They seated us and we found they did not speak English. However some nearby Turkish diner (we found ALL the reviews are in Turkish, a good sign) got up from his group and helped out. The staff walked us over to the display case to select our side dishes and helped us figure it out. When they suggested the mushrooms (giant, that we weren't familiar with) he said they are delicious and said 'come into kitchen' and showed them being sautéd! How's that for being helpful?! Fellow Diner: "You will love them!" Us: "Yes'" (Order the mushrooms! Devine!) Helped us understand how to properly enjoy the small bottle of Raki, and provided us with an exquisite dinner and experience! If you read this review, drop everything and get yourself down there for the Turkish dinner you are looking for. If there are no helpful diners nearby, just let them take care of you, I'm sure you won't regret it, easy on the budget for such a nice experience... Best wishes, fellow diners...

Sweeping views of the Marmara Sea & Istanbul. Fantastic breezes, contemporary furniture of couches & a DJ spinning cool tunes; we all were swept away by the feel of this place. Hostess sat our group at a great spot overlooking Sea. They serve Ceviche, Tapas, Small Plates & a few desserts; plus, handcrafted cocktails. We had planned on just stopping by for a drink, but ended up watching the sun set and spending the rest of the evening here (we left around midnight, but they were open until 2am). Cocktails: I started with the Red Lips. This was a delicious treat of vodka, Prosecco, pomegranate? with a whipped egg white froth on top. Yum. (had a few of these) Food: all the items were good, but there wasn't anything I had that is a Must Have. The Yellow Fin & the Empanadas were the standouts for me. Yellow Fin Tail Ceviche Empanadas Grilled Rib Steak w/chimichurri & lime dressing Octopus Lamb Cons? Pricey. Cocktails (around $15) & Tapas were LA prices. Smoking. People smoke everywhere. Service was a bit slow, at times. Husband had ordered his martinis with olives, but they kept bringing them with lemons (he didn't mention it to staff). Closed Sunday nights. This was a great spot to end our visit to Istanbul.

This part of the city is usually not frequented by tourists like us but the Sheraton was the only…read morehotel available during our layover in Istanbul and the front desk directed us towards the mall (Galleria) for possible food options. Since the weather was gorgeous outside, we decided to experiment with the outside dining options. Some chain restaurants along the road stood out as usual suspects but I wanted my friend, who was visiting Istanbul for the first time, to have a rather more authentic dining experience. Zeybe is the new kid on the block, which was founded by the frustration of its owner with the dry-aged beef phenomenon that's been apparently going in Istanbul pioneered by the likes of Nusr-et and Gunaydin restaurants. Zeybe's claim is that this process is too automated (e.g. Cargill) and creates more of a fast-food taste (Yuck!) that lacks flavor. In contrast, Zeybe uses a more prolonged and natural process of marinating their meats prior to grilling them. After getting a crash course in Meatology 101, we asked our waiter Cafer for tips. He suggested we start with the Çoban Salata and then choose a meat of our liking. I went with the Dana Pirzola (Beef Chops), which is usually neglected by its cousin Lamb Chops in the States. My friend wanted to try as many dishes as possible so she went with a small portion of Döner and Zeybe Köfte. Our waiter recommended that we try the Pear Juice (!) but it was a bit too adventurous for me. After we took our first bite, my friend and I exchanged smiles indicating that this was the real deal. The meat was so flavorful yet really tender. I thought the spinach puree was a bit too heavy for my taste but the baked potate was wonderful. My friend really liked her Döner but said that the Köfte was a little bit on the salty side. Overall, I think the meal was a big success; we really enjoyed the large outdoor seating area and the ambiance. Our waiter brought us some Pear Juice to try at the end which was a nice gesture. We walked back to our hotel satisfied with a belly full of delicious meat.

In the beginning I was served a dish of cold cuts with cheese which I didn't order, I thought it might've been a compliment from the restaurant, but I ended up billed for it. Don't know if this was some kind of misunderstanding or an intentional rip off. Anyway, if I ever go, I will try sticking to their steaks.

We were on the way to IDO Bakirkoy to go to Asian side of Istanbul , we found this excellent place and we end up trying of all the menu items , The Burgers are die for ..... And they are soo good that I did not even eat that delicious burger in America, you guys need to eat it to believe me !!!!! some of my friends they tried the Noodle dishes , they were also great and tasty , and we got some chicken fingers with Barbeque sauce which I loved . And at the end we wanted to try their famous Cup Cakes , assorted plate had it all . So bottom line , this is so far the best I tried in Istanbul highly suggest to my fellow American and Europen friends to go , and try it out. Their location in in Atakoy Park Marina, it is basically water side of Bakirkoy , they are next to Komsufirin . Eat and say thank you to me afterwards :)) Yum yum yummy :)) Guess this will be our permanent food stop from now on . Ohh by the way their Wine selection is out of this world all special ones from Gulor and other good brands . Istanbul -Atakoy Park Marina ( next to IDO Bakirkoy fast ferry stop ) Called B&N Kitchen , or Cake Factory their side company in the same location . or Burger & Noodle Kitchen is the English name on the door .Highly suggested .
