We had fish, calamari, and garlic shrimp and they were all delicious! There are a lot of great mezzes to choose from. For a good seafood restaurant right on the pier we felt that it was very reasonably priced.

Such a great spot! We came with a large group and were taken well care of. The cold mezzes were…read morefantastic and so were the warm mezzes. I died over the shrimp guvec. The owner came to visit us and gave us recommendations. We had a blast and would definitely come back again.

One of the best Kebab restaurants in Istanbul. The lahmacun's are just delicious and the kebabs…read morewere great. Especially the Adana Kebab was magical. I just loved this place, definitely recommended.

So one of the rudest waiters I have ever seen works in this restaurant. I don't know if he doesn't…read morelike tourists who don't speak Turkish or something but he was just the opposite of friendly. No one in the restaurant speaks English, which is fine, I just use Google translate. But this waiter I am talking about here, I don't know his name so I am just going to randomly assign him one. Let's just call him Dick. Again totally random name. I was asking Dick if they had the wifi password and he told me plainly that they have no wifi even though there is a network with their exact restaurant name and is the only wifi network available. So Dick was obviously lying to me. Strike 1 . Then he brings me my dish I ordered and asked me if I wanted a Coke after I already ordered. I told him "no thank you I already have water." Dick starts to scowl at me and start muttering in Turkish, most likely something not nice by the way he looked at me. Look, if you want to talk shit about your customers, at least do it when they don't see you . Strike 2 . When my meal was done, Dick brings me the check and I was looking over the bill for a minute and he starts to tell me to hurry up, gesturing the credit card machine to my face in case I didn't get his meaning. I didn't care at that point, I was so annoyed with him. I took my time looking over the bill and paid when I was ready. Dick gave me my receipt and left without a word. Strike 3 . Now let me just say, I had no problems with any of the other waiters. I even had a laugh with one of them because of some translation confusion. Also, the food was not bad. The chicken shish and lahmacun were solid. I definitely would've given them a better review if it weren't for Dick. But alas, he really turned this into a 2 star experience.

When my friends said that they wanted to meet at a fish and chips place for dinner, I was a little…read moreworried, to tell the truth. Why would anyone want to go eat something British in Istanbul? But they said that there was no need to worry, they wouldn't go out and eat something mediocre just for the sake of doing something "different". And sure enough - both the fish and the chips were just fine. The way they are supposed to be - the fish not too soggy, not too dry, crusty batter and all, and the fries nice and crispy, really fresh and, well, all potato. Clearly more than just some novelty place for non-discerning locals or homesick tourists. Some of us said that the oil they use for frying could be not just good but excellent, but I didn't really find anything wrong with it. Good tasty fun to start a Saturday night on Bagdat Caddesi.

The business moved from Kalamis to Goztepe, hopefully it will stay here! Good fish and chips and…read moretaste wise pretty close to what I would get at home. Afiyet olsun

The ambience was really nice. I liked the open kitchen and the fact that the owner was there the whole time we were there. Our waiter struggled a little bit with English so at one point the owner approached our table and offered us a more clear explanation of what they had for dessert and then asked the waiter to get us a sample of everything. Good call. An overall great experience. If you're touring Istanbul, don't let those big restaurants on Istiklal Street suck you in. Instead, look for this place (or places like this) tucked away on one of the side streets.

All the outside tables were taken however the owner was very accommodating and moved us to an outside table when one opened up. The food was excellent. Great salads and pasta.
