    ** 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 – should've been my first clue. The food? Completely tasteless and ridiculously overpriced. It's beyond me how they're charging so much for such subpar meals. The only thing they got right was having nice hosts, but that's hardly enough to make up for everything else. And about those ratings? It's pretty clear to me they're faked likely posted by the owner to counteract the genuine low ratings (look at all good reviews that are from newly created accounts) I'm not just going to sit back. I'm determined to do everything in my power to get Google to remove these fake reviews. People need to know the truth about this place.

    We found the restaurant through AI recommendations, we looked at the reviews and thought it was worth a try. The food is amazing! We ordered a lot for 2 people. My husband also had his shisha pot. The owner & staffs are nice and helpful. We spent around €55 and we ate like a king! An absolute enjoyable night for us.

    We came to this place for a lovely dinner, the restaurant looks very exotic from outside, with interesting decor and seating (and the lovely street cats nearby). We felt very welcomed to this place from the moment we stepped our foot in. The staff was very attentive. We received a number of complementary food items (bread, lentil soup, baklava and tea). Service was very quick. We chose the pottery casserole which came with a little show! It was lovely to see the food being served. Prices were very reasonable. Would recommend!

    Despite the great reviews we read for this place, we found the food to be average. There was nothing distinctive or particularly memorable about the dishes. It is just ok food.

  • 4/5 Lyndon B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food to be honest could be better I would give it a 3/5. Generally kinda bland and compared to the many other options nearby it was not very good. The chicken was quite dry and under seasoned. The fries served on the side were extremely under seasoned and needed salt However, the service was a 5/5. The waiters were very patient, fun, and kind. The pottery meat with the little fire show they put on was interesting and was fun to watch.

    Amazing food! Very kind and nice service! A chill atmosphere.. for an area that is very touristy it was a great choice! We spent $35 for a complete dinner for 2. We ordered a Adana Kebap and a Lamb in Casserole. Portions where great! They also bring you a complementary lentil soup with bread to start, and a dessert with tea at the end.

    Last ottoman was great. And yes i was talking about the restaurant. Sorry for the lame one. The food was delicious and freshly cooked. You can see the chef cooking some of the food infront of you. Not particularly a hibachi style. But the food was great. Highly recommended

    After 4 days looking for good restaurant in this big city finally founded one in hidden street on great location. This crew is very friendly and they honestly trying to make the best for visitors. They don't sell cheap jokes to get you inside. Very good soup, very good chicken and desert with cold watermelon and baklava was very tasty. Oh, and lemonade was very very nice, cold served and full of taste. Great job guys, all recommendations, definitely coming back again😋👍

    We visited this place for lunch after our visit to Topkapi Palace. This place lived up-to its review. The service was just too good. they served us soup, Turkish Cay, Baklava as complimentary dishes. Our dishes also tasted pretty good. The environment was welcoming and staff was really nice. It was a great treat.

    the food options were great. With the appetizer plate you can try 8 different Turkish appetizers. The Adnan kebab was very delicious. Stuff 100% friendly and kind. One of us didn’t like the food choice and the waiter wrote it off the note. Very kind

    Came here for a quick solo dinner and I’m very happy with my experience. Firstly, I’m vegetarian and this cafe had several options for me. Secondly, the staff were so warm and friendly! Furthermore, I got complimentary soup, bread, and dessert without even asking for them. Finally, the food was amazing. I ordered the vegetable casserole and it was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the place!

    This place is a MUST visit. I cannot say enough good things about it. When you are walking to it, it may seem a little out of the way, but don’t let that deter you from going. Their menu has many wonderful options and the prices are fabulous. Service is top notch, and the food is spectacular as well. The entrées we ordered came with an artful presentation and were bursting with flavor from the first bite to the last. We also received complementary bread, lentil soup, baklava and tea with our meal (which were all amazing). When we left, the manager came to ask us “Is everybody happy?” And we let him know with laughter and smiles that we really were. This meal made our day in Istanbul that much more special. Last Ottoman will not disappoint!

