Ok but not too special!!!The mistake they did is that they served a very well done stake when we ordered medium rare!!!! Also it wasnt fresh, it was clearly reheated.Moreover, they brought alot of fruits and sweets (we didnt ask for) we thought its complimentary, but you end up paying for it if u touch any plate!!!Otherwise all was OK with good seating and music in the background.
I did a mistake by entering this place!In fact, I think its wonderful decorations and great location seems to have deceived me!When I entered, I was warmly welcomed and seated on a nice sofa.I ordered a bowl of Chicken Caesar Salad and a cup of mint lemonade. When I looked at the menu I knew it was quite an expensive place.. yet I noted the prices (40 TL for the salad and 25 TL for the lemonade).They were not happy that I didn’t order a nargile (hookah).. but I did not care since I simply do not smoke.The salad was not fresh at all and it was greasy !However, the main issue happened when I asked for the check.While having the salad I read some reviews about this place overcharge customers.. this is why I was careful.The check comes as follows:Caesar Salad: 40 TLLemonade: 25 TLTOTAL: 85 TL..!As simple as that.. not a single explain on the check of how 20 TL were added and why!I told the waiter that there is a mistake, because 40+25=65 not 85!He brought the manager who said: “This is for service”. I told him that it is illegal in Turkey not to have this “service charge” clearly on the check.I left.. wrote this review.. and I am going to report this to the authorities.My advice: AVOID... there are plenty of better places near this restaurant.
I think its wonderful decorations and great location seems to have deceived me!.they seemed nice , but for a reason , they are con artists, be carefulafter all the bad food and expensive flavored juices( supposed to be 100% juice) , they brought a large tray of fruits that we did not order , 3 guys came a long when i asked why? they started speaking Turkish and i had no clue what is going on , even though some of them can speak English, at the end we did not eat except few pieces of the large fruit baskets and they added over 300 TL on the bill. we paid over 700 TL for garbage meal for 3 adults and 1 child. the government should investigate the owners....
They try to bring things on the table that you havent ordered and charge you for it,they are very dishonest people and when you get the bill you definitely need to check it cause they try to over charge you for things. I definitely DONT recommend this place to anyone, especially to tourists.
Bad experience. Expensive prices !!!!I definitely DONT recommend this place to anyone, especially to tourists.
Worst experience ever! They took me way inside behind curtains . Then when the food came it was disastrous, I ordered some mixed barbecue for two persons . The food was cooked before like a day and was reheated they were not fresh. Cheese sticks were disgusting they had no taste and the cheese wasnt even melted inside . Above all this all of my food orders added up to 351 TL , the bill came in 431 TL , thats an extra 80 TL. When I asked about this the waiter panicked and said it was a service fee, what service fee it is a restaurant i already pay extra for everything because they should include service, but the fact they were trying to rip me off! When I co fronted them they used this pathetic excuse ! One more thing they made me pay an extra 20 TL for 2 bottles of water that I did not order ( water costs outside 1.5 or 2 TL) . I dont recommend it to anyone . Dont even think of it as an option . Go check for decent and respectful restaurants. I was forced into this one due to covid situation and a lot of the places recommended by my friends were closed .
Food is bad, tasteless, very slow service, too expensive as well, I kept asking for my order because I started getting frustrated with the long wait and all they do is nod back to me? Useless staff and waiters, they look friendly but it isn’t helping at all, I don’t recommend it at all. Dont try hookah there, too many vents that will burn the flavor. Very awful experience
Beautiful restaurantThe food was goodNice seating plases
Nargila was terrible and overpriced.They force dishes on you table to get you too eat them and payService is slow. Location not so special over all wouldn’t recommend
A very bad establishment. Cheating with prices, be vigilant. The food is not tasty. The hookah is disgusting. This was our last visit to this place.
Worst hookah lounge ever so ghetto
So Bad customer service they will rip you off
Very bad survice and it is one star restaurant very cheap standard i don’t recommend it at all
THE WORST EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD IN ALL OF TURKEY!!!!
