👍👍 We loved it so much that we ate there 3 times while my family visited Istanbul! The staff was kind, family-friendly, and fun. They had a delicious fruit platter, wonderful options for children, and lots of outdoor seating in a beautiful setting. We liked sitting outside and watching the dub go down...

Anadolu Nargile Çorlulu Ali Paşa Medresesi
Hookah bar
👍👍 The oldest shisha/nargile cafe! What an experience and atmosphere.
Very welcoming, they speak basic English. There’s three bars all equivalent so don’t feel as thought you’re missing out.
All priced the same and great shisha (65 lira) So you can’t go wrong for £4ish all in depending on how many te...

Sefa-i Hürrem Cafe & Restaurant
Restaurant
😠 a tourist trap place. The worst Turkish breakfast. Simit was dry, sausage from a can, bal kaimak looked and tasted old. If you come here for a view, just do not opt for Turkish breakfast. Oh and they charge 100 lira for services.

Vamos Estambul Restaurant & Cafe

😠 Big tourist trap! I only looked at the Google review ratings but it were probably fake reviews. Even the man at the entrance who lured us in was bragging about their Google reviews (🚩🚩🚩).
The food was bad, my shish kebab was really dry. Also the adana kebab was just below average and dry. All tha...

👍👍 Best food in Turkey 100%. With everyone one calling at you while walking it’s hard to navigate the streets. But I’m so thankful we were ushered to Ararat because the food, drinks, service and ambiance were the best I’ve had in my travels around Turkey. Their chicken with pistachio and cream was sooo...

I am vegetarian, my husband is not. And I’ve mostly lived on crisps and cookies for our 10 day tour of Turkey! Resto...

Samatya Cafe & Van Kahvaltı Salonu

👍 Breakfast was great and very tasty, they had a lot of options but the kaymak was missing (was told it was not available) hence the 4/5 stars. There was endless amounts of tea refills available too. Service was quick and staff were very welcoming.

Galata Dersaadet Restaurant
Restaurant
😠 SCAM ALERT !
We ordered x2 sides (120 TL each) and x2 sodas and this fish as you see in the picture and our bill was 4,000 TL !!
The food was okay at best and definitely not worth this much. We were stunned by the bill and decided not to question the server or push back due to the language barrier.
