They didn't have any reviews on Yelp but we have been here twice while on vacation--the food is THAT incredible. I accidentally left a review for a different restaurant, so I'm glad we came back! Definitely try the breakfast for two if you can! Delicious!!

The bathrooms are clean and western style which is really appreciated when travelling abroad. The food was nothing to rave about.

This place was AMAZING…read more After a very long chill and drink sesh at another establishment in the area, bae and I were hungry and tryna chow down on some turkish grub. This place was in the vicinity and decent according to trip advisor AND open late. The restaurant is gigantic. I'm not an expert on average restaurant sizes in Turkey but this is one of the biggest restaurants I've ever seen. It has like 5 levels and is decorated impeccably. Impeccable as a synonym for weird. We were kindly seated in this, I'm not joking, like library on the roof. I literally took panoramic snapchats with the caption "this is literally where we are eating dinner". We sat on the couch in the library and the food was placed on a coffee-table like structure in front of us. We went with hookah of course, because 6 hours of hookah prior to our arrival was clearly inadequate. The staff were impressively attentive to our coals and came to check up on them every 30 min or so. If you know us, it won't be surprising that we literally ordered the entire menu. We got boreka-like spinach and cheese SPRING ROLLS (wtf?), spinach and cheese pastry thing, hummus (OBVIOUSLY), zucchini fritters, meat-ravioli in a cream sauce, and pita bread (OBVIOUSLY). Everything was absolutely spectacular. We ate way more food than is probably recommended for health/safety reasons but it was worth it. The staff was absolutely incredible with how much attention they gave us. Because we were off in a colony on mars practically, we had no idea that the restaurant had pretty much closed down in the floors below. This abruptly came to my attention when I drunkenly attempted to search for the bathroom. Our waiter additionally went out of his way to flag our cab down on our way out. Amazing hospitality in this place. Anyways, this was honestly one of my best experiences in a restaurant to date. Highly recommend.

Cute store with different levels but their balcony level was absolutley beautiful. Considering us being in a tourist place, the dessert was not expensive. It was about $10 for each of us.

We also order a kunafe small stray and it came with the most delicious goat ice cream, they are to died for! Service was quick and friendly.

That was probably my favorite. It's a great mix of meat and veggies with a fiery aesthetic. The service was wonderful. It was just really hot. We visited in September, and like most places in Turkey, there's only fans and no AC which didn't help because the platter came with literal fire so it was blowing hot air. We happened to pass by this place, and we were pleasantly surprised. Definitely stop by if you're in the area.

Six types of kebabs (chicken, lamb and beef) plus roasted vegetable on lavash bread on a flaming platter sized to fit the number of people you order for. The patlican kebab (eggplant kebab) and lamb ribs were particularly tasty.

It cost 11 TL before tips for one serving, which was more than enough for two of us to share after a duvet nearby. They do have Wi-Fi here. There was no wait on a Saturday at 7.30 pm. They had a few customers; it's a small place, but it wasn't busy. There was one server and he was very friendly, but our dessert took quite a while to come out. A group that sat down after us got their desserts first, but we got ours right after. The kunefe was warm, had this stringy stretchy cheese, and the contrast with the cold ice cream was great. The honey syrup it was all sitting on was tasty, and the crunchy top was just right. See my photo! There's Wi-Fi, but no restrooms.
