Hamdi Restaurant - Eminönü
Turkish restaurant
😐 We came for dinner without reservations on a Friday night. It was easy to get in, but the table wasn’t the best. Sit upstairs, it’s nicer. If you make reservations in advance you can sit on the upstairs balcony overlooking the water. The food is good, not great, but good. Very simple. Mainly veal an...

We entered the place and was greeted by the host, we asked to sit near the big windows as it was empty and had no reservation tag but to my shocked we were denied, although few minutes later another couple was all...

👍👍 The oldest shisha/nargile cafe! What an experience and atmosphere.
Very welcoming, they speak basic English. There’s three bars all equivalent so don’t feel as thought you’re missing out.
All priced the same and great shisha (65 lira) So you can’t go wrong for £4ish all in depending on how many te...

Sefa-i Hürrem Cafe & Restaurant
Restaurant
😠 a tourist trap place. The worst Turkish breakfast. Simit was dry, sausage from a can, bal kaimak looked and tasted old. If you come here for a view, just do not opt for Turkish breakfast. Oh and they charge 100 lira for services.

Vamos Estambul Restaurant & Cafe
Restaurant
😠 Big tourist trap! I only looked at the Google review ratings but it were probably fake reviews. Even the man at the entrance who lured us in was bragging about their Google reviews (🚩🚩🚩).
The food was bad, my shish kebab was really dry. Also the adana kebab was just below average and dry. All tha...

😠 ** High Ratings are FAKE** **Visit at your own risk**
Heads up, everyone – don't get fooled by the high ratings. It's a total sham. I visited the place, expecting something great because of its Google ratings. But what a letdown! The place was practically empty, and the kitchen looked like a mess –...
