Garden 1897 Restaurant

Beş Bıçak is a venue that it make query its name before visiting the venue. It reminds the cote of…read morearms of old times and asking yourself " Do they use five different knives when they prepare the meats? ". None of them is the right answer. Beş Bıçak Steakhosue is a meart heaven founded by 5 tough young men. The venue is located very far from us and center of Istanbul. When we asked the reason of this they told us there are not any venue in this region with a right taste and quality and that region needs a qualified venue. They have preferred to become the biggest in a small area instead of becoming a small option in a big region. The venue has been designed exactly as steakhouse concept. The inside area was very chic. They have a wooden bull head work with tide effect on the ceiling which we have not seen like that before. Dry aged meats were demonstrating in a nice fridge. Grill section was in a visible area but they do not bother you in sitting area. You can easily watch the how they cook the meats. We tried a lot of kinds as small portions on the evening of we went. Starters and warm starters; Zahter salad: It was a salad kind that we have never met in any steakhouse before. Its taste was balanced nicely. It was successful and very matching with the meats. We completly finished the salad plates. Smoked beef with cheddar sauce: They are preparing in a hot pot in front of you. Thanks to the taste of cheddar cheese we cleaned up our plates. They should decrease only the level of salt. B&B sausage with halloumi: The sausage prepared by themselves was delicious. Grilled oyster mushroom: It is a common taste for many steakhouses. They cooked it in a juicy and tasty way in here. It was the best one among the we have eaten before. As main course; Lokum: It was very soft like its name. We finished it in a short time. B&B Beef Special: They were the meats like döner cooked very shortly in the grill. Thin cut meat lovers will definetly love it. Dry aged entrecote: It was the most successful meat kind among serving ones. Its consistency and fattiness was superb. It should become the first choice. B&B Lamb Special: Grilled back meat of lamb are slicing and braising with fat in hot casserole. We loved the presentation and the taste as lamb lovers. Lamb Shoulder Tandoori: #tandooriislife. Its taste and consistency were perfect. We totally cleaned up it. You must watch the moment of extracting the bones from meat. B&B Burger: Its fattiness, taste of the meat, made from minced meat without sinewy, its breas and its sides. It was a wonderful burger with its everything. We ate local pistachio flaky pastry with icecream as dessert. Its taste was successful but it should be harder. It was softened a bit because of icecream. If they serve the icecream in a seperate cup it would be better. Service was successful, prices were affordable, ambiance was nice and also taste was good. If its location is appropriate for you there is no reason not to visit here. Do not miss their signature products starting with B&B.

The lounge is located on the top floor with a folding roof which is a smoking zone (hookah)z They also have a non smoking section on the inside.

Luckily, all the usuals could be found with the exception of my fave, the ribeye. We ordered the porterhouse, filet mignon with sauce and lamb chops. To accompany, we ordered green salad and a.nice bottle of cabernet sauvignon. Salad was flavorful with pomegranate and corn and light oil dressing. Shortly before the salad we were bought shot glasses of what I believe was a peppery beef broth that whet our appetites! After salad we enjoyed a complimentary beef appetizer. We didn't know what ot was, but it was delicious! The porterhouse was served "Turkish style" which means it was pre-cut and served with plenty of au jus. I enjoyed the seasoning but would.prefer to cuty.own steak. The filet was served with garlic fries and a curry flavored sauce. The fries were awesome, but none too impressed with the filet, which was also precut, although the sauce was flavorful. The lamb chops were fantastic. For dessert, we order a candied zucchini dish and didn't know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised. We also received a complimentary chocolate mousse that was really good.

jjjIn this study, benzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′]bisthiazole (BBTz) is incorporated into the PM6 main chain to create a series of terpolymer donors, leveraging the entropy increase and superior miscibility with polymer acceptors to modulate blend morphology. The introduction of BBTz broadened the absorption range, enhanced film crystallinity, and significantly improved donor-acceptor miscibility through its low dipole moment and high electrostatic potential. This facilitated the formation of nanofiber structures in the active layer, thus optimizing blend morphology. As a result, the PBZ-10:PY-IT-based device achieved an impressive power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.06%. Incorporation of PBQx-TF into the binary blend can further improve morphology, charge transport, exciton lifetime, charge dissociation, and collection, as well as suppressed charge recombination, finally leading to a record-breaking PCE of 20.04% for all-PSCs to date. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the terpolymer strategy in enhancing all-PSC performance. read more

I just had the best time at Garden 1897, all thanks to Hafiz, our awesome waiter! Seriously, from the moment we sat down, he was on it. Hafiz knew the menu inside out and made some killer recommendations. He was like our food guardian angel, always there when we needed him, but never hovering. Plus, he had this infectious energy that just made the whole dining experience feel extra special. What blew me away was how Hafiz went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Like, he must have psychic powers because he always seemed to know what we needed before we even asked. So, if you're heading to Garden 1897, definitely ask for Hafiz. He'll take your dining experience from great to unforgettable in no time! read more

I love it!…read more This is where I was first introduced to adjika, a tasty pepper sauce that is served with their table bread, which is also delicious. I had to grab some at a local market. I highly recommend the chicken kabobs, juicy and well seasoned. Also enjoyed the margaritas, stiff and not overly sweet. Staff is pleasant and attentive. The views are unmatched in the evening. Make your reservation in advance to secure your sunset table. The inside is nice and classy but I simply adore the open air views from the roof. The birds really set off the skyline and you can see several of the mosques around. Not SUPER expensive but it is in the higher end price wise compared to their surrounding competition -- 100% worth it in my book. I will definitely go again on my next visit. Glad I could introduce it to a friend this go round. The only thing I disliked about this place is the "dining dome" as I called it. A portion of the roof now offers seating in a large plastic dome. The dome is scratched up and obstructs the view of the city but does protect diners from the wind. I was not a fan of this dome. I'm sure it's something someone saw on the internet and implemented .. I hope they get rid of it, it's super unnecessary. Otherwise -- LOVE!

I spent considerable time researching the ONE restaurant our group of two families (4 adults, 3 kids aged 13-15) would visit during our overnight stop while on the Norwegian Viva cruise ship. I kept coming back to Gulhane Sark Sofrasi while researching and decided this was our spot. After all, it has 5,246 Tripadvisor reviews and is ranked the #5 restaurant in Istanbul. The food, service and outdoor ambience were all fantastic. Oh, the house cat was fantastic, too, and sure was protective of its turf, scaring away any other cats who dared try snagging any dropped food. My gals ordered what I felt were plain (less exotic?) chicken dishes but they really enjoyed them. My daughter chose the Sultan's Favorite. My best buddy's daughter ordered a steak which looked fantastic. His wife ordered an eggplant dish and some protein according to her strict diet (for health reasons) as well as shrimp and grilled veggies. Us boys shared the mixed appetizer plate with delicious dips and dolmas as well as, the recommended "Adana the Classsic" kebab ($16) and some kind of cheesey meaty casserole/stew (either the Dana Guvec or the Kuzu Guvec) ~$23 that was also recommended to us. The kebab was absolutely fantastic although I didn't love the casserole/stew which seemed to me to have less flavor. The dips were awesome, especially the Turkish "salsa". I felt $30 for their House Wine & $16 for a Margarita were a little steep but maybe those are common price points for Istanbul. The entrees too were a little pricier than in mainland Greece but again, Istanbul definitely seemed more advanced and modern. I highly recommend Gulhane Sark Sofrasi and would definitely go back!
