After a quick glance at the menu, we put in an order for a single plate of the famous beans (12 TRY = $4.65) as well as their wheat bulgar. These beans were very well cooked and remained soft on the outside while still maintaining a delicate firmness. The tomato-based sauce had been stewed with tiny bits of meat, which gave the whole dish a hint of smokiness. We both found this an incredible plate of beans. Also, the wheat bulger was cooked with tomato and spices and was incredible as well. We wish we had more time to try more of the menu, but from the looks of what the locals were eating here, the beans are the way to go! Definitely check it out if you're in Istanbul!

You're really paying for the ambience because it is a beautiful place to sit and enjoy meeting with friends. The food is OK but not the best. The prices are higher for what you're getting, but like I said, the ambience is awesome. The waiters and waitresses are really friendly and kind and generous. My pizza was more like a cracker style crust not a traditional dough style pizza, which I was disappointed. They serve coffee with a little cookie which is really a nice touch.

The area inside is small but there are also outdoor seating which is ok. Though the cafe is beautiful with the teddy bears I was warned not to order any food since it was mediocre and they charge Way too high since it is in a tourist strip. So I just thought I would get something to drink and try it out for my own opinion. The cafe is genuinely cozy and warm so I thought I'd try the mint lemonade n mocha coffee. Weird mix but actually pretty good.it more tasty like chocolate mint with a slight fruity taste. Definitely a must try. I just couldn't get over those cute bears :)
