A True Insider’s Guide to Eating, Drinking, and Staying in Istanbul

"The airy dining room at Seraf Vadi, way north of the city center, is worth a pilgrimage for chef Sinem Özler’s inspired renditions of regional Anatolian dishes and for the 240-label, mostly Turkish wine list." - Anya von Bremzen

Seraf Vadi

"Start your meal with the içli köfte, a house speciality combining a creamy yoghurt sauce with a steamed bun stuffed with highly aromatic lamb. And be sure to sample the other mezze, such as the imam bayildi: stuffed aubergine with a subtle smoky flavour, caramelised onion and candied red pepper. The main courses featuring various cuts of lamb are to die for. This contemporary restaurant not far from Vadistanbul Shopping Mall is a celebration of Anatolian culinary heritage." - Michelin Inspector

Seraf Vadi truly captures the essence of a Michelin-star experience with a humble and welcoming touch. We usually went for lunch and enjoyed the calm, chill atmosphere, but by night, it transforms into a buzzing, lively spot. We even celebrated a birthday there and would do it again in a heartbeat. We just love everything about it!

Food was delicious but not very special. Great presentation, fresh ingredients and much more tasty than many other places for sure, but my expectations were higher. Icli kofte, lahmacun and tadimlik tatli tabagi were the best among all. The wine menu was extensive and cocktails were inspired by Turkish food and drinks. Recommended to taste at least one cocktail. The interior designed well but for me it was too dark. Also it was very hot, we felt like fainting after eating. The waiters were very kind and fast. Sommelier explained the wines very detailed and helped us choose the right one.

🍽️ Delicious anatolian cuisine: The food is flavorful and authentic, offering reimagined taste of Anatolia. ‘Manti’ and ‘Irmik tatlisi’ were spectacular. 🎨 Beautiful ambiance: The interior is well-decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. 🤷‍♂️ Unprofessional service: Unfortunately, the waiter’s attitude was not very professional (not polite to other waiters, muttering during serving…), which affected the experience. 👍 Worth a visit: Despite the service, the tasty dishes and lovely atmosphere make it worth trying.

In my humble opinion this is one the best restaurants in Istanbul. Great food, great service, and consistently good every time I visit.I’d have to recommend everything I’ve had there as it’s all good. This time i had the set menu, they serve all their best sellers. Every dish was tastier than the other. Very nice atmosphere as well with good vibes. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Right across from Liv Hospital in Vadistanbul, you’ll find this spot with valet service, though Vadistanbul’s free parking is also an option. As soon as you walk in, the staff is super friendly and attentive. You’ll get that same level of service at the Mahmutbey branch, but this place really stands out for its design. The vibe is extremely elegant and stylish with wood, stone, and ceramic elements, all centered around an impressive tree of life sculpture. Huge but graceful glass windows surround the place; both the daytime and evening lighting elevate the whole dining experience. The place is spotless, including the restrooms, and they’ve got a wide bar area. When it comes to the food, this restaurant serves the most delicious food in Vadistanbul according to me. Chef Sinem Özler’s dishes are the highlight, made with fresh ingredients she sources from all over Anatolia. Seraf even won Gault&Millau’s Traditional Cuisine award in 2024. PS: There’s a 12% service charge.

The restaurant itself looks amazing, they have also a small boutique with their own products and the staff were very nice. I was impressed that they mentioned that all the food that is not sold that day, the staff are taking home (they are really lucky as the food is really delicious). Besides the food being delicious, you can understand that the quality of what you eat is very high. I really really enjoyed everything, we tasted many dishes but i was completely conquered by Kayseri yaglamasi. Also i took for home reyhan serbeti as i loved it so much

Seraf Vadi, a new restaurant serving classic Turkish cuisine in a modern style and presentation. Beautiful and charming ambience. Service was disjointed. The The food was tasty but nothing to rave home about it. I had tired the original Seraf and found it very good. This new one is yet to reach the level of the previous one. Will visit it after a while may be they would have managed to fine tune it. For now it is #acceptable Recommended dishes: The onion dolma (second photo) and the lahmacun. Average PPP TL 1000
