I had an exceptional dining experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely phenomenal, with each dish surpassing my expectations. The standout dish for me was the Oriental Clay Pot Kebab. Not only was it served in a unique and theatrical way that felt like a show, but the taste was out of this world. The combination of flavors and the tender meat made it a memorable highlight of the meal. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend trying the Oriental Clay Pot Kebab if you visit!

our favorite meal in istanbul thusfar! beautifully decorated little place with the sweetest staff who were really friendly and attentive. we had their famous claypot kebab, the harem chicken (with the yogurt sauce), and the grilled eggplant. and i must say they were all absolutely delicious!! we definitely overate but we couldn’t resist. the restaurant also provided complementary turkish tea at the end of our meal and a dessert which was a tasty surprise. a little pricey but i would say it’s worth it. couldn’t recommend this place more!

Everything was amazing. The atmosphere was very cozy and warm, which was nice on a cold night. The staff was very attentive and helpful in explaining what all the dishes were. The food itself was also amazing.  My husband and I split the clay pot kebab with beef, and it was plenty of food for the both of us.  On top of that, the presentation of the dish was super cool! The desserts were all amazing, but my favorite was the katmer, I'd never tried it before, and it was so good. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for great food, great service, and a great atmosphere!
