My friend Lily came to visit Istanbul and all she wanted was kunefe, kunefe, kunefe! Luckily we…read morefound this one soooo close to my house, and the best part is that they deliver! I had never tried kunefe before so I don't have much to compare it to, but I think that it is perfectly delicious and affordable. A single portion is enough for two people to split, and its cheesy innards will have you craving more for days. Ekol is a chain, so feel free to find one closer to you. As for this one, I can say I would recommend it!

I know this place offers real dessert that you could eat only in Anatolia. that's why Kunefis is one of the best ones to taste Turkish desserts. I haven't eaten foods there but special künefe. It is super uber delicious and fresh and gives the real taste. The service is also so kind and polite. The prices are just average. you'll not regret!

The waiter was pretty fast with taking my order and bring the food to the table and it helps that he was able to speak good enough English. He even helped with recommending me some food and drinks, which he did a good job with the except of the frozen Kiwi Smoothie, which I would steer you away from. The dessert I had was pretty good, can't remember name right now but it was 2 brownies with a scoop of ice cream in the middle of them. TRY IT! Overall I had a good experience at this place and I will be back shortly, I forgot to say but they do have a few TVs in the restaurant if you want to watch sports or news, they will change for you if you request.

For the price, OK for Etiler but definetely not worth it. And drinks were not extraordinary just casuals. For the food, THEY HAVE PUT KETCHUP TO THE BOTH SIDES OF THE HAMBURGER WOUT ASKING. Just lazy cooks and literally bad food. Do not go there just go somewhere else.

First things first it's too expensive, 3 people X (1 coffee + 1 dessert) = 90 lira. The coffee,…read morethanks to being Meinl, is wonderful, the interior, location, atmosphere, likewise. Desserts are meh. HOWEVER the staff I think collectively suffer from what one might call the "french exchange student syndrome", whereas when somebody goes to France for a semester, they adopt the french attitute to life. Meaning that they gracefully "allow" you to sit at their cafe and have the higest honour imaginable of tasting their coffee. They aren't necessarily rude, they're simply indifferent, in modern terms, they can't even. So yes, if you want to be treated like a Syrian refugee by all means, Karabatak is the perfect place. However, 3rd wave cafés popping up like Kanye at an awards show, hopefully Blackswamps iron rule (I mean the name is a dead giveaway) might come to an end soon. LONG LIVE AFFORABLE CAFÉS WITH GOOD COFFEE!!
