Really delicious Indian food near Taksim Square…read more Started with the vegetarian Samosas. Came out piping hot and crispy. So delicious served with four sweet and savory dipping sauces. Main vegetarian entrees included palak paneer (spinach with Indian paneer cheese) and chana masala (a chickpea dish). The lamb in the lamb palak was so tender and perfectly cooked in spinach. Nice to mix with the yogurt dipping sauces. The sesame naan and biryani were perfect to soak up the delicious palak entrees. Service was so attentive and a great value at 180 Turkish lira (about $30) for dinner.

During our walk through Taksim Square we were so happy to find this Indian Restaurant. It was about…read more11 AM and decided to give it a try since Indian food is one of our favorite in Oakland. The man came and answered our questions regarding vegan options. He was Indian but spoke Turkish. We sat down and got the menu. Waited about 15 minutes and nobody was coming. So I asked the woman if anyone was coming to take out order, she said she thought he has taken our order. We ordered vegan dishes, and biryani vegetable rice. Let's just say, I barley ate. Our eggplant dish, didn't taste right. However, the lady and I didn't finish our food. By evening, my lady stomach was hurting, it normally happens, when animal products contaminated the food. It happens when you been a Vegan for 6 years and being vegan chose her. We explains the importance of this to the chef. We kind of knew with the ongoing miscommunication, something wasn't going to be right. I myself, love Indian food and can eat anything. I must say, the flavors wasn't it. Just salty and greasy.

We came here as a part of a group tour of about 30 people and separately as a single family. Both times, the speed of service was disappointing. The food itself is pretty good. We had several vegetarian and non-vegetarian curries, naan, rice, samosas, aloo Chaat and chai. Even the Turkish coffee was pretty decent. The price is reasonable I think. We would just like faster service. Definitely check out the view from the fourth floor if you're not able to get seated there.

Great food, warm welcome and service, entertaining atmosphere!…read more There is an overwhelming amount of restaurants to choose from in the old city. However, we came here twice because we enjoyed it so much. The staff are super welcoming and put on a great show. We also loved the hot lemon tea, the resident cats, and the vegetarian options. Sitting out on the patio was so lovely as well (they have little blankets if it gets chilly)!

I really like Turkish cuisine. But after two weeks on business in Istanbul, I was just a little…read moretired of the Turkish flavor palate. So when I spotted this Indian Restaurant near the Ciragan Palace area, it was too good an opportunity to pass up. On the plus side, it was, indeed, a break from Turkish food. The staff was friendly and spoke enough English to get along. The food was prepared fresh. It came hot (temperature.) On the less-positive side, as others have noted, it is definitely not The Real Thing. This is a Turkish neighborhood and less touristy. So I would call it Indian/Turkish food. The dishes were pretty bland. Now, in fairness, the waitress did ask me how spicy I wanted it and I indicated medium. But on the Turkish scale medium is pretty low-end on the American scale. Notwithstanding, the lamb dish was tasty and the mulligatawny soup was a winner. The only serious disappointment was the Garlic Nan, which was baked hard and pretty tasteless. So, I am glad I gave it a shot. It was a welcome break. I would recommend it for someone in the same state of mind (stomach) as I was. But I won't be going back very soon.

Our first food here in Turkey. Welcoming staff. Sweet waiter that took our order very promptly…read more Restaurant appears small from the outside, but actually has a second floor with more seating. Very clean bathrooms were a bonus downstairs also. Food was served quickly with an excellent portion size. I ordered the beef wrap and fries with a Pepsi. It was supposed to have been a small lunch, but was actually very filling. I will say the meat could've used a sauce. Something to cut all the grease that it was covered in. I did try someone else's chicken and it was even more in need of a flavorful sauce. That being said, it is served with ketchup and mayonnaise, which is familiar to us, but not the sauce I had in mind. Overall though, great first stop.

We have been in Turkey for about a year and we were excited to try Indian food for the first time…read morein Turkey. Misled by the previous reviewers and their high points, we decided to try Little India, which is closer to our home. It was not a good choice. We had chicken tikka masala and it is the worst tikka masala I have ever had so far. It had too much tomato sauce and was missing certain spices. They did not have feeding chair and did not accept credit card payments. They made us walk all the way to another shop of the owner a few blocks away to make the payment. The interior design of the restaurant is very cheap. I felt uncomfortable about its cleanliness. The food was way overpriced. We paid more than the double it deserved for its service and food. Only good thing that makes me give one star is the staff. Would not recommend this place until they make significant improvements.
