It was 5pm week day and there was no one in the restaurant. I picked a table outside in the mall so I can do people watch while waiting. They served my food very fast. It was grilled to perfection. Only problem I had was the server who tried to remove my drink and salad before I finished without asking. I liked my food, price was reasonable, will repeat if I need to shop there again.

First of all the view is amazing from the Meat and Fish lounge…read more We have tried fish and meat in the same table with friends and we dont like it a bit. The meat is normal usual meat. Nothing different and it seemed like no taste at all. Fish risotto wasnt ideal for that money as well. For food : 1 stars for service : 1 star and for view 2: star. Totally : 4 stars.

I have mixed feelings about this place. We went on a Friday night and even though we were not there…read morefor the entertainment, I have to say the live music was the best part of our evening. We went with the menu instead of the usual raki/ mezze. The chef is a known chef in Turkey and we wanted to sample his creations. While the ideas might be good, the execution was all over the place and mostly not good. The sea bass in tarhana coating was bone dry and clearly not made with fresh fish. The clams with bechamel sauce were completely overpowered by cheese and contained handfuls of salt crystals (very crunchy! ). The octopus with mastic was good. The lamb with wheat pilaf and prune paste (or something like that) was completely dry and under seasoned. I wouldn't go back.

While walking here through the super cool Taksim neighborhood, we passed the butcher shop that sells and showcases the meats that this restaurant serves. It was a cool opportunity to both see, and eat, the high quality meats that they have. Also, the fries were perfect, and unsalted. I added my own salt and pepper and these heavy pepper/salt grinders are the coolest!! The decor is clean and interesting, with some outdoor seating too. And free wi-fi. Really hip spot!

We came here on our last night in Istanbul, after having ordered at tons of restaurants both in Turkey and Greece. At each establishment, my husband and I were able to share a mixed grill and be STUFFED. Not here! Kasabim is a bit pricier and with smaller portions than a lot of other local establishments, but it is also slightly more upscale. So, we left a little hungry but it was totally our own fault--to be fair our lovely server did mention that the portions were not large. The food itself was FAB, but if you're hungry don't expect typical Turkish doner or kebab portions. The vibe here is very relaxing, the service is superb, and I enjoyed the experience thoroughly. I would return if I were in the area again.
