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!

We were surprised and just laughed it off. I will only comeback for grilled chicken and yoghurt drink.

We reached there about 10 mins after the place had officially closed but the owner / host offered to make us some falafel wraps. He could have easily turned us down. The food was also delicious.

We got the lamb and a basic sausage pizza - both were mediocre at best. I travel for the food so I am definitely being bias with my rating. The food was not horrible but the lack of service after we got seated, the cost, and the extra charge for refills is what is giving this a less star that what I would originally give.

The atmosphere, besides the tacky fireplace is indeed cozy. We were seated in the upstairs sitting area. The menu has a whole host of different international dishes to chose from. We staid with the local selection, and my friends shared a Pottery Kebab as it is intended for two people. This is an actual local dish, and is not just a tourist offering, as we had seen it several other places as well. Pottery kebab is tomato-based meat stew, with lamb, chicken or beef, and veggies, baked inside a clay pot and cracked open at your table. It was quite the show, and I am sure we are in several stranger facebook shots from around the world. I ordered a lamb dish which was also quite tasty. Besides everything the food was actually OK. My review was lowered to three, almost two stars, because of the lack of service. It is one thing to be slow, but for example, after asking for the bill three times, and waiting 20- 30 minutes between asking, we almost walked out. Plus, the place was not super busy, and there sere several waiters, there was no excuse.

Unfortunately, we didn't realize that 1) we could only order the breakfast set since it was before 2pm and 2) how pricey it ended up being since each of us had to order it ~$30pp I believe. The overall selection didn't feel worth how much we were paying since most of it was cheese, spreads, and bread... Regardless, the presentation was stunning and the quality was overall great.
