    Great interior

    The burgers here are an experience. The beef is truly high quality and the options available all seemed so good I couldn't decide! The burgers come fairly quickly and each patron is given a pair of gloves so you don't get too messy! I loved my burger so much, but the amount of cheese made it so rich I couldn't finish it. Would definitely be back here as loved this location.

    When in Turkey I had to try salt bae. And they always rave about the burgers so I had to give it a try. Staff is very friendly and they speak English which is a plus for English speaking patrons. Ordered the double juicy burger. And truffle Parmesan fries. It also comes with gloves to eat with. The burger lives up to its name, very juicy and delicious. Cooked to perfection. I believe ham was also in it, I couldn't tell. The fries tasted magnificent as well. Highly recommend. Prices are very reasonable but I also understand the economic situation here in Turkey and isn't reasonable for locals.

    I enjoyed the best burger I have ever had in my life, and I have enjoyed a lot of burgers... and in some legendary burger spots. I have to admit I was not impressed with Saltbae' stunt at the Super Bowl, but it did get my attention. In fact, that's what drove me to to try this restaurant which was nearby. The simple fact of the matter is that there is no hype. His burgers reign supreme. I opted to try his signature Salt Bar Juicy Burger need to have it cooked as recommended. I was told it was medium well done. When it came out, it was perfectly done, and looked more like medium rare to me. The bun is black the black comes from squid juice. The squid juice is not something that can be tasted, but the freshness of the bun, and its texture was perfect. Of note the bun never got soggy and was easy to hold from start to finish. I don't know where all the juice went, but it went somewhere as the burger was in fact juicy I also don't know what kind of cheddar cheese they use, but it was off the hook, probably the best cheddar cheese I've ever tasted on a burger. Just enough flavor and creamy taste and the texture again was perfect. On top of the burger was a thin slice of barbecue meat. The meat did not have an overwhelming barbecue flavor. In fact, an added texture more than flavor. As far as I could tell the hamburger meat itself was of the finest quality, this is what really turned me into a fan, the other accoutrements were perfectly balanced. I tasted the burger the cheese in the bun. I suggest you check it out and have no reservation in saying again - this was the most perfect burger I have ever eaten.

    This is easily one of the greatest burgers I've ever had. Perfection. The cheese was melted perfectly, the meat cooked perfectly (medium), and the bun was soft and warm. The "homemade" fries were also great!

    Stumbled upon Saltbae while walking around the Galata Tower and so glad we did. Their juicy burger was done just right and hit the spot. The lamb chops and kebabs were delish too. Our server was friendly and attentive.

    I haven't been to any other Saltbae location, but I had the privilege to visit the one in Istanbul, Turkey. To start, the burgers are phenomenal!! It was cooked perfect, nice and juicy and with great flavor. My favorite was the triple mushroom burger. The fries were also good and crispy just how I like them. I wasn't impressed with the onion rings. I felt they had no flavor and were super greasy. Also the shakes were not that good. Dont get me wrong, when they bring them to the table there is definitely a wow factor for presentation. But the Oreo one was filled with mostly whipped cream and the consistency was not thick enough for me to consider it a worthy milkshake. The keko Shake has a slice of red velvet cake on top which was decent but I probably would just stick to the burgers when I return. I cant remember the name of the cocktail pictured but I do remember it being very very good. So good that I had 2. And lastly, the service is just okay. They're always very busy and it doesn't seem like they have enough staff for the business they get. I will say that I think the cruise port is relatively new and im sure they're even busier with every cruise ship that docks there but hopefully that will get better with time. I would absolutely return for that burger anytime !

    I'll keep this short. The burger meat is too fatty and chewy, the fries too soggy and underseasoned…read moreand it's too expensive for a burger of that quality. Jimmy's Burger still remains the best burger and fries combo I had in Istanbul. However, even if you can't be bothered to go to Sariyer I still wouldn't recommend Baltazar, the burger really wasn't good, even McDonalds would be a better option than them.

    I like restaurants opened up by serial entrepreneurs. Stylish, modern and different. They tend to…read moreask more questions than a classic restaurant owner and came up with interesting solutions. Not sure if Baltazar is from an entrepreneur, but it definitely feels like. So someone with enough investment wanted to start a new franchise. You know what i like better, restaurants opened up by chef's who put their years of hard work, their soul, and their heart. It's a general problem with Karakoy area, so many cool places, but you feel everything is artificial. Just like Baltazar. I'm sure given a few more years these places will start to find their character. One kudos to them, their meat is really really tasty. But they really need the attention, care, and passion to cook it better and serve it better. They should goo look for traditional Turkish restaurants and learn from their care for their food and customers. If a steak house brings you well done, even though you asked medium, it's just not caring. I'm sure they know how to cook medium. Ohh... And I asked for an espresso and they said the machine is not working. I told them they are surrounded by cafes go and bring me from one of them. They thought about it, discussed it and after 5 mins they brought me a cup from the cafe next door. Any good Turkish restaurant would do it in a heartbeat, without a debate. So you see good service is not a decision, it's an impulse.
