We LOVED dining at this popular spot. It reminded us of eating out in New York City, one of our…read morefavorite cities. This Turkish dumpling spot is in a busy part of town in a corner building. If you can, sit outside along the sidewalk. To feed three men, we got the potato salad, bulghur salad, and the dumpling tasting plat, which came with dozens of tiny dumplings smothered in yogurt sauce. If you need more spice or flavor, use the shakers on each table. Everything was great, but we loved the wet dumplings v. fried more. The bulghur salad was so good! Service is attentive and they take card. Note that there is not restroom here.

This restaurant is a true hidden gem in Istanbul. It is very-very good. Not only does it provide…read moreyou with the true Istanbul dining experience, but the food is great. This restaurant is located just off the street in the old section of Istanbul. My personal favorite is to dine at one of their outdoor tables, which is situated right along the street. You can truly take in the atmosphere of the city from this position. They also have a very nice interior dining experience. If you choose to sit inside, the doors are generally open, so you still get all of the air and and the ambience while remaining someone protect from the elements. Their food, as their name implies, focuses on pizza and pasta dishes. The pizzas are very good. I truly recommend them. There's several options to choose from and I'm sure you'll be able to find something that answers your specific desires. They also have the expected, soft drinks, beer, wine, plus they offer a truly nice selection of cocktails. My wife always goes for one of those more fruity drinks, and she truly enjoys their Mojito. Overall, great dining experience. It's casual, it's fun, and the food taste very good Recommended!
