Galata Simit Shop

Amazing fresh simit baked directly there. You can get it plain, or stuffed or get your favourite type of cheese with it. The place was very crowded when we went, the seating is limited to outside and it is quite a popular place so finding a place to sit can be quite hard especially in the morning. The simit was fantastic, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, fresh and warm, straight out of the oven. For anyone who loves simit, this is a must visit

Was expecting warm warm just out of the oven after watching Mark Weins, I guess you need to get lucky. Went for simit and got both cream cheese and their own sauce (taste amazing tbh, I think better for both to mix!). But you get cheaper simit (I can't taste too much differences if not fresh) anywhere else in the carts. Also rare shop to be cash-only.

We were there at 8 am, not crowded, everything fresh and the baking aroma like a soul therapy. Our order was 2 simit sandwiches, 2 small tea. The bill was 270 TL. This is very old simit firn and very famous. The location is perfect with a cozy setting area. Highly recommend.

I visited this place after hearing many recommendations, but unfortunately, my experience didn’t live up to the hype. For a bakery or simit shop, freshness is key—hot, crispy simit and the inviting aroma of freshly baked goods are what you expect. However, none of the simit we tried was warm or fresh, and the lack of that signature smell was disappointing. We ordered a simit sandwich with cheese and tomato, but it seemed like it had been prepared hours earlier. The simit had lost its crispness, and the tomatoes were dry. We also tried the tahini simit, but sadly, it didn’t meet expectations in taste or freshness. Lastly, the service could use improvement. One of the staff members was quite rude, which left a sour note on our visit. I hope the management takes these points into consideration because the place has potential but falls short in delivering the quality and experience one would expect.

Came here after hearing about it from social media and had a good experience. Read some reviews about simit being cold but perhaps we came on a good day because we enjoyed warm, tasty simit with delicious tea.

Amazing simit in a great location. Tea was delicious also. Service was super fast, even if Kenan the owner doesn't smile while he's taking your order.

Very good bread cooked in a wood oven ! A bit difficult to place an order since their is a crowd and the staff doesn't speak english.

Great simit sandwich with tea. Too busy though and self service
