This was a must do experience!! Food was authentic and service was amazing. We pulled up in our car and they parked it for us. We were seated right away and greeted with warm hospitality. Definitely going back. Also picked up unique souvenir gifts and homemade jam.

I’ve tried several breakfast places in Istanbul with a set menu, but honestly, this one truly deserves a star! First of all, our waiter, Abdulrahman, was incredible—friendly, amazing, and full of energy. He not only explained every dish but also arranged the table in a fun and engaging way. His spirit was unmatched! Honestly, if it weren’t my last day here, I’d come back just because of him. As for the food, the eggs were among the best I’ve ever had, and the foul—OMG! I finally found a place in Istanbul that serves it with a set menu! An amazing place with fantastic food—10/10!

Everything was amazing, the food, staff and the atmosphere. Great experience ❤️!!!!

Stuff very kind and welcoming. My favorite breakfast restaurant in Istanbul where you can find traditional original Turkish food. They refill the breakfast without extra cost. They have karak also besides the çay. The bread maid by old ladies which makes it extra yummy. The sauces are home made so delicious

If you’re looking to discover authentic Anatolian breakfast in Istanbul, this is a spot you shouldn’t miss. Rich in flavor, hospitality, and tradition—highly recommended for an delicious experience. This place in a lush, green, and peaceful setting, right in the heart of Istanbul, with convenient parking available right in front. Everything served was thoughtfully selected and unlimited: around ten types of jam from Anatolia and the Middle East, 18–19 different mezzes, perfectly cooked eggs and menemen, fresh vegetables, and high-quality cheeses. The gözleme (stuffed flatbreads) feature unique flavors from the Hatay region and were particularly delicious. Unlimited tea is constantly refreshed throughout your meal. What stood out to us most was how attentive the staff were—explaining the origin and ingredients of each traditional dish as they were served. It transforms breakfast into a cultural tasting experience rather than just a meal. Despite the wide variety, portions are thoughtfully sized to avoid waste/israf, and you can always ask for more of anything you finish. The kitchen is open to view, which is a nice touch for those who value cleanliness. The restrooms are also well maintained. And they have very clean prayer room / masjid.
