Honestly, to feed the whole group, you only need to order two Turkish breakfasts because there is SO MUCH food. Seating was quick with very friendly service. Restaurant stretches two building, bathroom is downstairs and clean. A few outside seat options ideal for smokers. Lots of locals with a few tourists too. Accepts credit cards. As mentioned, it's a lot of food. Standouts included the menemen, lightly fried balls of dough enjoyed with fresh honey, yogurt, and strawberry jam, cheeses, olives, and dips. Honestly everything. Probably one of the two best Turkish breakfast I've ever had. Definitely enjoy Turkish tea with your meal. The easiest path to enjoy here is to simply get the set and try some of everything. Experiment and find what flavors you like!

This adorable little joint is sheer perfection, we did two Michelins while we were in Istanbul and I still think about this place and remember it more than my Michelin experiences. It's so simple yet so unique and perfect at the same time. The breakfast spread is one of the most memorable I've ever had, though simple and straight forward, the Turks truly know how to do an incredible breakfast that's better than the rest of the world. If you're in Istanbul, come to this place, the walk up to the joint is lovely, you get to see such a special little part of Istanbul and the food experience is something you'll remember for a lifetime. The service is top notch and the ambiance is adorable, facing the cute little street outside. The meal starts with tea and the spread is truly incredible. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE!!

We had a bit of an issue where where someone from our group left their phone in the taxi. We needed help translating over the phone and also making phone calls and getting camera recording to find the car number and whatnot, and I'll stop at the restaurant were more than happy to help us. As for the food, everything is delicious! My favorite was the Biberli ekmek (flat thread with spicy cheese on top). That flat bread was phenomenal! Good amount of spicy cheese on top and something you could just have on repeat. Classic Turkish breakfast was also yum. Number of items was impressive! I think even a portion for 2 is enough for 3 or 4 people if you get another item outside of the Turkish breakfast. It comes with a mix of sweet and savory items so you have a whole meal there with dessert included. The main highlights here were the pumpkin item, the red pepper hummus, classic hummus, carrot jam. Traditionally suchukn sausage was also delicious. Dad loved the Muhammara. One thing though is that they put a lot of oil on top of every items so if you want to avoid that maybe ask them to avoid putting oil on things like hummus and the yogurt which don't already have oil inside it. I highly recommend combining multiple dips together in one bite along with the flatbread. really takes it to another level. Almost home items were really good except the cheeses. The string type of cheese and the other soft cheese were very very salty. The flatbread that came on the side was also unbelievably soft! The best part about that was the zatar that they gave along with the flatbread. That zatar was so nice I could eat it on its own. We even asked for a little container to take the extras back with us. Spicy sausage and cheese Menemen was a nice surprise. It was basically scrambled eggs with the spicy sausage and cheese inside the tomato sauce. Family tried the potato stuffed flatbread (gozleme) and I think they really enjoyed it because they wiped that entire plate out.
