Fabulous evening last night and tonight. Service is great. The food is super too, beers served in fridged cold glasses. We have had a window seat 2 nights in a row...and added bonus we weren't hassled outside to make a choice to come and eat there. The food is very reasonably priced too... better priced than a lot of the nearby competition. We were happy with our choice. Thank you

Awesome location! The place is very cozy and comfortable and the service is amazing. The staff is friendly. It’s perfect for a group of friends, for a family or even alone for a productive work session. The glass wall gives you great vibes.

Decided to try it when we stayed at a hotel around the corner from here, given the area (tourist central) we weren't expecting much. It's our favourite restaurant in the area and we keep going back! The setting is authentic as can be; you can choose from regular tables, couches or beanbags to dine on. There is a hole underneath the restaurant and can be seen through the glass floor. The beer is affordable (when compared to other restaurants in the area), the service is good, the pricing is reasonable and the food is amazing. A must-try if you're in the area.

A very beautiful and relaxing place , best food I ever tried in Istanbul, good services. You can also end a relaxing evening with a good hookah. If you don't believe me, you can convince yourself 😉

Such a great place! Palatium is really an excellent restaurant. We ate here the best food in Istanbul. The service is fabulous and Ghanni is a really shisha master. Because of him the experince was even better anf we came back next day. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are near. The atmosphere is also fantastic and cozy. You cannot miss this.

Highly recommend! We went for a quick bite to a restaurant, but we did not expect to get a show with dinner. The prices are low for the quality of the food and service you get. Everyone was very polite and friendly. Also, we got to see the site underneath restaurant.

Palatium serves typical Turkish cuisine, and, wow, they do it right! I absolutely loved every dish we got here, entrees, drinks, and desserts. The vibes of the restaurant are amazing too, night or day. We visited her 2 diff times, and both times it was perfect. For entrees, we dined the Mix Grill Plate for 2, Iskender Kebab, and Chicken wings w/ hot sauce. Each was hot, seasoned so well, and charred to perfection. If you order the clay pot dishes they come literally fresh out the oven, you can even hear the sizzling of the pot as they put it on your table. I love the food being in the pot because your food stays hot as you eat. For desserts we tried the Rice Pudding, and a Kunefe with Ice Cream. Of course we also had tea. Both desserts were perfect sweetness level, and all of the dishes were a fair price for such an immaculate restaurant. They have inside, outside, and terrace seating. They play nice music, and the ambiance is wonderful.The staff are very nice and quick to take your order. I really love and recommend this restaurant, and wish I could've gone even more. This place is a must when eating in Istanbul.

Excellent terrace - comfortable seats, a great sharing mezze, good wine and a nice selection of shisha to choose from. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service was quick and friendly

This is one of the better restaurants in the tourist area around the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. You can choose between regular tables or sofa tables, of which the latter is more fun. The food is excellent, dominantly delicious kebabs and pides. There are also vegetarian options. While you wait for your meal explore the ancient walls of a Roman palace beneath the restaurant.

Stumbled across this place while wandering the streets this evening. I'm so glad I popped in. Fab food and excellent value. And of course, a traditional Turkish welcome - massive smile and impeccable friendly and professional service. If there wasn't so much choice in Istanbul I'd be back for each of the three evenings I'm in the city.

perfect menu!

(Translated by Google) Great menu. The fish dishes were great. Tasty wine. There is a menu in Russian. Atmospheric. Excavations add color. After lunch, we visited the excavation site and were surprised at the beauty that hides right under the cafe hall. Prices are average, much cheaper than neighboring restaurants. I think for such a place excellent. (Original) Отличное меню.Рыбные блюда были великолепны. Вкусное вино. Есть меню на русском языке . Атмосферно. Раскопки придают колорита. После обеда мы посетили раскопки и удивились, какая красота скрывается прямо под залом кафе. Цены средние, гораздо дешевле соседних ресторанов. Считаю для такого места отлично.

(Translated by Google) Cafe with good service, everything is very cultural, no tune. We ourselves chose him. The husband wanted to smoke a hookah. I drank coffee in Turkish (I liked it very much and the presentation was original), I ate a mix of snacks, I also really liked it. The husband drank beer and kebab in a pot. The location is nice and the prices are reasonable, very nice staff. (Original) Кафе с хорошим обслуживанием, все очень культурно, никаких зазывал. Мы сами его выбрали. Муж хотел покурить кальян. Я пила кофе по-турецки (очень понравилось и подача оригинальная), ела микс закусок, тоже очень понравилось. Муж пил пиво и кебаб в горшочке. Место приятно и цены приемлемые, очень хороший персонал.

