Our party of eight arrived and was seated in a very long table with the bench and some chairs were quickly attended to by an excellent friendly Staff willing to be patient with our local translator. The menu and food here has improved over the years and is now an authentic Kumpir restaurant one of the best around as far as I could tell for the short time we were there. Two of us split a really excellent baked potato with with the Mediterranean salad, accompanied by an assortment tray of fresh squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, and a dressing. Although the potato with cheese, jalapenos, olives, etc., was by itself well prepared, we did add vegetables (mushrooms, carrots, etc.) from another plate to increase the portions for the two of us. Along with the salad, which was also well prepared, and with the fresh dressing we were well pleased with the result. Although we are not sure if it was the size of our party, our elderly member, or the impending wedding, or a combination of all the above...the staff went out of their way to ensure we were satisfied. They even threw in free Turkish Coffee or tea after our entrees. Well recommended. We will return during future visits to the University.

For starters, for a lobby restaurant I have never encountered more refined service ever. The service here is as refined as any high end five star restaurant anywhere. The servers here are amazing. Order a glass of wine, and take a look at the bar where you will find him/her swirling your glass to be sure your wine is perfectly aerated. The one miss-ordering a cocktail can be an adventure as it may take a while before you get your drink. But they can mix a mean margarita. Albeit, it's the Turkish version made with lemon as limes are not available in Turkey. But don't be afraid to give it a shot, as it does work and it's very tasty. Food presentation here is an art, almost to the point where you're afraid to take a bite into your meal. But you will give into temptation and after a while will be treated to perfectly crafted Italian inspired cuisine. And speaking of Italian, the pasta dishes are to die for. The zitti is amazing and not to be missed. Given the price point, this place is a bargain.

The sea bass was perfect! Very moist and the filets were perfectly deboned. Breads were fresh and warm and came with a olive oil based dipping tray that had some bits of lemon, olives, and walnuts. Wait staff is courteous but some struggle with English. Bar service is very slow. WiFi is free but spotty. Although they have martini cocktail on the menu, they don't actually know how to make a proper one and the language barrier was too great to explain it. I ended up with sweet vermouth on ice in a martini glass with an olive and lemon peel, and gin in a separate glass on the side.

The manager and the hostess were super patient as we worked through the language barrier. The manager attended us most of the time and was very attentive. The tables, seats, and floors were very very clean (no flies, no sticky floors and no smelly or sticky tables)! The food came to the table quickly and the food was hot and any vegetables served were all fresh. The presentation of the food was excellently presented! We ordered hot tea, breakfast, and a caesar salad. Everything tasted delicious!!! To the Americans: do not expect any of the food (caesar salad) to taste exactly like in the states, but it's pretty close and better than any other restaurant in town! I will definitely go again! I would give 5 stars however, I did go back a second & third time and the same manager unfortunately was not working and the service dropped -some workers not so nice... but the food remained delicious! I would highly recommend! If you are visiting Türkiye and need a guide... we are available for private and small group tours!

The food offerings are kind of international eclectic, rather than Turkish. That is, it is mostly pasta, salads, sandwiches, and pizzas. The dishes we ordered were very good and portions were ample! My fettuccine with chicken & spinach was perfectly done. The staff was very friendly and English was no problem. Don't miss the mounds of Turkish Delight as you leave.
