👍👍 Best food in Turkey 100%. With everyone one calling at you while walking it’s hard to navigate the streets. But I’m so thankful we were ushered to Ararat because the food, drinks, service and ambiance were the best I’ve had in my travels around Turkey. Their chicken with pistachio and cream was sooo...

👍👍 Best service and nicest food in Istanbul. Our server - Mohammed - was absolutely lovely. We had no reservation and came here after reading positive reviews about the vegetarian food. I am vegetarian, my husband is not. And I’ve mostly lived on crisps and cookies for our 10 day tour of Turkey! Resto...

👍👍 If there is 6☆ I would give them. We stay in Istanbul for 5 days and visited a few best restaurants, but Fülane is by far most fantastic. We ordered Chateaubriand and is was extra good. Everything was perfect, the show of preparation, softness, taste and quality of the meat. We had really privilege...

👍👍 Best restaurant so far in our Istanbul trip!! The food was amazing (pastas were delicious and the steak and lamb chops were INCREDIBLE), the view facing Sophia Mosque was wonderful but more importantly the chef and staff were the most attentive and kind people we’ve had in a long time. Can’t definit...

😐 My partner and I decided to go to the shadow kitchen after reading great reviews. Unfortunately, my experience has contradicted with the reviews on a couple of elements. 1) Many people have mentioned that price was good, but this hasn't been the case for us. I would say it is on par with majority o...

👍👍 Ehli Keyf Kafe.... It is a fabulous cafe where you can sit and relax while enjoying your food. The food is absolutely amazing, the meal that they provide is properly cooked and seasoned properly too. The hospitality of this cafe is top notch and you will not be able to get this in any other cafe. Eh...

👍👍 We loved it so much that we ate there 3 times while my family visited Istanbul! The staff was kind, family-friendly, and fun. They had a delicious fruit platter, wonderful options for children, and lots of outdoor seating in a beautiful setting. We liked sitting outside and watching the dub go down...

👍👍 Amazing place with very good food (meat was absolutely delicious), I highly recommend kebab and döner. The service was excellent, attentive, helpful and friendly. The staff speaks many languages, so it was really easy to order and have a few jokes here and there. We also had hookah (the hookah chef...

👍👍 Beautiful place amazing views of the Blue Mosque and the sea. This place is big has 2 floors one indoors and outdoors. The service was lovely the prices are medium high…. They have table service, beautiful blankets and table lamps. They have an elevator taking you to the top floor for the last part...

👍👍 Had a great evening with the family here. Food is amazing, service great & the atmosphere and decoration of the restaurant is very well chosen! Definitely a great place to go when in Istanbul. Special thx to Cinar for the nice food recommendations!

👍👍 The best breakfast experience ever! Worth every penny! I’d definitely come back here over and over again. Special thanks to Mr. Adem and Ms. Fatma for the amazing services they offered.

👍 Absolutely gorgeous spot to enjoy the views and especially sunset. The service was great at the beginning though lessened as the night went on. Not sure if they were tired or just disinterested? Literally at our side for the first 45 minutes and then had to beg for the complimentary fruit and tea at...

👍👍 The view from upstairs is staggering and was quite unexpected. Service was exceptional and the food great. Prices were reasonable too. Will definitely be bringing friends back here when we visit.

👍👍 What a wonderful place! Our second home in Istanbul. The people are so welcoming and kind. They have many food and drink options for all to enjoy. In the day - classic music fills the air and by night the ambiance and vibe music makes this the place to be!