Nice view .. awesome vibe .. beautiful setup .. but service is not that good .. hard to find a smiling person inside

Very cozy place for dinner and hookah smoking. The prices are not high, the cuisine is very tasty. Hookah is brought in 2-3 minutes after ordering, the only wish about the hookah is to change the coals more often. The menu is in Turkish and English, the staff speaks good English. Under the restaurant there is an interesting place with excavations, where they are admitted free of charge.

Absolutely recommended for visiting , very cozy place with authentic food, atmosphere and service is great! Those panoramic windows make this place unique 😍

It’s a very nice place with a great atmosphere. I visited it twice and would come again when have my next trip to Istanbul. I recommend it to everyone.

The best food we had in Istanbul 👌 Very cosy and lovely place.

My girlfriend and I had a marvelous late lunch on a terrace. We had salmon, sea bass and lamb chops. Everything arrived sizzling... we enjoyed our food, the view, and attentive service (thanks Ghanni). Definitely a great place to visit.

Palatium is an excellent restaurant. The clay pot lamb dishes are some of the best lamb dishes we have had in Istanbul. The service is quite fabulous and Ghanni is a hookah master. We would highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. The atmosphere is also quite fantastic and cozy. Go and enjoy!

What a great place! We have been walking around this part of the city to try and find a rooftop restaurant, all of the rooftop restaurants was too expensive and fishy service (and menu 😂) so we decided to try another place, we walked in Palatium restaurant and thank god for this! Smiley service, decent prices, AMAZING food and a nice warm and cozy place. Highly recommend the “Tandir” dish - one of the best dishes I have ever ate. Local restaurant, rich menu, great place.

This restaurant has good service, food, and PRICES. The truth is that my husband and I were tired of going to restaurants and seeing the overpriced food. I mean, to be honest, we came here to turkey because is famous for the good prices but when you came to the tourist area they charge you like you are in America. However, this restaurant was different the prices are reasonable not too expensive not too cheap. For example, we got two main dishes one entry ( the chicken dish, lamb chops, and a Meze, and one drink) plus service everything for 26 dollars. I recommend making the waiter repeat your order two times because they get confused and I felt bad when they brought a dish that we did not request but they were kind enough to change it and they did not make us feel bad for their mistake.

An incredible cafe, restaurant, and hookah bar very close to the old city. Good food options, cozy seating with a rooftop spot, see-through glass flooring on the lower level, and a 1000+ year old cave palace below just to get things started. The staff is also very friendly and make sure to accommodate you. Don't forget to go into the subterranean space!

Visited this well designed cafe 3 times and each time they did not disappoint. The food, drinks each time was tasteful and delicious. Tried the Meze plate, shrimp casserole and humus. Atmosphere is welcoming and warm. English speaking waiters help advise on meal advice. Resturant is themed excellently. Make a visit to this reasonable priced Resturant with delicious food WC facilities.

The best and most authentic Turkish dishes I tried here. Just wowed by the service. Even better, you dine above the archeological excavation of the original Crown Palace, covered by reinforced glasses. The ambience was perfect, in walking distance to Hagia Sofia, tucked in the Sultanahmet area. Their Pottery Kebab experience was something you will not want to miss out on. Very popular.

I liked this place so much that I ate here 4 times. Great vibe and great food. Just wish they'd end smoking inside, but that's par for the course in Turkey.

Beautiful space and fun seating with the couches. Food was delicious! We got the chicken shish and the vegetable casserole. The chicken had a nice flavor. There was plenty of vegetarian options which was good for our group.

Brilliant place to eat and drink. Very reasonable prices, great food, good service and a variety of eating choices such as soft chairs, formal tables and a terrace. We ate here every day of our 4 night stay.

We went 3 times during our stay in Istanbul and every time we were well looked after! Food is full of flavour and good portions, and the decor gives a great relaxing atmosphere. There is no problem for tourists with the bill, they never add extras or increase the price! A very enjoyable experience and recommend it for everyone.

