint hookah's nice and cooling, but it reminds you a little of just having brushed your teeth. The washroom is separate and a little outside, costs 1 TL to use it. It was 22 TL before tip for a mint hookah and 3 teas. You can also shop for lights and hookahs, similar to what's in the bazaar.

There are old paintings on the walls and arabic lamps hanging from the ceiling. We went there in the evening, but even though we were the only tourists in the place full of locals, and the only surrounded by men, we felt welcome and comfortable. The Shisha was good and very strong, at a good price. There was someone to change the guests' coal from time to time without having to ask, as well as bringing fresh tea. It was a very nice experience for us being here and it felt like an authentic Istanbul night.

This place is fucking amazing.

We had just finished circling around the grand bazaar about 1500 times and this place was a mere 5-10 min walk. The decor is really funky and unique. There's an indoor portion and an outdoor portion, mostly situated in a balcony-like structure. There are very colorful cushions and equally colorful tables to match the surrounding adornment. Service was amazing. We were seated immediately and started on drinks and hookah in no time. Our server came and checked on us frequently but not frequently enough to make it annoying. This place was perfect for insta snaps and we took quite a few of them. Thankfully, our garb was unintentionally flamboyant and we fit right in. The drinks were good, both from the eclectic cocktail menu as well as the classics like screw drivers. We dipped our toe into quite a few different drink categories that night because the service was good and the hookah was kept fresh. We stayed there long enough to become hungry and ordered the meze sampler. I don't remember details besides this being very good. By the end of our evening our crisp and fresh insta photos became rachit and grungy snap stories by the end of the night. The hospitality was overt, they didn't mind us literally taking up residence basically for about 6 hours and offered us blankets once the weather became chilly and rainy. Long story short this place is a must visit on a trip to istanbul

We visited Huqqa Café on the Bosphorus expecting an upscale experience to match the beautiful…read morewaterfront location. Unfortunately, the service did not live up to the setting or the pricing. The prices were extremely high, which we were prepared for given the venue, but premium pricing should come with premium hospitality. The staff took orders without much engagement, rarely making eye contact, and overall seemed inattentive. A welcoming attitude goes a long way in places that position themselves as luxury destinations, and that element felt missing. To add to the disappointment, valet parking was charged separately at the end of the visit. At many high-end venues, valet service is typically included as part of the experience. Paying extra would be understandable if the service reflected professionalism, but it did not. The Bosphorus view is undeniably beautiful, but great locations alone don't create memorable experiences, service does. Sadly, we left feeling that the hospitality did not justify the premium cost. We hope management takes guest feedback seriously, because this venue has the potential to be exceptional.
