This restaurant is a hidden gem in Istanbul, serving some of the best pide I&#39;ve ever tasted. The crust is perfectly crispy, and the fillings are fresh and flavorful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Turkish food!

Nice spot by the river. Had the grilled fish lunch special. The portion was huge, honestly more than I could finish. For the price, you really get a lot.

The servers were really on top of the unlimited drinks. My glass was never empty, which was great because the house red actually paired nicely with the grilled meats. A bit noisy inside, but the drink service was spot-on.

Along with excellent shisha, they serve delicious traditional Turkish dishes and tasty cocktails, making it a wonderful all-around spot.

The location of the restaurant is fantastic, making it easy to enjoy a meal before heading out to see the sights. The staff were friendly and attentive, enhancing the dining experience.

Ibrahim the manager really knows his stuff. He suggested a local red that paired perfectly with the lamb. Service was spot-on all evening.

Yasin and his team were so warm and helpful, even with the language barrier.

The &#39;Kesdovic&#39; dessert was a nice surprise. The cake around the ice cream had a great texture, not too sweet. You can really taste the thought that went into it.

The sarma was pretty good, with a decent amount of filling. The yağlama was also fine, a solid example of the local cuisine. The place itself is pleasant enough for a quiet meal.

Solid pasta with a view. That&#39;s it. Came for the sunset, stayed for the carbonara. A bit pricey, but the terrace spot was worth it.

Great spot on top of the Dere Suites. The view is incredible. We had a bottle of their house red with the grilled sea bass&mdash;the wine was a bit light for the fish, but it was still a pleasant evening. A nice place to unwind.

Been coming here for years, and the portions are still as generous as ever. It&#39;s what keeps me coming back. You get a proper meal for your money, especially around here.

The d&ouml;ner was piping hot and fresh. The sauce really stood out to me, creamy with a nice tang. It&#39;s a solid, reliable spot for a quality bite.

A solid spot in &Uuml;rg&uuml;p. The live music was a nice surprise, really added to the vibe. The meze platter was fresh, especially the eggplant dip. Service was friendly, though a bit slow when it got busy. Would go back for the music alone.

Service was really attentive, they checked on us a few times without being overbearing. Food had good flavor, the lamb dish was nice and tender. Portions are pretty big for what you pay, we actually had to take some home.

Having dined here through the Michelin guide, I can confidently say the food was well-cooked and flavorful, with plenty of vegetarian options. A great choice for anyone looking for a memorable meal in Istanbul.
