Omg I want to love it here because I appreciate the Tex-Mex country western American dive bar thing…read morethey're trying to pull off, and their menu is fantastic. I mean, this has got to be one of the most diverse menus in the city. They also have a good beer selection, not much on tap but quite a few different brews (for a Turkish bar).
HOWEVER, the complaints I have may outnumber the compliments. For one, their service is absolutely abysmal. I speak fairly good Turkish but no matter what I do I cannot seem to communicate with these guys. I'll ask for stuff and they will look at me completely confused and then come back on 40 minutes later to ask me again what I want. A couple of weeks ago, I ordered two Efes Limons. They came back with just one, explaining that just one was left. Believable, because Efes ceased the production of Efes Limon. So I said, okay, we'll order one Efes Dark also. Then he started to walk away. No, I said. Please leave the Efes Limon. He pointed at it and gave me an inquisitive look. I nodded. He walked away.
Minutes later, he came back with two Efes Dark. I MEAN WHAT? WHAT THE F. SERIOUSLY. So that's all I have to say about that.
Their food is a bit pricey, but the quesadillas, cheeseburgers, and beer plates are great. Avoid the milkshakes. It's not what you think.
In summary, I will continue to come to this place, mostly because they make me laugh.
Note: Benzin has a bunch of branches. They were not all created equal.