They put a large variety of fruits on the table dont touch it they will charge you !!!!!
😍
Out standing service with remarkable fruit platters. Definitely had us feeling like royalty, would recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul and wants a nice lounge to chill and relax with either their loved one or family.
It’s too expensive!! Only for the Shisha 150 Tl and for service 30 Tl I will never come again to this place!!
Terrible experienceMy partner and I ordered one shisha and two pineapple juices.A few minutes later, the waiter approached our table to place about 10 plates of fresh fruit, I immediately asked him, what’s that for? He said we will be charged only if we eat any of it. boy boy I don’t fall for that! I told him to turn around and keep these plates Where they belong to!He didn’t stop there, he made a second, third and fourth attempts. He didn’t realise how much I love heated debates and I hate being forced into something and made uncomfortable. But, boy I made him sweat!After reading the comments I realised I did the right thing.Avoid!!!!!!!
Great hookah place. Desert and fruits!Awesome
Gorgeous place for dining, decoration is amazing and staff very friendly. Chicken, pide, fresh juice and Adana Kebap was very nice.
One of the urban turkish food houses, very popular with tourists, and nice food.
They have good service but they force serve you many dishes that are cost more than 200 tl
Good food, meat fresh, not that supper seasoned as supposed to be, hummus and babaganoush not that goodAbit too Expensive for the quality of the food .. nice service .. meal size is rather big ..
Always the best
Very good
Good service delicious 😋 and very cheap..
Expensive, food is ok
Very bad service, table full of food that you didnt ask for. Shisha with plastic pipe, disgusting. Never ever again
Quality is poor, overrated service, the only positive is for location. Fraud in invoice. So be aware when you pay.
This place is very very bad they stollen customer i called the police for them
Just had lunch here, iskender kebab and falafel salad, all was very tasty.Free warm bread with sauce and salad,best Ive had in Istanbul. Service was good, the place wasnt busy maybe cos being lunch and the bad weather , a coal fire nearby was much needed ,interesting interior, cosy sofas.
Food was actually good but they can’t speak English. At end of the service, they bring you a lot of fruits and sweets. Apparently they charge whatever you consume but the problem is some tables did not touch anything for hours. I doubt they will throw it away. Looked unacceptable to leave all those sweets and fruits on tables for hours.
It took 5 staff members (including what they call a sheesha master) + 2 different sheeshas to get the taste right. They then kept trying to push plates, meals, and water bottles in attempts to increase the bill total. Not impressed at all.... DO NOT TRUST THE REVIEWS FROM PEOPLE WITH ANYTHING LESS THAN 20 REVIEWS BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING THEM UP.
Very beautiful place! Service was great! I do recommend this place 100% !!
Guys be careful!!! Dont eat in this place. Its a big fraud. They will bring you food which you didnt order after you want the bill and they will tell you first its free. After you got the bill they will charge you a big amount for the things you even didnt order. If they do this you dont pay and call the police. This people are very bad for tourist people. Never again
It is only a tourist trap. Service quality and the treatment is very poor. It is also true that they charge for extra food. Tell them to take back the food that you didn’t order. I would definitely not recommend.
It looks luxurious feom the outside, and its very expensive.
Very expensive, rude stuff they bring u food that u never asked for and charge u for it
Food was not delicious, shawarma was very bad, the only good thing in this restaurant wasths sofa that we sat on, price is exegerated. I dont recommend to visit this restaurant at all.
Good variety of food , not Worthing the value of bills
Very good there is a good waiter He did our hospitality beautifull ...I wish I knew his name but he is thin and his hair is black and his skin is dark ...
Good food and good service
Very nice place but you should be careful for what you pay
It was really bad resturant, crew were thief and disrespectful. They come many times to put order we didnt asked for it, also the prise wes so expensive. I don’t recommend any one come to this place.
