    Delicious food and great vibe. Osman and his staff went out of their way to make my family feel comfortable. No attitude, no awkwardness, no change in personality once we ordered. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Istanbul. I’ve noticed a lot of people stopped being nice once they’ve got you sat in their restaurant,m and ordered but this wasn’t the case with everyone from Mitani. FYI, the mushroom soup was banging. And I don’t even like mushroom soup. 😄

    What an awesome place to smoke hookah, eat amazing food and meet great people. Osman is such a great host. He'll make you feel right at home. We came on our first night in Istanbul, and came back almost every other night during the rest of our trip. We'd absolutely recommend this place! You won't regret it!

    We enjoyed this spot. Very friendly staff. VERY comfortable seating. We were tired, a bit jet lagged, so we just ordered the mixed appetizer plate and a Greek salad, with bottled water. There was a lot of good things in the salad, the appetizer tray had a good mix

    The personnel is SO fun and SO carring. They are also very attractive with the customers: they are doing bubbles with the narghuil fumee.😍 So the only thing that you should remember is than you came here the night and you're sure to pass a great night!

    I came here my first night in Istanbul and came back every night after. There was live music that was outstanding. The owners were so kind. I had some of the best nights of my life here. Also the street that it is located on is very lively, but this was easily the best bar on the whole street. If you are in Istanbul you MUST come here.

  • 1/5 Elefteriq D. 1 year ago on Google
    Possibly the worst restaurant we’ve visited for 7 years in Istanbul. The meat was smelling really bad, it had bad taste and it was really old. The food was definitely not fresh and made in the same day. Really disappointed. We were left hungry and we paid a lot for that. Do not recommend. P.s. the service was very slow.

    Everything was more than perfect! The food is amazing and the hosts are very welcoming.

Totally recommend this place

  • 5/5 Alexey V. 9 months ago on Google
    I recently visited this bar and I just can't help but share my admiration. It was a truly impressive experience from start to finish! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with smiles and cordiality from the staff. The waiters were very attentive and caring, always ready to help and answer any questions I had. The atmosphere in the bar was just amazing. The cozy and stylish interior created the perfect setting for relaxed meetings with friends or romantic dates. Soft lighting and background music created a pleasant atmosphere that allowed you to enjoy the evening and conversation without the fuss and noise. But the most important thing is, of course, drinks and snacks. The menu was varied and every choice I made was a real masterpiece! The bartenders are clearly professionals. They prepared cocktails with such skill and passion that every sip was a real pleasure. And the appetizers we ordered were amazingly delicious and served in style. I can't help but note that the prices at this bar were quite reasonable, especially given the quality and experience I had. I felt at home, but at the same time enjoyed the luxury and comfort. All in all, this bar is a real find! I recommend it without a doubt to anyone who wants to spend a pleasant evening in a cozy atmosphere, enjoying delicious drinks and delicious snacks. I will definitely come back here again and again! Thank you to all the staff for such a wonderful experience and an unforgettable evening! I wish you all the best and continue to delight your guests with the same high level of service and quality!

    Nice place. Very hospitable communicative stuff, music is good but not very loud. Perfect for drinking some beer after visiting Sultanahmet. You can have dinner too.

  • 5/5 Richard S. 7 months ago on Google
    Just returned from an 8 day trip to Istanbul, ate here a few times. Great food, very friendly staff and good atmosphere, nice setting, no additional taxes or service charges added to the bill which seems to have started happening to some places in Turkey. Would definitely recommend, will be back for another visit next year hopefully.

    (Translated by Google) The place is incredibly atmospheric. We were in the winter and sat in the academic part of the restaurant and it was quite warm. The waiters are very polite and suggest really tasty dishes. For example, we were offered a dish called Alexandrian kebab (Iskander). We thought, well, they’ll bring it now, which is more expensive and simpler, but no! The dish turned out to be very tender and tasty. We also had a hookah, the coals of which were changed more often in the vast majority of Moscow hookahs. By the way, a hookah costs 500 rubles, unlike again from the capital. The institution was extremely pleased. We will definitely come here in the future. If you read this review and you want to eat, go to this restaurant, you will not regret it. (Original) Место невероятно атмосферное. Мы были зимой и сидели в учичной части ресторана и было вполне тепло. Официанты весьма вежливы и подсказывают реально вкусные блюда. Нам, например, предложили блюдо под названием Александрийский кебаб (искандер). Подумали, ну сейчас принесут, что подороже и попроще, но нет! Блюдо оказалось очень нежным и вкусным. Так же у нас был кальян, угли к которому меняли чаще в подавляющем болтшенстве московских кальянных. К слову, кальян стоит по 500 рублей, в отличие опять таки от столицы. Заведение остались крайне довольны. Определённо придём сюда ещё в будущем. Если вы прочитали этот отзыв и вы хотите вкусно поесть, заходите в этот ресторан, не пожалеете.
