The waiters have very little experience and should be working in a kebab house in some Turkish village. The prices are quite high which is fine since prices are ridiculous everywhere but you need service and quality to go with it. They need a new management and definitely a new professional staff.

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!

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 employees were nice but hardly spoke or understood any English, so basically Google Translate will be your best friend. Also I recommend the Chicken Caesar salad which was pretty taste. The wraps can be pretty filling, so I would say get a small one if your not to hungry.

I was told that this is a new restaurant in Istanbul and wow, they certainly are trying to leave an…read moreimpression. It starts with the amazing view of the Bosporus that you have from most tables and that makes you worry about the size of the bill - spoiler alert, its not expensive at all for the quality of the food and the location. What I love about Turkish food is that you can order a wide mix of different appetizer dishes that everyone than shares and in all the places I have been in Istanbul those small appetizers were the highlights of the entire meal. My main dish didn´t convince me 100% (grilled fish) but it couldn´t spoil any part of the great experience. Let´s talk about the service (which in Istanbul is great in most places anyway): absolutely outstanding, the friendliest waiter in my whole stay in Istanbul, who made us feel extremely welcome and did a great job at preparing the dishes on the table. Also the owner came by to say hello, which I found was a really nice touch. All in all, a fantastic place that looks super expensive but isn´t.

This is a very difficult restaurant to find. Once you cross the Galata bridge, follow the street…read morethat the tram runs on as it curves to the right. The restaurant is shortly after the curve, on the right-hand size. Only a small plaque indicates the location, in a building which looks like an office building. Once you enter, take the elevator to the top floor. We visited in the winter, when the terrace was closed to keep out the cold. There is still a brilliant view of the south European shore (Sultanahmet area). We went on a Tuesday and there were only two other tables, and we were seated at some distance away to create a cozy atmosphere. The service was good, and seemed proportional to the number of customers, whereas most Turkish restaurants seem overstaffed from a western European point of view. We ordered two meze starters, and got 8 different bowls. Next we had Karaköyüm manti (a type of pasta topped with yogurt), and hunkar begendi (lamb on a bed of roasted mashed eggplant). We had one small raki and one glass of wine to drink, in addition to water. For dessert we shared a sakizli muhalleb (mastic pudding with caramel and raspberry sauce) and tea. We paid 100 lira, including the tip for this meal for two. The food was quite good and this ended up being our third-favorite meal (second favorite dinner) of the entire trip. It is well worth leaving the Sultanahmet area to visit this restaurant, especially as it is not very far. It is well within walking distance; we took the tram there, but walked back across Galata bridge after our meal.
