Haskral Hatay Sofrası

Popped in for lunch around 12pm just before my return flight. Straight away was so annoyed had missed this place during my travels to Istanbul. The best eating establishment in Istanbul especially Aksaray. What a gem in a gold mine! Beautifully clean, waiter spoke good English and was so polite. Incrediblly clean and five star food preparation facilities. Spacious, bright and even a water feature to soothe the mood. Food portions generous, really really well prepared and most importantly fresh natural ingredients. Selection of exceptional Turkish dishes with a large menu. My only disappointment was I was in a rush to the airport so only spent less than half hour! So so under rated establishment and very competitively priced. Not a tourist rip off but quality for the locals Will definitely return! A great culinary experience to end my stay in Istanbul. Well done!

This is very good Southern Turkey style restaurant in the center of Istanbul. Try the oven cocked chicken with salt and the lamp meat cocked in pride. Well cocked chicken and meat. The starters are massive with freshly baked Turkish breads. Friendly staff. Very recommended for lunch.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Istanbul. It has a very nice atmosphere, and the staff are super friendly and attentive. They have a wide selection of foods, which makes it sometimes hard to choose from, and they make their own bread fresh and different than what you usually know. Prices are not high generally. I cannot recall having any trouble with food or service in this restaurant. They serve free tea and a plate of fresh fruits after your meal. I advise you to try the 1 meter kebab..! It’s delicious and nice. I highly recommend this restaurant for families and friends.

Easiest to reach from Aksaray metro station. Amosphere is a good contrast with the outside neighborhood. Food is delicious from meze (starters) to main, sides and dessert. Stay away from green peppers with kebap, they are super hot! Service was impeccable. Ask to pack your leftovers if you want to finish it at home. Good for solos, couples, groups and families.

For me the, restaurant wasn’t easy to locate it but finally reached it. The closest metro station is Aksaray. As usual, the food was tasty, delicious and of many varieties. I would recommend the Basha Kebab, the lentil soup and the Hummus and Mahamarah starters. The service was also excellent and the staff were welcoming. The overall atmosphere was good.

From the eclectic, multifaceted menu with flexitarian options to the welcoming, unrefined and cozy ambiance - Haskral is by far one of my favorite dining places in Istanbul! The kabobs will stimulate your taste buds and the plethora of menu items would accommodate the carnivorous meat-lovers, sea animal lovers and vegetarians alike! the customer service experience is typically super exceptional. If you're looking for a restaurant with a homey feel in the heart of Istanbul with an exceptional dining experience You will NOT be disappointed!

One word. Overrated. Two meals were undercooked including the chicken one. Restaurant design and interior is so depressing. Not to mention the prices aren’t even cheap, kinda felt like i got scammed tbh. Meal in the 1st pic alone costed 1720tl and no one informed us that it’s enough for 4 people, we ordered it for one lol. Worst experience in Ist.

The hashas kebap is one of the best koftas I’ve ever had. Amazing! Stopping here whenever we’re in Istanbul
