Best place in Turkey!! I was a little bit underwhelmed with the food so far in Turkey, but this restaurant saved my opinion. I have really loved the food. I had the mixed grill for one and I wish I would’ve ordered it for two. The food is wonderful. Be sure not to miss the hummus with pomegranate unbelievable. Faruk was so kind and attentive!

We came once based on our guide recommendations and we like it so much compared to the other meals we had here that we had to come back a second time! We tried a few of their dishes and nothing disappointed. Our waiter Yusuf was also very attentive and made sure everything was delivered to our liking. We won't have a chance to come back a 3rd time as our trip is ending but we'll for sure come back if we are back in Istanbul.

First night in Istanbul and I can say Galeyan out the bar high!  First, the staff are amazing and so helpful.  Faruk, helped us order and when he delivered the food he explained everything.  Great discussion on food and sense of humor !  The food was amazing and I cannot say enough about the flavors, quality of meat and vegetables  cooked to perfection!!  The Ramadan desert of apple Baklava and vanilla ice cream put us in a food coma. Thank you again for an amazing experience!

Delicious food, in a nice and cozy atmosphere. I can only recommend the lamb alanazik, with small bites of lamb served on top of a yogurt and eggplant dip. This was just divine, great with flatbread. We also received a small desert on the house - apple baklava with dondurma ice cream - really good! The other ordered dishes were also fantastic. Service was attentive and friendly. Prices are a bit higher, but reflected in the attention to detail, ingredients and taste.
