Resto Ethnica
Turkish restaurant
👍👍 Best service and nicest food in Istanbul. Our server - Mohammed - was absolutely lovely. We had no reservation and came here after reading positive reviews about the vegetarian food. I am vegetarian, my husband is not. And I’ve mostly lived on crisps and cookies for our 10 day tour of Turkey! Resto...

Cozy Garden Fish And Meat Restaurant
Restaurant
😠 Please read all the one star reviews. All the 5 star reviews are fake and probably done by the friends and family of the restaurant. I would like to start by saying. Get ready to hear the word NO. - I asked for cold water, this is warm. The service person will tell you no it’s cold. You are wrong....

Fish Home Ahhir Kapi Restaurant
Seafood restaurant
🫤 The 2 stars are given for the Terrasse, located in a calm street. As for the service we were disappointing by the unprofessional staff, the waiters shooting at each other, one of them smoking cigarette just next to fish fridge then continue serving without even washing his hands. The food taste good...

Last Ottoman Cafe & Restaurant
Turkish restaurant
😠 ** High Ratings are FAKE** **Visit at your own risk** Heads up, everyone – don't get fooled by the high ratings. It's a total sham. I visited the place, expecting something great because of its Google ratings. But what a letdown! The place was practically empty, and the kitchen looked like a mess –...

Amara kebap & Fish House
Turkish restaurant
👍👍 Nice place! A welcoming stuff, cozy design and relaxing vibe :) Nevertheless, the food was good (because we all seek for it first) Moreover, they would treat you with some free watermelon in a hot day. Totally worth it 💯

👍👍 Hands down the best restaurant in all of Turkey. I am glad I waited to leave a review (not on purpose) but to realize how incredible their food really was. It was our first restaurant in Turkey to eat at and we did try other great restaurants in Istanbul, Cappadocia and Izmir but nothing like this r...

Özen Lokanta
Restaurant
👍👍 This lokantasi serves very good and fresh food. I tried the pide and lahmacun which were freshly baked. So scrumptious. The locals eat here so I had a go as I feel this is authentic Turkish food. Don't be afraid to try. I strongly recommend it. The price is also very reasonable.

Turkish restaurant
🫤 I came to this place as reading the reviews I thought we would have a nice dinner. Instead, I was very disappointed, having tried other places around galata, which are much better. Food is worse than average, over priced. Service ok however I had to chase for the rice I had ordered to accompany my s...

Cafe Amedros
Restaurant
👍👍 Great experience. First, the restaurant has gluten free options which is not always easy to come by in Istanbul. They have gluten free bread, beer, and plenty of dishes to choose from. If gluten free options don’t matter to you, id still highly recommend! It has wonderful and friendly staff, is in a...

GRACE Rooftop Restaurant
Seafood restaurant
😐 A lot of good reviews landed me to this place for Lunch, but 360o view was all it had. We entered the place and was greeted by the host, we asked to sit near the big windows as it was empty and had no reservation tag but to my shocked we were denied, although few minutes later another couple was all...
