I like Çiço. It's a place my good old friend Merve discovered, next to Bir Büçük, but up an…read moreelevator to the top floor. Keep climbing to sit on the terrace, which is nice in winter or summer, but sometimes crowded/full. One of the good things about Çiço is its reasonably priced and wide selection of beer. Another is the fact that you can get a 70ml beer, which is always good. As the restaurant has a sort of Mexican theme, you can even get nachos, which are the best I've had in Istanbul. The menu is a bit pricey here and there, but totally fine for a central and cool place near Istiklal. Go for a bite to eat and a chat with a few friends; a nice place to pre-game and get delicious foods (huuuuge selection).

The food is inspired by the Mexican cuisine, and there are plenty to choose from but please save room for the dessert! They have the so far best cheesecake I tried in Istanbul and there are several toppings to choose from. I can highly recommend the Tavuk chili con carne - perfectly spiced! The service is very good, the staff is always helpful and their english is very good.

This is one of the more overpriced and overrated burger joints in the city. The ambiance was nice…read more We ordered ShackMeister Burgers and Fries with Cheddar cheese. Burgers were small but tasty, a bit fatty for our taste. The burger bread tasted like fabricated (like Uno bread) instead of hand-made, which was unexpected for us. As for the fries, they were OKish, cheddar on top completely dominated the taste. Overall, the burgers were small and unsatisfying. We were expecting a different experience. If you are in the city, you can try other joints like Virginia Angus or Komsu Burger. Much better taste with similar price tag.

This place has one of the best burgers I've ever eaten so far. The quality of service is good and…read morethey have fast delivery. They have this buzzer machine which vibrates showing that your order is ready to pick up. So, it's a convenient method. The prices are reasonable due to the high quality of meat, bread and the brand itself for sure. :)) It's a bit pricey but the taste is amazing that you'll never forget. I always like to order Shake Burger and regular french fries. I generally eat double Shack which is obviously much bigger in size and meat and cheese as well. So, you guys should give this place a chance for sure. Just go there and choose any burger of your preferance and you won't regret it, believe me. That's just my opinion of course but most people like the taste and the burgers totally worth it, I mean it. :)

The Fettuccine Alfredo and Fajitas I got were both solid. The pasta was a little watery but tasted fine. Also I wish they served the Fajitas with rice and more beans. In the background you can hear music from like the 60's-70's I'm guessing. I still would come back though, its a nice relaxing place to pass time and talk with someone.

Small and cozy restaurant with average pretensions.

The food was ok, I had a soup of the day (broccoli soup) and a felafel salad. Something to be improved on the service: I asked the salad with no tomatoes and it came with it (it seems it is not conceivable for turkish to be intolerant to tomatoes...), I asked for a glass for the beer and had to ask 3 times. At a certain point, they decided to open the big window (in order to pass the dishes to the waiter faseter without him coming inside all the times) and let chilly air come inside. Still, you can give it a try if you are in the area.

I've been meaning to try Tribeca's restaurant in Etiler since I discovered that they had a branch…read morehere. Judging from their location I had hoped that they had a garden similar to their branch in Yenikoy (now closed). While they do have seating outside it's not really a garden and it fell short of my expectations. I had the Texas bagel and we ordered Bruschetta to share. The waiter mixed up the order and brought me something else. When notified of the mistake he quickly apologized and changed my bagel. The bagel itself was good and the side salad was ok. I find the portions to be too small for the prize. The Texas bagel is priced 40₺ which is very expensive considering the size. The bruschetta was not good. The bagel they served it on was crumbly and the tomatoes weren't fresh. To end on a positive note. The interior design looks better than the outside seating. The waiters are kind, service is quick and the music was very nice. I don't think I'll return but if you want to try this place maybe go for breakfast instead of lunch. The breakfast menu looked much better.

You could hear the beefs cooking from the kitchen. We ordered four cheeseburger menus and one chicken burger menu. It came with chips and a soft drink. All the burgers were delicious: the meat grilled, fresh tomato, cheese, onions and pickles. The chips were the best we've had yet in Turkey! Excellent food. The menus are priced around 17-25 TL, which is a reasonable price. If you're going to get a burger in Istanbul, this should be the place!
