My berry smoothie was excellent and the burger was average. With that said, I wouldn't order their meat platters . if they cannot grill an amazing burger, I wouldn't wanna pay the price for a steak. Note, they also do hookah in the restaurant. Towards the end of my meal the adjacent table started smoking. It wasn't too bad since it is an open air restaurant.

Especially when they included a salad with no cooked components and a smoked salmon that I assume was premade due to the length of time needed to smoke salmon. When we asked the waiter, his face made it seem like he either forgot to place our order or didn't expect us to actually want our food within a reasonable hour since everyone besides us was smoking hookah. We just hoped for better than "hamburger helper" quality bolognese. The view didn't necessarily justify the food and service being mid.

Any is the new Goldmine on the European side of Istanbul, right in Arnavutköy. For those who know…read moreIstanbul, know that there has been one bar (Lucca) that has kept its popularity over the years, despite its small indoors, and has had people overflowing on to the streets. Now, since about a year a new trendy place has opened up and that is Any. It has become the neighborhood hangout, whether it's for brunch, lunch or dinner, drinks or partying. People meet up here now at all times of the day and it is always crowded. Since my best friend lives right above it, I have been here several times each time I visit Istanbul. It has a chilled atmosphere during the day, but at night it suddenly becomes the trendy place to be. Starting with drinks the crowd moves on to a club atmosphere when at 11 all the tables and chairs in the middle get removed and turn into a dancefloor. The DJ plays on Fridays and Saturdays until 3 in the morning, when the lights go on again. There is also a second floor to dine but it is only reserved for big groups. The brunch menu is rich, like any Turkish brunch menu offering a wide range of yummy options. What's great for Tourists or non-turks are two special items on the menu: pork-ribs and Frankfurter Sausage. As a Frankfurter, I of course had to try the interpretation of our sausage. It is definitely not a Frankfurter from a local's perspective but rather a crossover between Frankfurter and Bratwurst with a buttery middle. Served together with pickles and potatoes with red peppers. Like I said, it the interpretation accord to local taste but definitely yummy. The ribs come with a housemade sauce which is a little like barbeque sauce but a little spicier. The drinks menu is also extensive and delicious as well with a variety of cocktails. Do try the cocktail with Ginseng, it is quite refreshing!

It was highly recommended so we actually made a day itinerary around it. However, fhe service was slow, but drinks were amazing, we actually were very happy until an hour and a half wait for our food.

If you are traveling and are and outsider, do not recommend to consider this restaurant.
