    Amazing food. Vegetarian options as well. Everyone loved what they got. Hospitality by Veysel was top notch. 10/10 recommend coming and trying this cozy cute restaurant. Baklava was some of the best we had.

    THE BEST TURKEY RESTAURANT IN ISTANBUL. Very humble and family owned Restaurant. They give you more food than we ordered, and tea and desserts were free and so delicious. The owner Mr Veysel is THE BEST AND THE MOST HUMBLE PERSON. They are not doing it for the money; but for the passion of making EXTREMELY good food and making the customers extremely happy. I am from Los Angeles, California, USA. AND WHEN I COME TO ISTANBUL THE NEXT TIME, I WILL USUALLY COME HERE MANY TIMES MORE.

    Food to remember. They had the best baclava I have tried so far in Turkey. The place is small but very cosy, nice staff, and 2 lovely cats Fernando and Jessica😉 Give it a go if nearby!

    Wow such a good food, great appetizers, not to jump into every branch? It focuses on a short and clear menu. Therefore, Masters and Experts are really happy with the meals you have eaten... if you looking good food and good a place; honestly If you come to Istanbul, you should definitely go there...

    I was looking for a new place to try here in Istanbul, and after some quick searches I found this place and decided to give it a try. Must say it exceeded my expectations! The staff was very friendly and made me feel at home, and our host was very friendly, as he even gave us some appetizers for free. The food was really fresh and tasted perfect, and the baklava with tea that was given to us on the house (yet again!) was the best baklava i’ve tried in Istanbul, hands down. It’s a shame to see how coronavirus has affected small businesses such as this one. Definitely would recommend this place for anyone in Istanbul, you won’t be disappointed!

    You should definitely go to this restaurant when you come to Istanbul. The food is super, the staff is great, the employees are very honest and the portion of their food is very big I really recommend to everyone. It is a very honest place, the food is fresh and very tasty... Super in the chat, I was really very impressed by the conversation and the conversation made me very happy, so they explained all kinds of issues and gave us information about Istanbul. Where can we go? They really pay attention to advice. Thank you very much for the advice. Not only food is sold here. This is the only Restaurant This is also the place where you are given information about Istanbul on all kinds of subjects. They say what to do. They say where you have to go. These are very important, we don't just want to eat at the Restaurant. We want to have a chat. We want to get to know people and therefore I definitely recommend this place to everyone... And about This Place Let me give you a really complete family, so the staff is a complete family, they look at you like a family eye. You know the people here for 5 or 6 years. They are so warm that there is a warm welcome that I can't tell you, you have to come and try it, come and see it. Very sincere People's... If we come to Istanbul, we will definitely come here and come again... Thank you for everything. I recommend you never compromise our quality. Always cook good food and you will always win... well done..

    It's a very nice restaurant. We ordered beef and a seafood pasta. The beef kebab is very tender and tasty. The pasta is full of favor. And we end with a delicious Baklava. It was our first day in Istanbul, and this definitely gave us a good start for our trip. Specially, the cutest cat Jessica is the star there. Recommend for any kitty lover.

    We went here with my friends 5 days ago The food was very nice, the service was very nice especially The food was very fresh, the service was very nice They offered baklava after the meal They offered tea I recommend it to everyone I'm here This is a typical family place... The prices appeal to everyone, very affordable, but there were not many tourists in Istanbul, Istanbul was empty, many restaurants were closed, and I recommend everyone who thinks to close here, a great place... They really take care of you here. This place doesn't just sell food. This is not just a restaurant, this is a clean family vest food. They take care of everyone. They try to make everyone happy. Most importantly, they are honest. Because they are honest, people always come here and leave happy. And they have amazing food which is so important for us... Thanks again for everything. If we came back to Istanbul, we will definitely come again...

    We had the most amazing night and dinner. The hospitality and kindness of those who run and work at this restaurant were unmatched. The food was delicious from start to finish - the bread to start was soft, the main dishes (clay pot and chicken casserole) were a mix of all the best flavors and a little bit of sweet baklava and tea at the end was the perfect way to end the night. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Istanbul - not to be missed.

