An easy walk from Taksim Square, and what a find! Great food, reasonably priced, excellent service. The clay pot dinner, presented at the table, is fun as well as tasty. There was outside seating available, but we chose to stay indoors. Be sure to order dessert!

Not bad but certainly not the best food we've had in Istanbul. We had the clay pot kabob and it was just OK; the presentation was fun. The service was very good but overall I wouldn't return.

Ordered their recommended food yesterday. They gave me only the meet(protein), rice, no garnish or anything vegetable at all. Spend ~3000 for two, without wine, food quality is no good.
The food here is absolutely phenomenal! The staff goes above and beyond to ensure a fantastic dining experience, and the dishes arrive at your table in a flash. You won't be disappointed!
