What a meal! I was in Istanbul for work and took a couple days to relax with some friends who flew…read morein. We stumbled upon this place while walking through Karakoy, and couldn't have been happier. I loved pretty much everything I had, but the Turkish Ravioli, stuffed grape leaves, and Kofte were a few of the highlights. Wine was good, and I tried Raki as I had never had it before. Staff was gracious, food was delicious, and outdoor patio had a great vibe. We went for lunch and it was empty, and returned the next day for dinner and it was packed. We couldn't get a seat; so if you are interested in dinner, make reservations. Get the soufflé for dessert!

This place was amazing. The food was excellent, from the cold mezes (roasted eggplant, yogurt…read moretzatiki were delicious), to the hot mezes (you must try the manta and the zucchini fritters) to the entrees (kofte were fabulous, as were the lamb chops. The offal was good if you like that sort of thing). Desserts included a crunchy pumpkin sweet and a tahini soufflé (must have!). Service was wonderful. The restaurant itself is modern and trendy, with a great heated patio in front. Definitely a place to unwind and relax after a day of touring the sites of Karakoy, Eminonu and Sultanahmet!

Best doner we had in Istanbul/Turkey! It's very far from the city center (about a 40-minute Uber),…read morebut it's very popular among locals and when the Uber driver saw where we were going he said, "Yes, that place is the best"! The meat is super juicy and doesn't have the same gamey taste that is present at a lot of the other doner joints throughout the city. They also provide plenty of bread, toppings, and sauces. Despite its popularity, we didn't have to wait at all--the restaurant is enormous and has plenty of space for everyone, and any party size. It's a great place to sit and chat with friends, or grab a late-night snack (which is what we were doing). I'd highly recommend checking it out if you have the time!

Five stars, hands down! This place was recommended to us by our local guide…read more The restaurant was packed when we visited on a weekday for lunch. The menu is deceptively simple- doner served either with rice or in a thin flatbread wrap in 3 sizes- small, medium and large. But the flavors are out of this world! Served along with a bowl of simple salad, thinly sliced sumac onions and banana peppers, this meal was one the highlights of my trip to Turkey. We also to got a plate of fries/patates tava, and they were delicious with the doner. The service was prompt and professional. We washed our meal down with Ayran, and complimentary tea. This place is a must visit gem!!

I was staying across the street and stopped by after looking at the menu. The men who run this…read moreplace were incredibly kind and spoke English, which made things easy. I wasn't totally sure what to order, but they took the time to help me out. I ordered the chicken döner and it was excellent -- huge portion, super tasty, and only about $5 USD. I was honestly impressed by both the food and the service. Definitely recommend stopping here if you're nearby!

Yup! Three star food. And the service was OK…read more But we really wanted a place a bit removed from the maddening crowds where we could sit and watch city life 'happen' from a second floor veranda on a rainy day. Score! This was perfect for that! The kebabs were just OK. But we could have spent the entire afternoon people watching. Less than a hundred meters off the main pedestrian mall, you have to look for it, but just far enough out that you're a bit removed from the bazillions of tourists and maddening crowds. All things considered equal, I say "go."
