I hope this place stays here forever because we love it!

First meal upon arriving to Istanbul. Very trendy, aesthetic restaurant. Designed to look like an…read moreoutdoor patio but is covered (might be able to open up though). Known for their grilled meats, which you can see cooking over the grill through a window peering into the kitchen. Arrived as party of 6 with reservations ahead of time. Local Turkish friends ordered for us so I don't know the exact price point of everything but it's definitely a bit more on the pricier side due to being in a nice neighborhood and its aesthetic. Ordered bottles of wine and a couple people ordered cocktails, which I saw were about $20 USD. Started with mezze, which is brought out to you on a tray. You can select which ones you want. Tzatziki was very fresh and a nice way to balance richer flavors of other dishes like the meat. "Turkish pizza" is a must and comes on a very thin dough that's covered in meat and herbs that you roll up. Kebabs are a necessity and feature a smokey deep flavor due to being cooked over open flame. Cool, hip restaurant that's fun for a "fancier" night out with friends.

The staff is friendly, the view of the Bosphorous at night is BEAUTIFUL and you can even hear the famous Turkish cats meowing and fighting around the restaurant lol. The food was DELICIOUS. If you're like me and not super familiar with a lot of Turkish dishes, they actually bring all of the appetizers on a huge platter for you to see so you know what to order. My pics - the Muhammara is a MUST. Had this in Doha where the pomegranate molasses were more prominent and made for an overall sweeter dish. Here it was spicy, sour, and still a little tart. The meats were so savory with juice oozing everywhere. We did the platter with lamb and a few other meats. Heads up taxis from here will require a bit of a wait. We were waiting for maybe 5 - 10 minutes before we were able to flag one down.

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!!
