Overall, bad service. Wait time to receive the menu took about 15-20 mins. Before that, we didn't…read moresee anyone even acknowledge that we were there or walk by us. We ordered chicken kabob and chicken shawarma plates, were told it would take 30 mins. for food to cook. We said we were okay with that, but 40 mins. later and we still had no food while many others that arrived after us were served their plates. The tea we ordered never came either. We would not dine here again due to their slow service.

The bad part is I sat outside and everybody smokes even during dinner or lunch. So I don't think I will be back here since the smoking bothered me so much.

Open super late, this little gem was such a nice discovery!!…read more We checked into the W around 2am and we're starving for some street food to start our Turkish food journey. We wanted something nearby so our concierge guided us into the back neighborhood full of bars and good eats. Fridays night and full of young hipsters, this place was quite full so we sat down and ordered , pointing to a picture that looked like some sort of wrap. We sat outside and the waiter finally brought it out on a plate. It was a very thin long wrap with some pickled peppers and some lemon to squeeze before every bite. Let me tell u, it was delicious. The meat was fragrant and had some kick, and it also had some tomatoes, onions, and lots of fresh parsley. The flat bread was thin, chewy,... Just simply perfect!!! Needless to say we ordered 4 between the 2 of us. Best part is the price- 7 liras each so only about $14 total. What a steal!! So Ayla gave us quite a nice introduction to Istanbul eats. Can't wait to try other places, but I know we definitely will be back in the next couple days! day 2: midnight update. couldn't help myself. so friggin good. i just ate 3 of these. delicious!

I really like it. It's little, cute, delicious and not so expensive. I definitely recommend it…read more Apart from ice cream they also serve hot beverages, which are ok. As far as ice cream goes, they have yearly and seasonal ice cream, with the seasonals being fruit based. Unfortunately they don't offer any chocolate chip cookie sort of ice cream, so more Movenpick than Ben and Jerry's. It's very light and not very sugary, which is a plus in my opinion. It's simply good ice cream, what can I say? Go try it :)

There is a very rude person named Hulya working here. She does not know how to talk to a customer.read more

This place is packed during lunch break. Food is very good, I meant greasy shavarma ( chapped beef,…read morespices, and grilled ) called tantuni. Thats the authentic name from S. East of Turkey. You can enjoy pickles along with it. Its not street food cheap, its average priced. In the end, its not street food. I had guest who enjoyed watching running service staff during rush hours at restaurant. It is not very family friendly at lunch, its much quiter at dinner. Enjoy!

Yes it was a bit pricey, but that's kind of the theme in Istanbul I've found, but the quality of everything made it very worth it.

There are two turkish restaurants with nearly identical menus one block apart (around a corner)…read more This is not the good one! This is a factory, and the diner is riding on the assembly line. Service was unfriendly - three different servers and none greeted us, none made eye contact. Within the hour, three glasses fell from a waiter's tray near us, one of them shattering and bouncing up onto a table where people were eating, but no one offered to replace their meals. The food here is mediocre. Nothing memorable. We ordered rice (twice) and the second time were told they were out. Meat had little flavor. They made a drink that was good, and we ordered a second one that was terrible. Bartender shift change, and the second one just made things up (wrong liquor, wrong flavoring). We left it on the table after a sip and instead of taking the charge off the menu, the waiter replaced it with a drink that was marginally better (still the wrong liquor). Go around the corner to Nisantasi Baskose, where the menu is pretty much the same, the food is 3x better, the service 5x better and it's a quieter atmosphere, at the same price.
