I’d been disappointed by the restaurants in Istanbul for their tendency to not only treat tourists dismissively, but even try to charge higher prices than they would for locals.

So this restaurant is a pleasant surprise and I’m glad our food tour guide recommended it. I enjoyed all the dishes, especially the lahmacums (perfect with lemon!). The staff were all friendly and attentive, and the owner/manager made sure we felt welcome.

Highly recommend!

Thank you for a lovely meal. By far best meal and price all week. Food was lovely and generous portions. I tried my first turkish coffee which the staff provided as complimentary. You always know its a good restaurant when it's filled with locals!

The Bitlisli was recommended by a local so we stopped by for dinner.  The place was full, but a spot was found for us. The food was delicious and staff was friendly and very attentive. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it. 5/5

“The restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff. Despite being busy, the service was quick and efficient.

We ordered a mixed kebab platter featuring perfectly cooked lamb and chicken, paired with a plate of exceptional hummus. The dishes were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

The portions were generous, and the overall experience was excellent. Highly recommended for great food and service!”
