There weren't many reviews of this place when I went, but I was craving some Lebanese food so I…read moretook a chance and I was not disappointed! It was located in a nice area of Istanbul that was less crowded compared to where we were staying (which was by the blue mosque). First off, I was impressed with the huge selection in the menu! There's a general menu, a vegetarian menu and a vegan menu . I got the fattoush salad and shish barak and my husband got the chicken wrap with special sauce. We both really enjoyed our meals and one of the better meals we've had while at Istanbul!

Servers were all nice and helpful despite our only knowledge of Turkish being "hello" and "thank you" To sum it up: quick, easy, and fresh!

They give you pickled cucumbers and 2 sauces alongside a busket of bread for free as starters.
