It ain't cheap anymore folks, maybe it was never cheap to begin with and I just got lucky the first time, but in either case, an updated review is in order, cause if you're wallet conscious and want the experience but want to avoid spending upwards to 160TL per person sans alcohol, here is what you gotta do. First, the more the merrier applies here if you're going to be splitting the bill, with the sweetspot being a party of 3 ballerinas and you of course. To get things started, get a big salad, the tasting meze plate and the tasting meat plate, both of which are exceptional. Now you can order 2 or 3 mezes which you would like to have a private moment with, however don't overdo it, they hover around 12-15TL and it's easy to order too much. Then order the octopus, shrimp and calamari, the octopus being the "dayum daYUM DAYUMMM" dish. A single piece costs like 23TL so savour every mouthful. I personally like the calamari, but it's on the heavier side so one can avoid it if you want to keep things simple. Now onto the main dish, which will either be fish or meat, sadly there is nothing exciting on the menu at the moment. You may get the sea bass only in the event that you'll be splitting it, as it costs 100TL+. As for meat, you can either avoid the entrecôte, which is too fatty and pricey at 45TL, or settle for the kofte, which costs 25TL but is more common than seeing a girl wearing Uggs. Personally if you mustn't have to have a main dish I would stick to more mezes or entrees. Lastly, get the fig dessert, again to be split, with extra 2-3 slices of ice cream, as it's far too sweet and the ice cream balances it. A dash of salt helps too. Stick to water as it's unlimited. Now if you go the Italian way about this, and spread the dinner to 3-4 hours, only sporadically eating, this ought to fill you up and keep the check at a very manageable level, the ballerinas won't be eating much anyways. However let's say you do have the cash, well simply order every meze, stick to seafood, a couple nice bottles of white wine and give me a call will ya? read more

This place is absolutely amazing! They have no menu. Instead they have a daily selection of exquisite Turkish food. The ambiance is quite romantic consisting of grape vines hanging from the ceiling and oil lamp table lighting. If you are ever anywhere near Istanbul, or even far, you must come here. read more