Overall - i am definitely coming back soon.

Portions are large and a salad with the main course is a very full dinner. (Original) Маленький, затишний і смачний ресторан. Особливої принадливості додає власник, який зустріне вас і привітає будь-якою мовою. Сам винесе страви і допоможе з вибором. Порції великі й салат з основною стравою-це вже дуууже повноцінна вечеря.

    The food was delicious, served in clay on the table. The detail is given by not wanting to accept credit cards despite having signs at the entrance that do accept them. On the other hand, they fought in the kitchen while he was eating there.

    The food was just alright. I went there because I saw that there were a lot of Google reviews on this place. The staff was bored and low on energy. The person who served was proper moody lol and we ordered the clay pot chicken just to see the fire trick but he didn't make any effort.

    We went here twice on our trip to Istanbul. Why? The menu looks like every other place but the family feeling was something else and the food was even better. Small place = great chats. Clay pot was theatrical and fun! Overall a good spot, especially because you’ll feel welcomed and fed with delicious food, and a family touch.

    I went to this amazing restaurant two days back, I randomly bumped into it as any tourist does. But something about it was so appealing that i just sat down. The food 🤤 it was simply 10/10 . The ambience of the place the friendly behavior of the staff till the end when the owner’s cat Jessica was simply chilling right next to me. It was such a welcoming place that it did win my heart. And we all know how amazing turkish tea is ❤️ So in a nutshell I’d say if you’re ever in Istanbul don’t think twice just visit them and you’ll be treated well.

    Hidden delicacy in Istanbul. I was wondering how a restaurant can have almost five stars in Istanbul since most of the restaurants here just want to rip you off. Thankfully they’re not like that. They’re passionate about their food, and they welcomed us in a warm while very comfortable way. It took a bit long for our dishes to come because we were 7, but it’s proven that good food was worth waiting. After dinner you can take a ten minutes walk to the Ayasofya and visit the inside. It’s beautiful at night.

    Istanbul Anatolian Cuisine is a nice restaurant serving traditional Turkish food. It is a bit out of the way from any of the sights in Turkey but the walk is not too bad from the Hagia Sophia area. We started with a Mezze platter that had four different dips and two stuffed grape leaves. The stuffed grape leaves were great, I would have liked maybe one or two more since we were a table of 4. The hummus has a lot of tahini so if you like that then I suggest it, if not then skip it. The best dish we had was the moussaka, the flavors were excellent, it was served nice and hot, and the cheese added a nice touch. The lamb shish was also great, seasoned well and the rice and fries were good. The Döner was okay, not one of the best we have had but it was good wrapped in the bread they give you with the appetizer. We had baklava for dessert and it was good as well, it had lots of pistachio which we like.

    Glad to have discovered this wonderful gem of a restaurant. The evening started off with the restaurant’s cat Jessica sitting at our table - we ended befriending Jessica. Having just flown in from Athens where we tried Moussaka several times during our stay - the waiter suggested we try their moussaka which would be better. He wasn’t wrong. We also ordered haydari and ezme which were great too. Veysel, Jessica and the team are exceptional hosts and they made our evening and dinner wonderful and memorable. Will certainly come back next time we’re in Istanbul and recommend you try this cosy and wonderful restaurant if you want home cooked Turkish cuisine. See you soon Istanbul Anatolian Cuisine.

    A hidden gem in the old part of town. Small, cute, with a good selection of dishes. The food, service, music and atmosphere are fantastic. They have a cat Jessica who is beautiful and cuddly. The host Veysel is a very polite, nice person, funny and a great football connoisseur. Be sure to try the Ottoman musakka.

    It’s Dec 2020, CoVid is hitting hard everywhere but not the spirits of this tucked away joint. My experience end to end was fabulous with the owner’s hospitality taking the cake. I can’t recommend this place enough if you are in the old city and are confused with hundreds of choices.

