Asmali Saki Meyhanesi

Had amazing meal , they even brought me out a little birthday cake when they found it was my birthday, Lovely team

The food is very nice. I got fish skewer and fried calamari I recommend you the fried calamari it’s probably the best one I’ve ever had! The prices are very high. I don’t wanna say here is a tourist trap but the prices are top of the roof. There are multiple over charges like taxes , service charges etc. Also!!! My bill was 1150 Lira and I paid 1200 lira and they never brought the change back! This is the reason I deducted two star Beacuse it’s not fair. Lots of us work hard for our money so it’s not really nice to see these behavior. And Yes for fried calamari and fish skewer thats how much it costed! The people who work there had a nice attitude and they were friendly.

The food is excellent. The service is friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is acceptable, given the crowd and noise. Everything we （4 of us) ordered is excellent. The cold appetizers (fish, spinach and olives) are very tasty. The lamb cutlets are tender, juicy and delicious (retaining the natural lamb flavor without being overpowering). The grilled bass was moist and grilled wonderfully. The other lamb dish we ordered was also very good. The vegetables are fresh and tasty. All of us enjoyed our dinner very much.

The food was ok, nothing extra, nothing mindblowing. Definitely not worth of scaming we experienced. They put a bottle of water on the table that we didn't open or drink and after we asked for the receipt they put a plate of fresh fruit. I took one slice of apple and imediately realized we'll be paying for something we didn't order. When we got the receipt it was hand writen and the prices didn't match the prices that were writen on the outside menu. So we just payed. We don't know the language and they weren't comunicative either. If you are willing to pay 10 euros more for something you didn't order or don't even know if you actualy did order than, shure, go there.

Amazing experience and the most fantastic food. We had one night in Istanbul and I am delighted we stumbled upon Asmali Saki Meyanesi. Amazing food, lovely team and such cool vibes. Highly recommend!!!

Absolutely amazing food, amazing prawns and lovely fish and meat and chips and amazing service very friendly business

We came for dinner in the evening. The food is okay. However, be careful when checking the bill, there are no food prices listed on it. Restaurants just add up all the totals. Make sure they don’t try to charge you extra

The restaurant was a 2 minute walk from the Pera Palace where we were staying. Had the Esme, Hamzi and steak which were all delicious. Service and atmosphere was friendly and cozy. Quality of food was excellent.

We enjoyed the mixed meze plate, olives with pomegranate, Turkish melon, lamb chops, and seabass. Crispy manti was a little bland. Service was friendly. Seating was tight.

If you are staying in Istanbul make the trip to Pera to eat at Asmali. I highly recommend eating here. The staff is accomodating and very patient when it comes to English speakers. The food is excellent, especially the chicken shish! My favorite part about eating here is the street side view and of course the dessert, which consists of watermelon, cherries, and chocolate cake. This restaurant embodies Turkish hospitality and culture in an unexpected place. Make sure you stay for some Turkish tea!
