Istanbul was love not just because of the history and architecture but most importantly for its…read morefood. The sweets and savory both are on point. You can actually go to a hole in the wall and get the best kababs or baklava or halwas every eatery is a sheer joy. So this is one of the best places for a kababfest all over Yelp, YouTube influencers backing that and also the most recommended place on internet based reviews. We chose a non busy time it wasn't that packed. This restaurant is not compact but definitely crowded in the sense that tables are very close to one another. The staff is extremely polite, helpful and friendly. We ordered a little bit of everything including liver. Each item was bursting of flavor and the meat used was top notch quality. Price point isn't bad. Do google the menu with pricing and these change quite often in places like Turkey which is a tourist hub. We paid with credit card no issues. The food came out piping hot and within reasonable grilling time. Definitely recommend this place it's a haven for meat lovers I can't wait to go back this is a solid 5 on 5 for me.

Extremely terrible experience. The following behaviors of this restaurant made us feel that they…read moretreat customers differently, discriminate against us, and engage in forced consumption: The staff were slack in their work; we called them several times, but they pretended not to hear us. They brought the wrong dishes. We ordered one lamb and one kebab, but the first time they served two lamb dishes. After another staff member scolded the server, the server still giggled and didn't take it seriously. They did not serve us pre-meal bread. When we asked, the staff said it was because we didn't order a salad. However, other customers who also didn't order salad were served bread. Moreover, during the rest of our trip, all the restaurants we visited provided free pre-meal bread. The worst part! When we paid the bill and refused to pay the service charge for the above reasons, the staff forced a 10% service charge without our consent. This is forced consumption!!! We should have turned to the local law enforcement authorities, but doing so would have ruined our entire trip -- and that is exactly why they acted so blatantly. I believe that in any modern country, such behavior is against the law!!! We had a wonderful trip in Turkey, but actions like this disgrace your country!!!

I'm Turkish-American. Came here from abroad with my Turkish wife to see friends we hadn't seen in…read moreyears. Was supposed to be a special occasion, but the service ruined our time. Good food, but such terrible service that we wish we went elsewhere. We waited almost an hour for a beer. Food temp wasn't good. Had stomach issues later that night. There was a cat going to the bathroom above our table on the rafters... very unsanitary. And the server had the balls to ask for a higher tip after we tipped him at (high) US standards. Total trash. The owner was there. Should have complained to him, but was just happy to get the hell out of there. If you're visiting from abroad, avoid this place. For the price, you could eat 3 other meals with 10x better service.

If you are not Turkish and looking for a kebab place, this review is for you. Yelp should really…read moreamp up its presence in Turkey. Locals are already in the know about Bedri Usta. This is the flagship store where you can also meet the celebrity chef himself. He is not Salt Bae, but he also well deserves the TV fame. Bedri Chef lives and breathes his restaurant and the chain he created from scratch. He used to be homeless and slept on the streets. Now he is a restauranteur that employs homeless, drug addicts and rehabilitates them with love, trust, and a chance of employment. Food is impeccable. When in doubt, ask the executive chef on the daily mezze selection and mixed kebab places. Fun spot, but the food really speaks for itself.
