I ate at this traditional Turkish restaurant when I went to Istanbul for work…read more There were about 40 of us in a long dining table and the service was pleasing and quick given that there were a lot of us and they had to take care of their other customers. Once seated, appetizers came right away: hummus, bread, pide, olives, and aubergine. For the main entree, there was this fall of the bone chicken with rice. It was a flashy eventful entrance for the chickens. They took out a cart that had three covered plates, lit it up, and then took down the covers. I couldn't really see because I was a bit far. But was it was quite a show! Then WALA. There was chicken inside. This chicken. I don't know how they made it, I'm guess it's salted-baked chicken but it was the softest and most fall of the bone chicken I've eaten. We also got the A Meter Pasa Kebab. Meter stick kebab is the dish to order. You won't be disappointed. Everyone in my table was quite entertained. To be frank, it was my first time seeing a kebab this long. The meat was tender, crunchy, and juicy. It's fall of the bone yummy too! The bread at the bottom of the meat seeped up all the juice which made it 10x tastier. For deserts, I had Kunefe, a traditional Turkish dessert made-up of cheese and drizzled with syrup, and Turkish tea. It tasted a bit tangy due to the orange blossom added to the syrup. Overall, I highly recommend this place! I am a fan. I'm definitely eating here again when I go back to Istanbul.

We came by on a Sunday around 6 pm during low tourist season (May) and they didn't have other customers. We had our choice of seats and took one of the small tables on their front step. There were a few other tables by the time we went. Just walking thorough the restaurant to go to the restroom upstairs, I was very enamored by their decor. Really well done, and the upstairs has an enclosed adorable outdoor area. Although we chose our seat out front, I knew we would've loved any seat on this restaurant. The service was excellent, the food was excellent. They had Wi-Fi, but my reception on the table outside wasn't great. I had a house cocktail, the Apple and Ginger Vodka - I told them I don't like drinks too strong and they made it perfectly. The fresh Apple slices were amazing, and the sweet apple flavor blended really well with the spicy ginger. Our starters and entrees were delicious; the Mini Fried Meatballs were heavier than the Zucchini Fritters but a good complement. See my photos for more details. It came out to 190 TL before tip for two starters, two entrees, one cocktail, and three beers. Pricey but it was worth it for our last dinner in Istanbul.