    Istanbul Anatolian Cuisine is a hidden gem in the Fatih neighborhood. It’s a small, cozy restaurant with delicious food, hospitality and atmosphere that gives you a true local experience. Skip the tourist traps and come here instead for a wonderful meal with amazing flavors and the nicest owner ever!

    A cozy restaurant close to Sultanahmet square; beautiful table clothes with Byzantine patterns cover the tables; the walls are covered with money from different countries and football shirts. The food was delicious (I recommend the clay pot for the taste and ceremony) and the owner was very nice to talk to. His cat Jessica was sehr süss

    Excellent restaurant. Consider booking a table if you are planning to go there during peak hours. Service managed to squeeze us in despite not having a reservation. Food was great with the seafood pasta being a surprise hit. Wasn't expecting a Turkish restaurant to have a pasta dish as a highlight of the meal.

    Unfortunately I didn't like my food too much, it was maybe a bad choice on my part (I ordered the claypot for one) since it had too much vegetables in it and the meat wasn't that tender. On the other hand , my two other friends with me really liked their meal and I did enjoy the evening since the waiter was really great. He had good stories to tell us and did a nice little show with presenting the claypot

    The place is definitely worth visiting despite it is not so cheap. The restaurant is pretty small and cozy. Part of the menu is the similar as at other surrounding places, but taste and service level is much higher. Staff is very friendly and polite. Clay pot performance was great.

    One of the best restaurants I’ve ever visit in my life. The food is indescriptible, I have no words to describe the flavor. Everything is so so good. You should stop there. I’m from Perú and I will fly again 16 hours only to eat in this place one more time. Personal Recommendation: Shrimps casserole with rice. Second choice: Islander Kebab Drink the Apple tea too

    We were warmly greeted and given an appetizer on the house. The chosen dishes were very tasty and the freshly squeezed orange juice made the dinner round. Last but not least we had baklava again on house and a great conversation with the owner of the restaurant. I would recommend anyone to visit the restaurants .

    I found Istanbul Anatolian Cuisine with a friend while we made a quick stopover in Istanbul. We chose it based on the great reviews and were not disappointed! This place is a gem, and our dining experience was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment we stepped in, the warm ambiance made us feel right at home. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was top-notch throughout our visit. The entrees were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. They went above and beyond with the clay pot demonstration. It added a unique touch to our dining experience...it's not every day you get to witness your meal being prepared with such skill and passion. Now, let's talk about the true highlight – Jessica, the resident cat. She added an extra layer of charm to our evening. Adorable and well-mannered, Jessica was sleepy, warm, and sweet. It's not every day you get to enjoy a meal in the company of such a delightful feline friend! In summary, Istanbul Anatolian Cuisine exceeded our expectations. It's a culinary haven where the food, atmosphere, and even the resident cat create an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're a foodie or just looking for a cozy place to enjoy a meal with friends, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. We left with full stomachs, happy hearts, and a new feline friend – what more could you ask for?

    A fantastic dinner. I choose the clay pot. Chicken, but the person at the other table had beef. The presentation was perfect. Our waiter Veysel should be in Hollywood! My husband had fish and it was excellent. Red wine was good. Wish we had this restaurant in California.

    I went to the restaurant because of all the good reviews. I ordered an Adana Kebap. This arrived raw with soggy fries and tasteless salad. The waiter took it away and put it on the grill until it was inedible. I then had to pay for the whole thing even though the waiter said that something like that had never happened before. Last but not least, I was racially insulted and asked to give zero stars, which they wouldn't be interested in anyway. I can only recommend not eating there. The quality is underground.

    A bit touristy, as one expects from Sultanahmet in general though. However, the quiet street where the restaurant is located makes it a very intimate location. Moreover, food and service were of a absolute quality. This also meant a higher price compared to the local standards, but it was definitely worth it! Highly recommended.
