İstanbul Kebab Cafe Restaurant

If you want an authentic, welcoming, warm and overall amazing ambiance and atmosphere come to this restaurant. The owner will treat you like family from the moment you walk in he’s friendly the tea is outstanding. But the food is next level it was so good I went every night 3 nights in a row outstanding. If you want the non touristy authentic version of the Amazing Turkish hospitality and food come too this place. To the owner much love to you and when I do come back to Istanbul the first place I’m heading is this place. BTW baklava is amazing here.

Service was fast & funny, food is fresh & very tasty. We received plenty appetisers and dessert on the house. Music is international. Location is easy to find. The terrace is warm even during winter time. Cats around are a bonus, if you love them.

The place is really beautiful, prices are really good for the zone and the quality of the food. Food is delicious and Tarkan, the owner is really cool and also a good person. They are also very friendly and give you a welcome pide with some good sauces and at the end they give cay (tea) and baklava. Very good and deserving place

This was the best service and food I had in Istanbul. Really good at catering for my baby, they were very good to deal with and spoke very well. Would definitely come back again when passing through Istanbul. Complementary dessert and tea was a nice touch.

Best kebab restaurant in Istanbul! Visited twice in 3 days, planning our third visit very soon. The kebab meat was very well seasoned and well cooked, whether it was chicken, beef or lamb. The grilled sea bass was very fresh too - the fish was juicy and had subtle sweetness. Not to mention the complimentary baklava and Turkish tea! The baklava has a well balanced sweetness and crisp, compared to others in town. Also, friendly staffs and good vibes. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Phenomenal dining experience. You need to hook left/right (depending on what direction you’re coming from) in the middle of quite a touristy street so just be persistent in finding it. The iskender kebab was delicious - the host, Eric even customised it for me to make it a little spicy. We were given complementary appetisers in the form of fresh pita and dips. Don’t skip the delicious tea (especially the pomegranate tea - was mins blowing) and baklava. Very gracious hospitality.

We chose this restaurant after having read the reviews and were not left disappointed nor hungry.. The service was amazing and they have a great sense of humour.. will return on our next visit.. Oh, they also serve cold beer!

We were in Istanbul for five nights and had dinner here twice, that’s how good it was. The food was freshly cooked, very tasty and of very good quality. What made this place special for us was the service and the attitude of the owner, Ehran (Eric) who was extremely friendly, courteous, helpful and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble and everything we asked for was quickly provided. Some other guests had reserved a table to celebrate their wedding anniversary, the table was beautifully prepared for them with fresh roses and rose petals on the table. Had we known before we would have come here on the night of our anniversary instead of the fancy restaurant we pre booked that was half as good and twice as expensive!!. There are very many similar restaurants in this area and this one takes a little finding, trust us, it is worth a little effort. You won’t be disappointed. Well done Ehran 👏👏👏