Palatium is more than a restaurant - it’s an experience. I travel a lot and I try not to go back to the same places, but I always go back to this restaurant when I am in Istanbul. You can have the experience you want - enjoy a wonderful dinner, relax with some Turkish coffee or tea, smoke shisa after a long day of sightseeing. You decide! The food is incredible, the atmosphere is inviting and fun, but the staff is what makes this place so special. From our first visit, Abdurrahim and Gani have always gone out of their way to make sure we had an amazing experience. They take care of all their customers and that’s what makes people come back multiple times. All of the food is great - my favorites are the chicken shish, pide, and the mezze. I can’t recommend this place enough!

?good location,Cozy and warm atmosphere, is perfect place for meet friends, enjoy a tea with yourself or chilling ? we got some appetizers (hummus) were good and delicious shisha and good drinks (cocktails, wine, beer and tea) ?kind and friendly staff that interact with you; speak ??, ? $

Great beautiful cosy place in a perfect spot. Food was delicious, and service even better. Great positive people working there. Definitely I recomend to wisit. If you go there you will discover incredible history under the cafe/restaurant.

Lovely place with a nice nargile.. nice and cozy atmosphere. With a good view over the street. Service is quite good and prices are reasonable. By far this is one of my top nargile places in istanbul.

Nice atmosphere, and good service. Prices a bit touristy side, but food tasted good so worth it :)

Staffs are so kind and nice foods. This is near sultanahmet. Comfortable and nice antigue terkeyish interior.

Great food and good variety of drinks. Hookah was also good. The place has a relaxed atmosphere and to top it off has ruins under the cafe!

Amazing sheesh kebab and apple tea is spectacular and food is heated to perfect taste

Интересное место с подземными катакомбами, отличное обслуживание, вкусная еда.

(Translated by Google) Really expensive (Original) Bastante caro

(Translated by Google) The food without more. For that price in Istanbul you can eat much better, it is a touristy. (Original) La comida sin más. Por ese precio en Estambul se puede comer mucho mejor, es una turistada.

(Translated by Google) The place is authentic and spacious under the bay, there are cellars of the Byzantine Magnaurya Palace, I strongly recommend you to visit. (Original) Mekan otantik ve ferah cefenin altından Bizans magnaurya sarayının mahzenleri var mutlaka gezmenizi tavsiye ederim

This restaurant is cool with beanbags, nice lighting and great big windows offering street views. The food was some of the best we had in Istanbul and the restaurant is built on a palace, such an amazing history below, make sure to check it out!

Nice place

Fantastic location

(Translated by Google) At Palatium we had a great time. On 5 evenings, 3 we dined here and we were very satisfied. The kebab yogurt is special, but the other dishes can also be eaten! Bottled Efes Malt Beer is served with an iced glass. With an almost negligible price you can take advantage of the hookah (45 lire I think) and accompany it to a traditional cay. Unlike other places, however, they do not offer baklava and cay at the end of the meal, too bad! (Original) Al Palatium ci siamo trovati molto bene. Su 5 sere, 3 abbiamo cenato qui e siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti. Il kebab yogurt è speciale, ma anche gli altri piatti si lasciano mangiare! Merita la Birra Efes Malt in bottiglia servita con bicchiere ghiacciato. Con un prezzo quasi irrisorio si può usufruire del narghilè (45 lire mi pare) e accompagnarlo ad un cay tradizionale. A differenza di altri posti però non offrono baklava e cay a fine pasto, peccato!

Very nice atmosphere and great food. You will get a local menu and also some international dishes. The room is very cosy and warm. It is also possible to smoke Shisha inside. Prices are ok for this standard.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place in its varied sessions and culturally diverse nature The sessions are in uniform And chairs Try their good Turkish coffee And sweet cheesecake is excellent (Original) مكان جميل في جلساته المتنوعة والطابع ذو الثقافات المتنوعة الجلسات فيها زي ( الباطرمه ) وكراسي جربت قهوتهم التركية جيده وحلى تشيز كيك ممتاز

(Translated by Google) First evening in Istanbul and stumbled across the nice restaurant. The interior is something completely different and you sit really comfortably on the pillows and benches. The food was good too. Simply great if you just want to relax somewhere to eat or drink (Original) Erster Abend in Istanbul und gleich über das nette Lokal gestolpert. Die Inneneinrichtung ist mal was ganz anderes und auf den Kissen und Bänken sitzt man echt bequem. Das Essen war auch gut. Einfach super, wenn man nur entspannt irgendwo was essen oder trinken will

(Translated by Google) Great turkish coffee! (Original) Отличный турецкий кофе!

