    Came here seeing they had a 4.9 note and they deserve it. Everything was excellent. The service from Orhan was 5* , very attentive, taking time to explain, very friendly. We had the dried black pepper steak, lamb chops and pistachios kebab. They were all delicious, cooked as we asked. Last but not least, the view is also 5*.

    Best restaurant so far in our Istanbul trip!! The food was amazing (pastas were delicious and the steak and lamb chops were INCREDIBLE), the view facing Sophia Mosque was wonderful but more importantly the chef and staff were the most attentive and kind people we’ve had in a long time. Can’t definitely put into more words how this is a must go to (and they hace alcohol which is just an added bonus)

    Eating here is a true 5 Star experience, unlike most of the other restaurants I've been to in Istanbul. The customer service is REALLY good and they're friendly. Some of them also speak English. Sanira the customer service assistant was extremely helpful, nice, attentive and helped make the experience even better. The menu looks nice and has pictures and English descriptions of the food. The main dishes were quite expensive to be honest, but as other reviewers have stated, it's well worth the price. The Zeugma & Diana steak were cooked medium, well seasoned, came fresh, sizzling hot and were ABSOLUTELY TO DIE FOR. I thoroughly enjoyed my entire meal. The tea and baklava with ice cream is served on the house. Which was such a pleasant surprise. Although the view and atmosphere was nice, the lighting and interior decor is very basic. I would 100% come back here again, because you really do get what you pay for, and then some. They really go out of their way to make you feel warm, welcomed and serviced with a smile.

    We've had an amazing experience and great steaks! Steaks here are a bit different than what is traditionally considered a steak. But they are sooo good! And the presentation from the chef is just wow! You can really see that people here care about the food and your experience. Views are stunning, service is thoughtful, birds outside are hungry 😀

    I went with my wife yesterday and I have to say it the most amazing steak I have had in a very long time. I would recommend it to anyone who's traveling to Istanbul to try it. The service was exceptional and I will be going again before I leave. I would recommend anyone to take the zeugma steak.

    Excellent experience! The food was amazing and the staff was very professional and kind. We ordered from their bbq selections and pasta and everything tasted delicious. Given the view and the ambiance of the restaurant, their prices are justified plus their menu is more economical than the nearby places. They even served us complimentary tea after the meal. Would definitely recommend!

    I haven‘t had a better steak in a while! The service was exceptional and the view beyond amazing. We‘re definitely coming back these days. Also, they didn‘t charge us anything for the dessert, coffee and tea.

    Calm atmosphere, tasty food, and nice views. The best time to visit is around the sunset. The cost is a bit above average but 5 star treatment. It’s on the 6th floor and the entrance is not very clear. There is a foot massage down on the street, you enter from it and head to the elevator 6th floor.

    Amazing ambience. Very peaceful and top quality food. Away from the hustle bustle of the streets. Multi cuisine. We had burgers, pasta, steak and chicken kebab. Presentation is 5 star quality. The server is as attentive as a private butler. Extremely friendly and hospitable. Come here if you are looking for a peaceful dinner experience.

    Incredible views, service and atmosphere! I would keep going back to this place 100s pf times if I could but only visited as a tourist. We ordered the shrimp skewers, Chicken made in the clay pot and the Pistachio Kebab and everything was absolutely delicious. They also kept replacing the bread so it was piping hot every few minutes. Not to forget all the splendid views of old Istanbul. 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️

  • 5/5 Saad S. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a wonderful dinner here back in October. The owner and manager is the nicest man I met in Turkey, and that’s saying a lot. He was very attentive to us and all the guests, and their food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the mixed grill and it was fantastic; tender meat full of flavor and tasty fries. The red and black spices they have are also excellent. The views from the terrace are top notch too; great view of Hagia Sofia. Not only that, the owner/manager was so nice he even served us complimentary Turkish ice cream and fistikli! Highly recommend this restaurant!

  • 5/5 Alpha T. 1 year ago on Google
    The steaks are delicious, the service is okay, the dining experience is wonderful. It is only 9 minutes walk from our hotel. The restaurant is located on the top floor of a hotel, and in front of the hotel there is a board listing the menu and indicating the location of the restaurant. The price of the food is reasonable, the quality of the meat is okay, the sauce is delicious. Highly recommended. At the end of the meal, the staff gave a very delicious compliment dessert.

Would definitely come back in the future when I visit Istanbul again!❤️

    Great food!! And generous portions too : ) Service by Sanira and Orhan was superb. They were very attentive without being intrusive the whole time we were here. Will definitely visit again the next time we are in Istanbul. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Shar G. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing…. The food was perfect, location is very nice and the service was the best so far in Istanbul. Thank you for your hospitality and delicious food. We recommend the entrecôte and the rib eye. and if you like your meat medium I would recommend ordering it medium rare. The food is served on a very hot plate and because of this the meat will cooks for a while after serving.

  • 5/5 דר עיצוב כיורי אבן ופרטי �. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant provided best dishes 🥘 we ate at Istanbul ❤️❤️❤️. Just don't try to compare it to kebab restaurants on streets. Every dish made from best quality components and include exclusive souses and recipes. The service was great and Orhan the hostess did great job to explain all details. Moreover This restaurant also provide great view on Istanbul. The pricing for such a great food was beyond reasonable!!! This place is must to visit in Istanbul!!

  • 5/5 S T. 2 years ago on Google
    I have eaten at many restaurants in Turkey, but this one is by far my favourite. The service is TOP NOTCH! The food is delicious, the ambiance is calming, and the view is stunning! With special compliments to the chef who is very helpful and makes sure that his guests are satisfied. Also Maya made my time very enjoyable. You have to go at least once during your time in Istanbul!

    Good fresh “home cooked” food. Various vegetarian options as well. Nice views of surrounding areas

  • 5/5 Роман �. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely deserves it's high rating. Very delicious food. I would recommend amazing potato pancakes and fish here. You can have a small show when ordering meat cooked in a pot. The entrance is a little hard to find, you gotta go into the hotel and pass to second (not closest one) elevator, then get up to the top floor.

  • 5/5 ftarmm m. 2 years ago on Google
    It was an amazing restaurant with even more amazing food and views. We came after reading the reviews and happy to say it did not disappoint! The waiters are all very nice and friendly and made the experience pleasant. We also received a treat from the restaurant after our meals. Overall it was 5/5 for both meals and hospitality 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

  • 5/5 Farida El S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Farshad R. 8 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Everything was pretty great! The bathrooms were clean and the servers were very nice. We got all our food under 10 minutes or so. However, we were the only ones there since it was 5:00PM. My daughter said the cheeseburger was the best cheeseburger in Istanbul so far. The windows were open so it was a little chilly. The view was amazing. Additionally, at the end they gave us a complimentary tea and coffee. That was average. My wife loved the soup, but to me it was fair. We got the lentil soup. Lamb chops and Urfa kebob were fantastic and highly recommended.

    Zeugma is by far one of the best places to eat in Istanbul! We ate here on our first day of arriving; and had to go back 2 days later as the food was too amazing. Alongside the food, the staff are impeccable! From the moment you enter, to the moment you leave, you will feel paramount no matter how busy it is! The view is absolutely unreal masha'allah. My husband had the Dallas Steak, and I had the Chicken Alfredo and my oh my were they perfection! I’m not one to usually like an Alfredo but this made me want to go back!🤤 sneaking in a taste of my husbands steak, this is the only steak i would happily eat again! You also cannot forget the baklava they bring out in the end, we had two different types from both visits and both were absolutely divine! - Hats off to the chefs, the servers & to the view. The combination of all 3 is a trip everyone must experience!
