Not being hassled outside. A pleasant courteous gentlemen allowed us to look at the menu without interruption and when he did speak he talked about the weather, not how fantastic the kebabs were. The ambience and service and of course the food were all good, thank you

This was recommended to us by expats living in Istanbul. Great service, very friendly. Romantic and charming. Prices the same as the dingy-looking places but the food was excellent.

The food was really good and inexpensive. ~ Meze, 1 or 2 courses, 2 drinks and tea were about £20 a head. It was full every time we visited and people... More