A lovely place to visit in which you can explore the remains of the Byzantine Palace Magnaura... An exciting experience... Then drink some coffee here... They serve with smiling faces...

Unfriendly waiters.

(Translated by Google) Comfortable, spacious and warm))) reasonable prices (Original) Уютно, просторно и тепло)))приемлемые цены

(Translated by Google) Very nice spot on the navel of the old town. Coffee bar and hookah, but also a restaurant. You can sit down for tea or coffee with cuisine, pizza or a rich lunch / dinner with tasty roast meals. Definitely recommend. (Original) Много приятно място на пъпа на стария град. Кафе бар и наргиле, но също така ресторант. Можете да седнете на чай или кафе с кюнефе, пица или богат обяд/вечеря с вкусни ястия на пещ. Определено препоръчвам.

(Translated by Google) Delicious coffee and desserts. I didn’t try the dishes, but the neighbors looked very appetizing! (Original) Вкусный кофе и десерты. Блюда не пробовали, но у соседей выглядели очень аппетитно!

(Translated by Google) Because of the dishes from the stone oven, they have very good food and especially the pastry. Also see the Byzantine tunnels below (Original) Taş fırın dan yemekleri yapması nedeniyle çok iyi yemek ve özellikle hamur işi var. Mutlaka aşağıdaki bizans tünellerini de görün

The worst food we had in Istanbul. Grilled chicken dishes that we ordered were actually fried chicken (dry without flavour) instead of grilled. Soo dry you will have to spend sometime to chew and swallow plus take a drink to help gulp down. You guys should rather go to Turgut restaurant near to this one which has real char grilled juicy dishes.

Friendly hospitality from Turkey. First stop to Istanbul, friendly staff, authentic Turkey dishes.. And a surprise underneath..worth visit

(Translated by Google) Nice place to sit. Cozy enough. But a little expensive !!! (Original) Неплохое место посидеть. Достаточно уютно. Но дороговато!!!

The most relaxing option we found, good selection and well priced.

(Translated by Google) Very good (Original) Muy bueno

Great place to relax on a comfortable sofa inside or soak up the sun on the terrace and enjoy the prompt service. The clay pot dishes come out piping hot and delicious. Finish your meal with a cup of tea or hookah before continuing your walk through the Sultanahmet.

(Translated by Google) Good good (Original) İyidir iyi

Thank you guys for such a remarkable stay and service. You can really pop-up in the crowd. Best place to have Shisha and enjoy a nice meal. Thank you guys! Specially Gani the manager :)

We had dinner four nights out of five when we were in Istanbul. Every meal we tried was delicious. The ambiance is comfortable and beautiful. The service was prompt and efficient. Prices were fair for the quality and area. Highly recommend.

Very very good food. A great location and nice staff. And the best for Istanbul is that you get charget for the price that is on the menu. No extra costs no tricks. I would recommend everyone to also check the underground caves. Amazing!

Great and quick service. Tasty food. But the most fascinating thing is that under the restaurant there is one of the first Byzantinan palaces. The staff has conducted excavations for 4 years and now let people inside the palace for free!

Very nice place with an excavated palace under it. The food is really good all of the employees kind and attentive but the real high light is underneath. A must visit.

Very nice atmosphere on the best location In Istanbul. The food is tasteful. Chill place to hang out with friends or just with the two of you. Nice view from all sides. Serve good shisha. Just ask for Gani and you get the best service. We will come back for sure.

I think everything was frozen from the bread to the pizza to the meat and the vegetables / potatoes ... I didn’t like anything, meat was dry, the dish was not good in general and tastes bad. After a few hours I felt so bad... the only thing I liked was the lentil soup. Plus I didn’t like the music, not suitable for eating dinner but better for drinking and dancing .

The cafe location is perfect. But the stuffs specifically the guy behavior who is manger right now is not good to gusts. Today I was there. I had two business appointments, one was good. I was waiting for my second gust that the manager kicked me out and told me, “ you have to order dinner and why you are sitting like this and don’t speak with any body!” This was absolutely rude. I told him, “ okay, but why? “ the reacting of the manger was rude.

Great atmosphere, tasty and not very expensive food. Portions are quite big (2 women can take 1 kebab). Also, try kunefe dessert - it is amazing!

