When I arrived there was only one other customer inside. The restaurant decor was cute and I very comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming. This spot was a bit pricey just like most of the restaurants in this touristy area. I had certain Turkish entrees i wanted to try during my vacation. I ordered the Iskender kebab which is beef and pita bread covered with tomato sauce with yogurt on the side. I ordered a side salad to go with it. The dish was very delicious as you can tell in one of my pics. I chatted with some of the staff about life in Istanbul. I was offered some complimentary pomegranate tea before I left and it hit the spot. This is definitely a place to check out when you're in the area.

A MUST TRY. As an American, I have been SO impressed with food here in Turkey and if you are in the…read morearea, this restaurant is an absolute MUST-TRY if you're looking for great food. I had some of THEE BEST chicken kebab I've ever had in this country here. The beef kebab was also tender and flavorful. You cannot go wrong with any of these! The service was quick and prompt, and the servers were great at making recommendations. I came here in the winter so we sat indoors which felt a bit cramped however, there is also outdoor seating during the nicer weather months. If I'm ever back here in Istanbul, I would definitely come back. And if you're reading this, you NEED to try the Old Ottoman!

Service is responsive and attentive. Spicy steamed fish was very good. Complements to the chef. The chef used garlic, red pepper, and lime to masterfully to balance the taste and smell of the steam fish. The genius move was to add cabbage! The steamed cabbage altered the texture of the steam fish, turning powdery steam fish protein into a gentle adventure. The steamed cabbage also absorbed the garlic, chili, and lime and carried those flavors to our palate. Altering texture and taste in a delightful way with the humble cabbage. That is genius.

If you happen to be a tourist, these half empty tables, and chairs, will look dull to you. If you are a traveller, you know why you are here. I got all sort of soups ( offal is my fav. by far) in here. Any day of a week, anytime of the day, It always taste great. They have giblet dishes as well, standard Turkish cuisine. Some French and Japanese liked these dishes, but this is not for all. You should not miss it, if you are adventurer from gut. Sweet stuff? you should finish what you started! Enjoy

Authentic spot in Istanbul for doner kebab. Didn't intend to come here as we had just had breakfast…read morebut had t swing in once we walked by. The meat is cooked via charcoal instead of a gas flame, resulting in a more flavorful and less toxic product. When you come by, they will let you sample the meat, which is juicy and tender. After seeing the charcoal cooking and grabbing a sample, we knew we had to get some, despite being full lol. Group of 6 and ordered 4 doners to share which was perfect. If you haven't eaten, then one per person is perfect. The doner is wrapped in yufka flatbread and makes for the perfect snack or meal on the go. Friendly service and can dine in or take away.
