Views and atmosphere are out of this world. Really nice setting in the hills above Istanbul. Took my daughter here for a nice dinner. Went with corn frittatas which were sweet and tasty. Also an order of guacamole which was better than we expected. Mains were steak which went over well and I got a mixed kebab with meatballs and steak. Quite good though I did prefer the meatballs. Side of truffle fries were awesome. Bitter chocolate soufflé for desert May have been the star of the show. Super good. Had some Turkish red wine made from the local grape which was solid. Just a few tips. It can be cold even in summer, and windy. So bring a sweater. They will give you a shawl if you forget and there are heat lamps but better to not be chilly. Also they allow smoking (and usually there is a lot of smoking going on) so you have to deal with the smoke and bits of ashes whipping around the table. After dinner they will call you a cab to head on home. Check it out! read more

Amazing! Beautiful views. Service was great. Beat short ribs I have ever had. Other menu items we ordered were sea bass, burata, crispy shrimp and risotto. All delicious. read more

Ulus 29 - Beef short ribs - Turkish Near Me - Istanbul, 34

Fun experience with good music, subpar service and an eclectic menu. Out of the limited local selection we opted for their koftas and they were sublime. The view is to die for but in the fall and winter it can be a little cold. Listen to the music, it is a DJ playlist combining local Turkish and international dance music that will have you hopping in your table. read more

Excellent food, service and atmosphere! If visiting Istanbul a must try for a fantastic dinner.

Don't want to be unfair, but this place who shows an amazing view of beautiful Istanbul is kind of overrated, I was advised to go while visiting which by the way I selected to share my birthday celebration with family and friends, I was surprised when waiter approached our table with desert for me to blow candles, make wishes and .... Sad part, when I saw they charged me for this never ordered dessert, couldn't believe it, to my claim waiters showed not concern, so guess I paid of course, please be aware. Funny part, "the Ravioli dish " I will never forget the little Shrimp eyes looking at my friend coming out from the pasta, what make you laugh is never bad !! read more

Not only was the view amazing, but the food itself was some of the most amazing food I've ever had both in taste and presentation. I still have dreams about the steak sometimes. read more

Ulus 29 - Turkish Near Me - Istanbul, 34

Gorgeous restaurant, attentive staff, great food. The view from here is spectacular. Make a reservation in the summer time and ask for the terrace so you can enjoy eating outside overlooking the city. If it's too cold, make sure to request a window table! We tried all the lamb dishes for entrees. The best by far was the rack of lamb. It was melt-in-your-mouth heavenly. The others were good too, but that one was as good as it gets. Try the Turkish wine and a few mezzes. Everything we had here was delicious. read more

Dining at Ulus 29 was difficult for us. On the one hand, the view, food, and service were impressive. On the other hand, the menu was so ridiculously overpriced as to take an otherwise 4.5 star review down to a solid 3. The difficulty was seeing people eat such overpriced food in a city with immense wealth inequality. The menu itself is so expansive as to be almost confusing. Traditional Turkish dishes, classical French/Italian cuisine, plus sushi? That said, everything was very good to excellent and I have no complaints. Great food. But the prices! They must be using solid gold bricks in the oven....$35-$60 US for entrees is really inexcusable in a country where I can get a fantastic Turkish dinner for $5 US. The wine list too was expansive and even more pricey than the menu. Wines ranged from ~$50 US for the lowest end Turkish wines to upwards of $1500 US. Average bottle was probably around $300 US. That's just silly. Bottom line: You can do much, much better in Istanbul for the money. If money is no issue, it's worth a visit. read more

Good place for relaxing and enjoying the view of Istanbul. The food is good and the staff are very friendly

Our visit to Ulus 29 was very nice, the views are spectacular, service was Excelent, food was good but not as I expected, prices I thought were not bad for a restaurant of its kind. Overall I was pleased with my visit, e had a group of 5 and we tried the meatballs for appetizer they were excellent, I had for main dish the Cafe D" Paris good but I'be had much better, my husband had the track of lamb and he liked them but also have had better, or friends had the sea bass and it was OK but nothing to rave about. If you ask me I will go to Ulus again just because of the views and the service read more

For those who love dining in a classy restaurant, Ulus 29 is an ideal choice. Great Bosphorus view, stylish decoration, attentive waiters and tasteful menu. Also one of unrivalled night club in the city. Come here early to have a cocktail and enjoy the amazing view. On the other hand it is overpriced considering the tiny portions. read more
