If you're in the Karakoy neighborhood, this is definitely the place to eat. The burgers and apps are good. Good selection and quality meat for the burgers. Very soft buns.
But if you visit Chick only once, get the Istanbul Steak! Without exaggeration, it is the best thing I've had during my extended stay in Istanbul. It's right about a 10 oz cut of tenderloin or sirloin (if I had to guess). It was cooked to a perfect medium rare. Best of all was the presentation. The chef brought the steak, a searing hot iron skillet, melted butter, and seasonings. And then proceeded to finish the steak in the butter, salt, and a hint of rosemary at the table. It only took about a minute, but it was a really fun presentation.
To top it all off, the Istanbul Steak was a great value, in my opinion: 105 TRY at the time of this review. read more
