It's one of the best Aegean/Turkish restaurant in town. Not such big one, but clean and well ambianced. Chef Ahmet Yagdoken and his friends make an excellent job. They cook local meals using seasonal foods and with more modern approaches. Must visit. Masterchef also lead (time to time) local-gourmet-tours inside Kemeralti shopping area.

It is a very nice place kind of hidden and a side street. Many fresh options on beautiful tasting food. One thing you must know, you need to be seated and they will call you inside to order your food.

Top quality Aegean / Turkish dishes in lokanta format made and prepared with love, dedication and health. Will definitely come back in future to sample other dishes

I do not know who was writing reviews for this place but i do know that they have no taste or knowledge about Turkish food.... They do not have proper display and they heat up the foods in the microwave... No hygiene whatsoever.... I do not recommend..

Atmosphere and foods are wonderful. I suggest all people to go there and taste each food from the days menu. Guaranteed that you will love all of them. Balmumu is the one of the unique restaurant in TURKEY 🇹🇷 that give you a chance to eat real Turkish food with a real taste. Overall each food which they are cooking is delicious 😋

Legendary... Owned and run by well known artisan gourmet, Ahmet Guzelyagdoken, this cozy Alsancak shop has very high quality meat, cheese, charcuterie items, olive oils and olive oil pouched seasonal vegetables that varies daily depending on whats on market. To understand the soul, you must visit here and embrace whats for dinner.

Great food, authentic cuisine, rich in flavor, and very helpful and kind staff. They don’t have a menu you go and pick from the available meals. It’s highly recommended if you are looking for high quality authentic food. Don’t forget do finish it up with a cup of tea!

The food was good. It was a pleasure meeting chef Ahmet who’s a great cook! The prices are high and portions are small.

Delicious and fresh homemade "mezes"! Small but very cozy and very nice decorated restaurant! Thank you for everything Ahmet Güzelyağdöken
