Ali Ocakbaşı

Been here 6 years ago and the food was amazing. I hope to go back again

Great food, view and service. Mezes are delicious.

This restaurant has a phenomenal view of the Golden Horn with excellent grilled kebab type dishes to match. The servers were also highly attentive and friendly. Only one thing struck me as very odd — a suggested gratuity of 50% on the bill (and by verbal suggestion) for a party of two which any seasoned traveller knows is absolutely ludicrous! It was such an awkward and questionable thing, I just laughed when they showed me. I actually ended up still tipping over 20% because the service had actually been good and I also have sympathy for restaurants during this time of the pandemic.

A beautiful location with delicious food. A must when visiting Istanbul.

Hidden gem, the entrance is down an unassuming street, looks a bit dodgy but don't be put off.nnIt's on the 5th floor of a building overlooking the bosphoros and has a cool vibe.nnGood food, recommend saving room for a desert (get the katmer!!)
