"Enjoy the "Fal" Flavor of Turkish Coffee If you’re keen to experience the medieval practice of "kahve falı" or "fal" (fortune telling with Turkish coffee) then make an appointment at Symbol Café in Nişantaşı with Tunc, one of the few English-speaking coffee readers in the city. Once there, order a Turkish coffee with "sade" (no sugar), "az" (little sugar), "orta" (medium sugar), or "şekerli" (sweet), and savor the flavor of a rich aromatic coffee as you ponder your life’s ambitions. When the last drop leaves your lips and all that is left are the grinds sunk deep in the demitasse (small cup), take the saucer and gently seal it atop the cup. Swirl the cup and saucer clockwise three times and then flip them both toward you, holding them firmly so as not to spill the grinds. Relax as the grinds dry out, and wait for Tunc to find you in the cozy café filled with locals who are also eager for readings. When Tunc hypnotically gazes at the grinds to interpret the patterns before his eyes, expect to hear about your past, present, and future with uncanny accuracy (or at least that’s what happened to me). Facts about your life, love, career, money, family, and travel will spill out of the cup for Tunc to interpret without you mentioning a word. Symbol Cafe is at Valikonağı Caddesi (Street) No: 34 Nişantaşı - İstanbul - Telephone: (0212) 291 75 40. The closest train stop to Symbols Cafe is Osmanbey Metro Station, one stop from Taksim Square."

I did the Turkish coffee reading and was honestly a little hesitant after reading the reviews but I had a great experience. I drank the coffee and my leisure and then was escorted to a private room for my reading. The person told me information about my future love life, career path and mental health. Then they asked me if I had any specific questions which I thought was nice. I would recommend thinking of some prior and writing them down. I wish I would’ve done that. They used Google translate to translate my reading to English and it worked seamlessly. I didn’t feel rushed and I felt it was totally worth the 300 liras. I opted out of the tarot card reading but they do offer that as well for another 300 lira. The space was very cozy.

It is one of the most beautiful places I love the view, it is also a place that tells fortunes about coffee and has an a la carte kitchen...

food was okay, the interior decor and atmosphere is quite boring. the staff and services were good. as they offered to read fortune I have tried tarot but I couldnt relate to what the lady was saying 😬 (don't recommend that) maybe the coffee cup is different 😅

Very expensive . I recommend Mirza. But it only lasts 3 4 min.

Lattè and fortune tellers were both awesome. The music was very cool too however a bit conflicting and/or too energetic for the ambiance. Try Aykut.