    I can’t say enough great things about this restaurant. The food, the staff, the atmosphere where all AMAZING! And the prices were very affordable. The staff makes you feel so welcomed and truly care about how your experience is. The food is authentic Turkish cuisine. The çay is the best in Istanbul - and we had it in many places. We ate dinner there 3 times. I highly recommend.

    Great restaurant with great service. We went here because it was close to our hotel and saw the good reviews on google. We got a very nice table at the upper floor and the guys there were super friendly and helpful. I had the best beer in the city here, probably because of the cold pot in which the beer came.

    Amazing service! It was our first restaurant we visited in Istanbul. Melik went over and beyond, he gave us complementary starters and desert. He was interested in where we came from and was willing to answer any questions we had about Istanbul. We ordered the mixed grill for 4 people, very tasty and big, portion was so big we couldn't finish it. Thank you Melik and team for such a warm and welcoming experience 😊

  • 5/5 Jasmine Y. 4 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    I decided to visit this place after reading good reviews about it on Google. It was surprisingly empty, maybe cause it was around 2pm+. Anyway, I sat down and was given the menu. Ordered soup of the day which was lentil soup and the Shepherd's Roasted. Ordered a Turkish tea as well. I expected the lentil soup to be bland since, well, it is lentil afterall but boy, was I wrong! It was rich in flavour, a pleasant mix of spices and amazingly yummy! The Shepherd's Roasted took awhile to arrive and it was good too! Flavourful with tender beef, just hits the right spot. The meal ended with another cup of tea and baklava on the house 😁. When it was time to pay, I noticed the bill did not include the soup. When I asked, the staff whom I assume is the manager said it was on the house. Great service from the start, I guess this is the Turkish hospitality. Much recommended to try the food here!

  • 5/5 Anjum A. 2 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    Emra - was our host today, and he made us extremely welcome while we came here to enjoy our dinner. So much so that we had to come here twice. The food was unbelievably tasty, and given the fact I have been to Istanbul several times and always complain that the food is always a bit useless. It was nice to find a place Finally that I really enjoyed both the experience and the food!! The whole experience was amazing, and I think the whole team here at the last Ottoman! We ordered a chicken Iskander and requested that be made with chicken sheesh rather than chicken Donner and they happily accommodated it.

  • 5/5 Daniela C. 8 months ago on Google
    Everything was very tasty! As a free additions we got lentils soup and walnut baklava which were very tasty. Tried chicken skewers and vegetable dish, both are also delicious. Service is very good!

  • 5/5 Dr. Faisal S. 7 months ago on Google
    During our recent trip, we had the pleasure of dining at Last Ottoman Cafe, and it was an outstanding experience. The food was exceptional, and the service, led by Imran, was top-notch. Unlike other places that focused on profits, the staff here genuinely cared about our satisfaction. They helped us select the right dishes, even treating us to complimentary soup and dessert. It is a true gem that not only offers delicious food but also ensures a memorable and hospitable dining experience.

    Delicious jar 🏺 meat , tender and juicy, perfect in every way , and the rosemary infused with the meat , you didnt know there was something missing tell the rosemary came .

  • 5/5 Caroline O. 8 months ago on Google
    We ate here two nights in a row it was so good. Burhan (I hope I'm spelling that right) served us both night and was very sweet and attentive. They give you bread and soup to start then, after you finish your meal, they give you baklava and tea. I had kebabs both nights that came with pepper, tomato and rice. The grilled halloumi cheese and hummis were great. It was all delicious! It's a nice atmosphere as well with shaded outdoor seating as well as indoor. I highly recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Teani T. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for lunch last week before flying home from Istanbul after a long weekend. Was surprised with an additional lentil soup which was super tasty. Family run restaurant with amazing flavours and friendly staff (shout out to Burhan, Melik, Emrah and Bekir for your great service!) - highly recommend a visit :)

