The most tourist trap and overhyped restaurant in our 4 nights in Istanbul. The view is not even that good.

1. Price is double compared with other restaurants.
2. Food is BLAND. This is the only restaurant I had to use salt and pepper.
3. This is not a cosy and chill restaurant.
4. Service is slow and bad. Staff only looks after whites and those who look rich. So they can get higher service charge.
5. Staff does not care about good service. They only want to get their service charge.
6. We already paid TRY 4200 and service charge is still not included. Our total bill was TRY 5200. We should have gone to Nusret Restaurant at least that restaurant is known internationally.
7. The most bitter tasting Lemonade drink.
8. No free appetizer. For the price of their food, They only gave cold bread. The same bread that is fed to the Seagulls.
9. Can’t even add ice to our coke.
10. You don’t even know who is attending you as they kept on calling other staff to attend you.
11. We were supposed to order dessert, but we decided we just want to get out of this place.
12. Ambience is similar to a fastfood, but service is much worst. If you want good ambience don’t go here.  Better go to a fast food restaurant if you are going here.
13. Street vendors gave us better service than these people.

Seven Hills offers a unique and inviting experience, blending rich cultural history with warm, cozy ambiance. The highlight of the restaurant is the traditional Turkish coffee. The strong, aromatic coffee, with its thick, foamy consistency, is a delightful experience for coffee lovers.

Seven Hills has a relaxed atmosphere and very friendly and professional staff. Thanks a lot to all of them, especially to Ahmed and Faruk. It is my birthday today and they congratulated me with a delicious cake, singing happy birthday. It was unforgettable. They made my day!

We will come back again! Highly recommended!

Seven Hills Restaurant in Istanbul is an absolute gem! The meat platter we had was beyond delicious—succulent, juicy, and full of flavor. The variety of meats, from grilled lamb to perfectly cooked kebabs, was mouthwatering, and every bite left us wanting more.

Our servers, Sahin and Ozan, were fantastic. They provided exceptional service attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. They made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal, which really made the experience stand out. They even say words from my language to make us feel more comfortable.

The best halva we've ever had was the perfect way to end our meal. It was so rich, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Definitely a must-try!

And, of course, the 360-degree view from the restaurant is unparalleled. The view of the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque is absolutely stunning and made the experience even more special. Seven Hills offers the perfect combination of amazing food, excellent service, and a breathtaking view. I can't recommend it enough!

Our waiter, Zafer, took great care of us, and Ahmed, the floor manager, was also great. The fish, presented cooked with fire and covered with salt, was unique. Spectacular 360° view of the entire city.  You will need a cab or local help to get to the restaurant, as the hotel and restaurant are not easy to find on your own!

Afterwards, you can go upstairs to the roof  top to have a few pictures taken of you and your party by their staff! Enjoy the food, the service, and the views!

Such an incredible restaurant! We got the octopus casserole, mixed appetizer plate, and mixed grill. Everything was so good. And the best part was our server Zafer treated us like royalty. Incredible service, great food, and great atmosphere was views of the water and the mosques. Highly recommend!
