The Wrap has been a staple for me for years. Maybe because they literally have not changed their…read moremenu since 2006, and guess what, I am OK with that! Their wraps are large (not cheap) but definetly filling! "They have a few veggie wraps for our dear vegheads and a whole wheat tortilla option as well. Their smoothies are OK, but if you are ordering out, they don't travel very well. Don't bother not asking for the free mashed potatoes becuase they send it no matter what. Again, this is a great sunday ordering place if you are to lazy to cook and bored of the standard Turkish kebab. Try to the basil wrap bone, the moe and tom wrap and of course the Philly Cheese steak!

Ok first off this place is pretty amazing! The wraps, onion rings, smoothies, and carrot cake are…read moreall pretty darn good! This place might have found its way into my regular rotation. The place is nice and warm to relax with a small group of friends. The sitting seats with comfy and there is a place outside to eat also if you want fresh air.

The wraps can be pretty filling, so I would say get a small one if your not to hungry.

Desserts are meh. HOWEVER the staff I think collectively suffer from what one might call the "french exchange student syndrome", whereas when somebody goes to France for a semester, they adopt the french attitute to life. Meaning that they gracefully "allow" you to sit at their cafe and have the higest honour imaginable of tasting their coffee. They aren't necessarily rude, they're simply indifferent, in modern terms, they can't even. So yes, if you want to be treated like a Syrian refugee by all means, Karabatak is the perfect place. However, 3rd wave cafés popping up like Kanye at an awards show, hopefully Blackswamps iron rule (I mean the name is a dead giveaway) might come to an end soon. LONG LIVE AFFORABLE CAFÉS WITH GOOD COFFEE!!

If you are in the Macka Park/Besikitas areas, do check this out! This is located in the backstreets…read moreof the Macka area near the Macka and The W hotel. They have casual seating inside and a few tables outside. I looked at their Google Reviews and Instagram and asked the chef to "make it like that one" which was a double cheeseburger with garlic onion paste. The fries here were insane, they have a nice red pepper/oregano like seasoning, its the common seasoning they put on most restaurants in Istanbul.