  • 5/5 Margit K. 10 months ago on Google

  • 4/5 Kenneth L. 11 months ago on Google
    We had our first ever pottery kebab at the Last Ottoman. There was a kind of ritual before the dish was served - the clay pot was placed on fire and blazed in front of us, and the waiter cracked the pot and emptied the content onto a hot pan. Surely it was fun to watch and the food itself was nice. Though I had tried the same dish in other restaurants and did some research later on, knowing the one we had here probably not made in an authentic way, it tasted fine anyway. And the starter (fried borek) and desserts we had were just alright. The food itself probably worths 3.5 out of 5, nevertheless people here were very friendly and accommodating, that explains the 4.

  • 5/5 Emilio F. 5 months ago on Google
    Lovely place for good food and atmosphere in Istanbul! The food was very tasty and the service was superb. Great presentation and the waiters were very friendly and sociable. Got complementary soup & bread while waiting for my main course, free refills on delicious tea and complementary baklava as dessert. Will eat here again when I return to Istanbul for sure!

  • 5/5 Ricardo R. 5 months ago on Google
    Everything perfect!!! Food with an amazing taste. Waiters very friendly and respectful. Good atmosphere. They presented a free soup and a dessert from the chef as a special attention. The best place to spend a good moment and enjoy the best food.

  • 5/5 Laura M. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious restaurant with very friendly waiters, which I would recommend for a nice meal. We were served a complimentary spicy soup and at the end some chai tea and typical sweets. As it was my husband's birthday, I have asked one waiter to prepare a cake with candles. Even if he didn't have it, he went out to buy one piece, put candles on it and all waiters came to wish him happy birthday. The personnel and the nice food, as well as the ambience, made our evening very special.

    Authentic place with nice interior and delicious food. Order there their special (food in a pot) and you’ll get the whole fire show and the meat will be tasty and soooo soft ☺️ Also I recommend to check Turkish beer, Efes. Okay, what more to say, there’s a fireplace in the middle of the place, so just go and see by yourself;)

    We visited them two times during our stay in Istanbul and that should say how happy we were there. The food is of the highest quality and the staff are super friendly and kind. Would recommend it very highly and wish the best for them.

  • 5/5 Kevin J. 2 years ago on Google
    I can't recommend Last Ottoman enough! The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and welcoming. The cafe is designed perfectly for an Instagram friendly meal and their food was even better than they look in pictures. Our waiter, Burhan, was incredibly friendly and made us feel at home our entire stay. We ended up staying longer than expected because of how kind they were to us. Definitely don't skip out on this cafe !

  • 5/5 Daniel F. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Elitsa M. 1 year ago on Google
    We were the first in for lunch, quick and attentive service, kind & welcoming staff almost immediately brought us lentil soup on the house; food came fast, hot and delicious! We got the kebab platter for two- tender, flavourful and plenty to eat! Everything was taken care of , they even gave us free tea and baklava!

  • 5/5 Mehak C. 1 year ago on Google
    Had one of the best authentic meals here. The service and food was impeccable. We went with the Turkish take on salsa which came with fresh bread. The fire roasted tomatoes and chili’s gave this dish the perfect zing. The lamb casserole was cooked to perfection. The broth was flavorful and the meat was succulent. It came with a potion of rice. Our server was Emrah who was very courteous. He gave us complimentary baklava, tea and coffee and kept insisting on us taking a second helping as well. Truly a wonderful find!

  • 5/5 A Z. 1 year ago on Google
    What can I say, food is excellent, very generous portions. Amazing hospitality, lots of free stuff such as soup, tea, sweets and fruit. Highly recommended Ali was very friendly and polite. All the staff very friendly and smiling. We loved it.

    Great place. Staff are so lovely and friendly. Food was decent and while on the more expensive side wasn’t too pricey. Love the complementary tea and baklava! Worth visiting!
