Overall not bad food but the prices are just crazy here. 38 lira for kebap! The baklava was not…read moregood but it was reasonably priced along with the drinks, but the kebap was so so for those crazy prices. Definitely hundreds of other places to go, which is disappointing because the kebap was actually pretty good. The staff is friendly enough and it's all self serve, basically running your tray down the line and grabbing or asking the chef to cook what you want. If not for the prices it wouldnt be awful.

Great food and cool people. Being from America this place serves huge portions. Would recommend!!read more

Easy and good food…read more We passed this place several times before. But one day - after spending some time at the Grand Bazaar - we decided to go in for a snack. It looks like a hole-in-the-wall, but has actually a real restaurant in the back. But we decided to eat at the counter just inside where's room for about four people, because we just wanted a quick bite. Choice is plenty and prices are - especially considering the prominent location - really low. We went for some fried little fish (sardines?) and fried mussels. Tasted really fresh, hot and crispy. A great little meal....exactly the kind of place you want to find in any town: Easy and good food for a small price. Service was really friendly and fast.

We were told to come here by our hotel. We were really excited for some seafood…read more It's located down the alley of shops off the corner near the grand bazaar. A great hole in the wall! The three of us ordered the mixed grill GRILLED, not fried!!!!! The owner then came in told us it would take 20 minutes for grilled. We said that's fine. 25 minutes later the food came out... ALL FRIED!! We told them it wasn't what we ordered.. And just lied out of his mouth. Every lie in the book including "the grill is finished" "too much food for the grill" ... Other people continued to get grilled food! He didn't apologize and the rudeness ruined the meal!

Holy DIABETIES!!…read more Absolute 5 ***** for the desserts. Overall experience 4 **** The place was a bit rough. Hafiz Mustafa 1864 is a dessert shop / chain all over Turkey, Istanbul at least. This location was packed, very popular I suppose. There was no seating available downstairs or outside when we stopped by... which was around 10:00 PM! This place was highly recommended by da wahine's co worker and the cover pic of the Saffron Tres Leches was absolutely calling out to me. So we put in the extra effort to try something from here. Luckily we were able to secure a small table upstairs close to the AC...cause it was an oven up there! The staff were running around like chickens, since the place was super busy. Had to flag down our waitress for everything; get a menu, place our order and the check. She even brought us a wrong item, but rectified it quickly. #Sugar: ~ Saffron Tres Leches - 5/5 As mentioned earlier, the cover pic of the Saffron Tres Leches absolutely called out to me... can't say I was disappointing. Actually I was thrilled to answer the call...lol. Super moist, creamy and really tasty! "Topped with saffron, tender, and moist, drenched in a perfect combination of cow, goat, and buffalo milk that will tantalize your taste buds. This exquisite tres leches is served floating in its milky sauce, and to add an extra layer of delicate, it is topped with saffron." - https://www.hafizmustafa.com/en/muhallebi The Saffron gives it a very unique flavor. Just get it. We don't have anything comparable stateside. ~ Âlâ Tres Leches - 6/5 Dayumn!!! I came here for the Saffron Tres Leches, but ended up loving iÂlâ Tres Leches more! DELISH! Not too sweet, with a rich Pistachio flavor. "Âlâ Tres Leches is a rich, signature milk cake variation famously served by the confectionary brand Hafiz Mustafa 1864, featuring a delicate sponge soaked in a unique blend of cow, goat, and buffalo milk, then finished with a special "âlâ" sauce and crushed pistachios" - https://hm1864.ae/shop/puddings/saffron-tres-leches/ - 1000% ACCURATE My sincere commiseration, if you have a nut allergy. This was the BEST dessert I had the whole trip... Absolutely amazing! Even the tiny Turkish delight we got with the Tea at the end was top notch! I highly recommend stopping by any Hafiz Mustafa 1864 if you get a chance...

This morning I was on my way to Pisi for breakfast, but was disappointed to see it was closed-I'm…read morenot sure if it's temporary for renovations or permanent, but Pisi was no longer an option. Deep had a few tables occupied and the customers seemed to be enjoying themselves, which I thought was a good sign and decided to try my luck. Although I couldn't understand any of the menu, I'm happy I stayed and tried to use my skills to order a traditional Turkish breakfast. At only 12 TL my platter included cheeses, sliced meat, tomatoes, cucumbers, marmalade and bread. It was all delicious! That priced also included a hot cup of tea. If you're looking for an authentic experience at a great price tag, I would highly recommend Deep!

The reason I chose it was that I was accosted by a very friendly employee as I walked by who explained in great detail what they had on their menu. After he went through all that trouble, I didn't think I could walk away. It turned out to be a good choice, since I had a very relaxing, nice dinner. I sat outside and could people watch while I ate. I really liked the Turkish beer that they served and the Iskender kebab dish. It came with a large piece of pita bread. They offered me a complimentary Turkish Apple tea at the end. The total came to 49 TL. It is true as another reviewer noted, that they add tax to your bill--not sure if this is normal. I think this restaurant is a good choice for tourists visiting this area.
