The place is in a good position along the istiklal street. It has quite the space for indoor and outdoor sitting. The service was quick, and almost you can see the ingredients cooked in front of you. The staff were super friendly and quick to respond. They were very attentive. The food was fresh, tasty, and an OK size. The prices were a bit on the high side for me personally, but it is worth the spending.

A restaurant, somewhat inconspicuous, right on the pedestrian zone.
We always sat in the side street and ended the day there.
The waiters there are super friendly, even despite slight language barriers. Drinks came very quickly and you could take your time ordering the food.
The food also came quite quickly and was very well prepared. And it tasted very good.
It doesn't matter whether you order meat or vegetarian.
If you go to this restaurant, you should also know that they don't serve alcohol.
We can highly recommend the restaurant

I stopped here one evening, totally unsure of what I wanted to eat.  I normally check the reviews of a restaurant before going in but took a chance here, and it was worth it.  There is a wide variety on the menu.  Staff are very pleasant and friendly.  Efficient service.  Nice atmosphere.  Despite being located on the busy İstiklal Avenue, it was peaceful inside.  Clean.  I had the Grilled Koftah (meatballs) which were so good.  This came with french fries, yoghurt, muhammara, hummus, grilled tomatoes and green pepper.  There are pictures of the items on the menu which did help me choose what to have.  Perfect.  Freshly prepared and neatly presented.  Lovely meal.  I really enjoyed it with a refreshing Schweppes Limon.  Would highly recommend for sure.
