Elbet Steakhouse

Incredible little gem! One of the best steakhouses I have ever visited. Will be back for sure 😍

The only downside is that they are not precise at all with reservations—we had to wait a good 30 minutes past our booking time, and since there’s no real waiting area, you’re left standing either in the middle of the restaurant or out on the street, which isn’t ideal. That said, once you’re seated the experience more than makes up for it. The meat selection is absolutely top-notch, with plenty of cuts to choose from and local flavors worth exploring. The staff is very warm and welcoming, even if English isn’t their strong suit, so don’t hesitate to ask for their recommendations. The atmosphere overall is casual, lively, and friendly, making it a place you’ll likely want to return to despite the initial hiccup.

The best thing is the chips! I was so disappointed in the food and service. My Dallas steak was t cooked properly as I asked Medium Well. My husband ordered the Tomahawk. Both steaks were old or bad quality the steaks were very chewy. I left most of my steak and my husband left half his one. The dried onion flower was so bad that we returned it and the restaurant insisted to serve another better one. The second one was as bad as the first we didn’t even touch it! The surprise is that they included it in the bill in addition to two other starters they served us at the beginning which we didn’t order. We thought they were complimentary so we didn’t object. We had the bill including these two started we didn’t order plus the fried onion, when we explained to the waiter that we are not paying these and we explained why, he brought another waiter and the manager. They all seemed angry talking in Turkish and we didn’t understand what they said but we got uncomfortable. They removed the three items from the bill. The ambiance was nice specially outdoor but not in summer at all. We were family of four 3 adults and 2 teens paid total around 4000 Turkish Lira soft drinks and 2 bottles of water worst steakhouse experience!

100% I would recommend Elbert Steakhouse to anyone coming to Istanbul, we had such good experience. Ribs, tacos, burgers I enjoyed every single of them. Had a lovely time thanks to Chef Qudsi and our waiter Hussein! The food was amazing, and both of them were so friendly and nice. Their kindness made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back!

Thanks for the great steak. Best steakhouse in the world!!!! Service, food and ambiance 👍👍👍

5 stars – An unforgettable experience! I’ve rarely eaten so well as I did at Elbet. The meat was perfectly cooked – incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. Absolutely outstanding. The dessert was just as impressive and rounded off the meal beautifully. A big thank you to our waiter, Hussein, who made the evening even more special with his warm and professional service. He was attentive, friendly, and always there when we needed something. If you’re in Istanbul and appreciate top-quality food and exceptional service, Elbet is an absolute must-visit!

The quality of the food was good. Quite impressed with the meat. The starters were very good. But when it came time for our main course, our sides started coming out first. Almost immediately after we ordered the steaks, our side of spinach arrived at the table. Then our baked potato. Etc. There we were eating sides and the very last thing to get there was the Striploin and Lamb filet. It was ok, I guess in the end. But actually really confusing as to why thats how they would course our meals. We couldn't find our server to pay. But we at patiently with our credit card visible on the table. Finally a different server came by, we asked for the bill. I needed to enter my pin, and then re-enter it. This seemed to annoy those new server, which was strange. APPROVED, and then he border line tossed my credit card face down on the table in front of me, along with the receipt. It was absolutely bizarre. Not a great way to finish an OK evening.

Literally the best in town 💯 Starting from the fresh meat to the variety of great desserts The place is very clean (they even give you toothbrushes and dental floss when you enter the toilet ) I can’t come to Istanbul without a visit to elbet The atmosphere is just really nice also the owner of the restaurant and the staff are super friendly ! The quality of the meat there is on another level I would definitely recommend it to everyone I know!!!! Seriously 10/10!!!
