Restaurant Cafe Bar

😠 So many fake reviews on for this restaurant... I'm assuming they're paying for fake reviews somehow, who knows. It's a pretty average restaurant but with high prices. Have a look through the recent reviews and you'll see that they're all 5 star for everything, no variations. The food is pretty basic... People often mention service, restaurant, delicious, recommend, staff, nice, amazing, good, great, reviews,

    Me and my friend discovered this amazing restaurant yesterday and today we had breakfast and dinner here. The food and hospitality was very good. I really enjoyed and the staff was very nice. We got free turkish tea, delicious. The best thing is that they dont force you like The other restaurants in Istanbul to eat there. Really recommend this restaurant and might go back tomorrow :)

    So many fake reviews on for this restaurant... I'm assuming they're paying for fake reviews somehow, who knows. It's a pretty average restaurant but with high prices. Have a look through the recent reviews and you'll see that they're all 5 star for everything, no variations. The food is pretty basic frozen and reheated food without much taste, service is adequate at best, price is high end for this area. Sadly they will probably keep faking their reviews and people will keep coming hoping for something special. It's such a shame as good Turkish food is so great, but this will leave you thinking Turkish food is bland, if a bit too salty. Please don't be put off Turkish food because of these fakers. Why can't they either put some effort into their food or if not just accept the 3 star rating they would probably have if they allowed the reviews to be genuine... ah well.

  • 1/5 mehdi a. 1 year ago on Google
    Stay away! I don't understand how this place got all these 5 star reviews, bring at the restaurant/cafe, they all seem fake. The meat is salty and dated, and definitely not worth the value!!! Stay away

  • 5/5 Артём �. 8 months ago on Google
    Thank u so much! Great music and great food! 🥘

  • 5/5 Karol P. 11 months ago on Google
    Great restaurant with delicious food. Akif, our server was absolutely amazing and gave us a proper menu tour in english. Have in mind that this restaurant is quite expensive - around 300-500 TL for a main course. Also they automatically charge you a small amount of 135TL for service. Still, we highly recommend that place.

    Super restaurant and great location for people watching. Very friendly attentive staff, overall reasonably priced for the quality of food. The best lamb chops I’ve had anywhere, would return again for them.

  • 1/5 Taha C. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm tired of this trick that seems to be only happening to tourists: the waiter gives you back missing change when you pay. If you're careful enough and claim it, they would fake a sorry face, if not, you might lose some/a lot of money. What a shame!

  • 5/5 Luis R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an excellent restaurant with delicious turkish food, very clean and friendly atmosphere. Akif was so nice we actually came back 2 days later so we can enjoy the superb service.

  • 5/5 Jekaツ 1 year ago on Google
    Located in the central street which is full of bars, but Babiali made the best impression! Very polite and nice staff, decent prices and a lovely place full of good music. Came back 3 times in a short 1week vacation and would definitely come back on our next trip to Istanbul. 10/10.

    First Turkish coffee tried in this place and it was really good. These small chocolate bones were also fine. I liked the red light inside and lampions with the view to the city. I recommend this place 😊

  • 3/5 Liudmyla 4 years ago on Google
    It is very average place. My food was extremely salty. My husband’s food was better, but still rather too much salt. Service was ok, but nothing special.
