Get there and easily seated. Small place but people were constantly going in and out and place was buzzing with tourist and locals alike. Menu properly labelled with prices so not a tourist trap. Sat down and ordered the lamb chops and the Adana kebabs (minced meat). Both dishes outstanding. The lamb chops were the best I've ever had. Grilled just right to perfection. Seasoned well with Turkish spices and meat was juicy. The kebabs were the same. Juicy and succulent and perfectly seasoned. Came with complimentary lavash and spicy hummus dip and some pickled veggies. Service quick and portion sizes just right. When in Istanbul, a must try for sure. Cheers! Happy eating!

I was going to try the turkey lamb chop. So I pick a restaurant close to grand plaza. It was close…read moreto the tram station. There are four chops in the set. The chop was pan fried to almost well. I am guessing they don't ask about the temperature. Overall the food is good. The meat here is a bit tougher than the United State. They are likely seasoned. The meal comes with grilled pepper, tomato and turkey blow bread.

Very comfortable location for locals, and more so for internationals visitors. Honestly good sea food, fantastic service, and extremely friendly staff. I just have been offered a free bottle of a very good wine, when I complained about the general quality of Turkish wines. Do visit the place if you have a chance, a bit too far from Istanbul. But if you are in the neighborhood, do go. Z

We also tried grilled Sardalya as this is the season for it. Levrek is still my favorite. Raki, honeydew and feta cheese are classical Turkish seafood companions. You can finish either with a fruit platter or oven baked helva. And of course, a Turkish coffee. This place has always been a great seafood restaurant of our choice for many years.

The Greek salad was fabulous and of course I ordered a whole Seabass grilled which they were kind enough to give me half portion because I was by myself and they charged me for half meal. I absolutely recommend this place and remember you're going there for a beautiful view of the city.

The crab appetizer was very good. The salad was filled with parsley that overpowered the whole salad. Also be prepared for smoke filled rooms. Only about five smokers but they were non stop and made dinner uncomfortable. The positive was the beautiful view!

A variety of fish dishes , good service, and clean, nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!read more

We were looking for fish, Turkish style, and found this restaurant…read more Because we wanted to try a mixture of fish, we went with the seafood platter for 2. Some fresh fish catches including sea bass and a couple of frozen fish like tuna and salmon were on the dish. Add in the calamari and pawns, and we got what we were looking for. The restaurant has a chill vibe and we enjoyed looking out the window to people watch. It is conveniently located near the tourist sites so that is a plus. Wait staff were friendly and service was good. Worth the try and you can expect to pay about $100 US before drinks.