Loved it... been twice so fare on my trip to Istanbul.... staff are friendly food is great and just love to chill out with the shisha... definitely my fists shop on my visit to Istanbul.
Its really a horrible place, they are trying as much as they can to take money out of you, they are even playing with the receipts as the total bill was not matching the total of the items
Lovely wide placeFood there is very good and service also
Very good place & the *Shisha* is more than perfect, the staff , the fruit, Turkish coffee, absolutely Great 👌🏽👌🏽
Nice place 24h food . Good breakfast
Run away!!!The worst restaurant ever. He is a big thief. I ordered around 250 LT and bill was fake 600 LT.Fake price.
Great place to visit. Shisha, food, and service are 5 stars.
If I can put less than a one star it would be fair enough ! Its the cave of 40 thieves without Ali baba ! They will try to rob you in every possible way ! Starting from ordering some items which you do not order... serving bad quality food.. and even by bluffing in the final invoice !!! Extremely awful place..
We spend 105 euros (a little more than 20e per person!) but the price is not comparable to the food and service - too much money. In conclusion the whole experience was not good, I would never go again to this place for any reason and I dont recommend this restaurant, not even to my worst enemy.In a few words...you should better try McDonalds on the main road...opposite the restaurant. That bad!!
It is a terrible place to eat dinner, bread was not fresh and was cold, they cheat on the bill by charging for bottled water was not asked for, one and half the menu price claiming they brought one and half the food and again was not asked for, do not be tricked, dont dine there.
Good Shisha. Really really expensive. The fruits were never ordered but cost more than 150 TL (40 US Dollars). Staff is okay and speaks many international languages.
Very unacceptable to offer meduim quality food and fool the guests with items they did not order. Maybe a level of professionalism will be better
Slow service , bad food , cumpolsery tipping,(they charge you with the bill) ignorant staff. Even to my enemy I would not recommend.
Very good place but they fill up the table with 10 kinds of fruit each 30₺ without asking be careful
Ok, but dear, no shisha menu, bring out food. Dont know what i paid for & how much.
Nice restaurant & excellent serviceAnd they speak English this is the important thing 😁
Avoid Run and do not use them, they rush you, they don’t show you the menus and overcharge you for the terrible qualityO and do not touch the fruit plates tell them take it away!Avoid this place there are many great places to smoke a pipe and eat quality food like Wooden Bistro Cafe in Levent top !
A bit expensive but good food. The price is because of the place I think... Its near the bridge...
The food was good and the staff also was good but you have to ask about anything if its free or not. after we end the dinner they put a dishes of fruit on the table and told us this is for us. I said ok then they gave me the bill and it was not free and i have to buy for it. I really like the restaurant but after this i hate it.
Delicious food and The staff are nice
A casual shisha cafe with friendly yet busy staff, not bad but not my favorite
Wouldn’t recommend because of the crowded areas inside.Food and shishas are average as well
Not recommended, low quality service, bad treatment additionally truly bad shisha even its a Shisha place, overrated prices. Please do not visit the place, so far the worst accross the area.
Nice sheesha byt food not always nice
Very good nargilla but after 10 pm the atmosphere not good for families
Theft. 75 lira for nargila, make you full table of fruit and if you touch it will pay for it. Nice Idea to make you pay more for things you dont need. 2 nargila with tea 300 lira.
Amazing food, good hookah and great service!! What more can you ask for! —-from United States
Very expensive, they will fill your table with stuff you didnt order as a complimentary, then you will be surprised that these stuff are more expensive than the original order, they reminded me of the real Ali Baba story
I ordered a watermelon juice and i was surprised that it wa like water only not even juice , it costs 25 tl which is high for bad juice and service , i will not visit ali baba again
Nice place for tourists, over priced
Fun to spend time with friends. Hookah, tea, coffee and sweets.Plus a very delicious food if you had to.
Nice restaurant but becarfull nothing free. They put dises in the table without asking then they charge you. Nothing complementary. Finally review you bill they may charge you twice
Not good shisha, but good place
