No hairy rich contractor bellies, dipped in raki (Rakıya bandırılmış kıllı müteahhit göbeği) . Places by the bosphorus are filled with them, not here. So it's the ideal place for a romantic evening They have awesome fresh tapas. But usually turkish dishes, and tapas' derived from mezes.

Came here on a busy Friday night which was also Christmas Eve, 2021. Our party of 4 probably…read moreordered half of the items on the menu: guacamole, french fries, fried zucchini straws, pate plate, soups, meatballs, duck rolls, popcorn shrimp, ribs, ice cream, cheesecake, and many other items. To say everything was exceptional is an understatement! The food was incredibly tasty, served at the perfect temps, and prepared to perfection. The service was beyond amazing: our server even cut most items into quarters and personally served all of us. He was incredibly attentive (but not overly attentive) and took care of everything we asked for very quickly. The manager also spent quite a bit of time with us taking care of everything. She was beyond incredible! Beyond the food and service, the decor was out of this world and the atmosphere was great. I could go into specifics on how amazing the craft cocktails were as well, but just take my word for it when I say they were world class. I've not had many dining experiences as good as this in my whole life. If you are ever visiting Istanbul and you don't visit this place, you are truly doing yourself a disservice. A true gem!!! We'll be back the first chance we get. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

It's 300 per person if you don't drink, however the cuisine is neither unique or special enough to spend that sort of money. It's urban cuisine done good, but that's it. Even the side dishes you can order with your main dish are extra. I've had 3 pieces of fillet meat and mashed potatoes for 67 liras, which ought to give you an idea. Yes it tasted fine, but not amazing. The only unique food on the menu are the steak tartare and the snail. But to have a coffee, this is pretty much the perfect place as it's reasonably prices and the coffee is really good. (Julius Meinl) You can sit inside or outside, and the ambiance and service is genuinely good, however you either must be loaded or trying to impress somebody if you're having a proper dinner here.

Glad to see that's not the case. Unfortunately I forgot to check as we were leaving what the neighbouring restaurants are called but basically the entrance is on the north side of the street (right hand side coming from Istiklal) through a non-descript door with the words 'Emre Han' on it, you then have to go into the lift and press for the 6th floor. Ask, as we did, staff at other restaurants for help if you miss it! The interior is utterly charming, a sort of attic garden, almost like a picnic railway carriage. It was packed at 9pm on a Wednesday night and there's nowhere really to wait/get a drink but we were seated after only about 10 minutes (grab a menu to amuse yourself, it's a great read). You order by writing down the dishes you want on a piece of paper, which saves a lot of pointing and poor translation. We went for the cheapest 37.5l wine, which like all the Turkish wine we had was very good. We opted for three mezze and one casserole dish. Foolishly I didn't realised the meat wasn't minced in the one we picked, so was not that keen on that aspect of it but the cheese/bechamel/aubergine part was great, and my friend who does like chunks of meat assured me the whole thing was delicious. We also like the courgette mezze we got although it had too much yoghurt on it, rather drowning the vegetable. The cheese pastry we had was obviously delicious but for me far and away the best dish was a cauliflower mezze which was subtle in flavour, cooked perfectly and one of my favourite things we had in Istanbul. Would definitely return/recommend.

It was nothing like a remembered, first of all the tables are located very close to each other so you literally eat elbow to elbow with the next table. The restaurant was packed and it was very very! noisy. I hardly heard my husband sitting across the table... I remembered this place as a dim lit romantic place however not this level of noise. We ordered main course with chicken: Chicken with Madagascar sauce and chicken Schnitzel. They tasted ok, but the fact that they appeared in literally in 10min after we ordered them was super bizarre. We felt extremely rushed. This could have happened as we didn't order any appetizers or alcoholic beverages with the dinner - due to health reasons- and our main course was delivered and collected extremely fast in the end. Overall, I did not enjoy this place on a Friday night date. There are much nicer and elite places in Bağdat Caddesi that could be chosen as a date place, apparently I am not coming back here again.

This restaurant had a friendly, warm, welcoming atmosphere. I actually got to sit next to the boss and his party (they were celebrating a birthday) and they were nice enough to offer me a piece of birthday cake. They didn't have an English menu but the server happily explained the main dishes to me to help me make a decision. I ended up ordering hummus and pita as a starter and a beef kabob with tomato and pepper. Both were delicious (see pics). Finished it off with a glass of red wine and the birthday cake mentioned above. Overall great experience. If I'm in the area again on business is definitely come back.
