Saltanat
BBQ
House,
still
miss
you.
I
stumbled
upon
this
restaurant
through
Trip
Advisor
while
on
a
vacation
to
Turkey,
the
primary
reason
of
going
here
was
that
it
was
so
close
to
our
hotel
and
my
wife
and
I
were
tired
from
walking
all
day.
When
we
reached
the
restaurant,
I
thought
"Why
is
it
so
highly
rated
and
empty?"
but
I
was
happy
with
the
quiet
environment
as
we
needed
it.
The
restaurant
has
both
outdoor
and
indoor
seatings,
we
preferred
to
sit
inside
since
it
was
more
cozy
and
somehow
felt
romantic
-
for
a
restaurant
that
offers
Shisha,
that
was
amazing!
The
staff
are
very
friendly
and
will
gossip
with
you
if
you're
the
talkative
type.
The
menu
offers
a
vast
selection
of
Kebabs,
Ottoman
specials
etc.
We
didn't
dig
deeper
into
the
menu
as
our
focus
was
one
thing
alone
-
to
try
Kebabs
&
Chicken.
We
ordered
the
Doner
Kebap
and
Sheesh
Tawouk,
for
refreshments
we
went
for
the
Lemonade
(which
I'll
get
into
soon).
After
placing
the
order,
the
staff
brought
us
complimentary
Hummus
(which
was
AWESOME).
The
order
itself
took
some
time
to
arrive
but
when
it
did
my
only
reaction
was
"Wow".
The
presentation
of
the
food
is
amazing,
there
were
wedges,
salad,
a
nice
ball
of
rice,
kebaps
and
dipping
sauces.
But
was
the
taste
as
good
as
the
presentation?
Even
better!
We
loved
the
food
so
much
that
we
returned
for
the
next
3
nights
till
the
end
of
our
trip.
Ok
so
I
wanted
to
dedicate
this
section
to
the
Lemonade,
I've
drank
many
different
kinds
of
Lemonades
over
the
years
in
Bahrain
and
some
have
been
godly
while
others
not
so,
but
the
Lemonade
at
Saltanat
was
beyond
comparison.
It's
probably
the
best
one
I've
ever
drank
in
my
whole
life,
I
still
miss
it
dearly.
The
following
days
we
tried
various
other
dishes
like
the
Ottoman
special
chicken
casserole
which
was
truly
unique
and
delicious.
We
had
the
habit
of
ordering
Apple
Tea
after
dinner
at
the
restaurant
but
on
our
last
night
we
didn't
order
it.
However,
to
our
surprise
the
staff
brought
us
the
Apple
Tea
for
free
that
night!
It
was
really
a
special
feeling
and
truly
showed
how
loving/caring
Turkish
people
can
be.
As
always,
we
gave
extra
tips
and
were
on
our
way.
It's
not
the
Hagia
Sophia's,
Hippodrome's,
Topkapi's
etc
that'll
bring
us
back
to
Sultanahmet,
if
we
ever
visit
Turkey
again,
but
the
sole
reason
will
be
Saltanat
BBQ
House.
Even
as
of
typing
this
review
I
feel
sad,
sad
because
I
won't
be
able
to
just
get
up
one
evening
and
go
for
dinner
at
this
restaurant.
I
miss
the
food,
the
ambiance
and
the
friendly
staff.