Great ambiance. Excellent food. Tasty house wine. Will return.

Great ambiance, delicious food, friendly staff and non-smoking lounge, can’t wait to come back!

Good only place, food is poor and overpriced, shisha too. Lamb chops on one plate was with rice and fries and only 3 small pieces non-juicy of lamb. All shishas is non smoky and has the same minty taste. But glass floor is cool.

Bets pide i have ever eaten, and also the other foods were great. Also very good beer 🤩 the staff was very friendly and the underground ruins were astonishing. Reasonable prices. Keep up the good work guys

Very nice shisha! Good food and amazing stuff! The manager was very kind

Amazing food , ambience and music with Shisha in the old town . It’s underground is a historic restored part of a palace . It is family owned and run with friendly service and clay pot baked in fire oven choice of food

Exactly what you need to have from food, drinks and nargile, and also the service is professional fast and with smile. Recommend this place.

Good service and good affordable food. Fantastic ambience and to go and see the city underneath at the same time was grand.

Palatium stands out for it's great food and ambience. Located just behind a street filled with tourist traps and overpriced mediocre offerings, Palatium is a fancy outlet but somehow manages to stay grounded. The food is filling, modestly priced and great in quality. The wine and shisha are also wonderful & the ambience is quite Insta worthy. They get quite full on the weekends, so plan accordingly. Highly recommend this place for people staying in Sultanahmet.

Very nice and relaxing place . But I didn’t like the food. Lamb chops were very dry and overdone . Salad was just ok. My husband ordered fish , he liked it . Nice place to chill but not to eat .

Really nice place, very beautiful interior and cozy atmosphere. Just around the corner from the Blue Mosque. They have good food, good shishas and authentic turkish coffee and tea. Everything at very affordable prices.

Right next to our guesthouse, recommended by our guesthouse receptionist. We went here after 11pm on our arrival. Best chicken stew we had and a very good price for beer. Next day we went for shisha. Gosh amazing. Our last day, we had proper meal. Lamb in pot and chicken stew (again) and few of the starters with the salad. These foods were amazing. Lamb was so tender and juicy. Ive just kept ordering beer as the food was just so good!

Very good food, cozy, traditional seating, good food except for the Margherita pizza not wow! Definitely, worth a visit if you are in Fatih area!

Authentic place where you can come to eat, smoke and enjoy the time with friends and family. The food is fantastic at great prices. Clean and comfortable seating and a lovely view. Great service! For 30/40 euros you can pleasantly order for 3 people.

Palatium is a must if you’re in the Sultanahmet area! From the amazing staff and the delicious food to the overall experience / ambiance, this place is incredible! The prices are fair and the portions are huge! Had a wonderful experience here and can’t wait to go back the next time I’m in Istanbul!

Visited multiple times during a holiday with partner. We came for the incredible archaeology underneath, stayed for the food and kept coming back for the atmosphere for the rest of the week. Great food, probably still overpriced but also half price of most places nearby as they are bang in the middle of the tourist zone. Many vegetarian options. Friendly staff with no hassle and hustle, they leave you to it and give you plenty of time to decide what you want to order. Shisha lasts for hours and they often bring new charcoal (seriously though, what is the trick to keep the flavour going for so long?) - you can get shisha elsewhere for less but here it's prepared better. They are always busy when the businesses around desperately hustling for customers remain empty. Palatium I miss you

Food is good, lamb very tender. Semi-sweetwine yummy. Breads nicly smoked and good salad. Seats by the window are surprisingly comfortable and easy to get relaxed - great atmosphere.

This place is excellent. Food, attention, everything is super good and beautiful atmosphere. I really recommend this spot in Istanbul.

We were denied to sit on the terrace at 22:45 because it was closing. Somehow new customers could go on the terrace at 00:20. The staff had a fight with each other, the meat smelled like animal, the rest of the food was okay. Too bad because this place looks really cool and has a potential to be a great restaurant.

Fantastic food! Very delicious and the service is wonderful. I have been here numerous times whilst in the local area. The shisha and food prices is fantastic and value for money compared to those in the centre. It has a palace (ruins) underneath so great to look at and the glass on the floor u can see down the palace. Best place in Istanbul definitely worth coming here from wherever you are staying. This restaurant is a reflection of Istanbul, the price and food! Brilliant!
