Was Sujata Ghoshal at Serbethane a mag?
This spot was our Tour lunch spot and what a great one! Cozy interiors with a very friendly staff. Their bread and dips were amazing Tried their 'Lentil Soup ' which was basically Dal for me, an Indian, but was comforting in the cold weather. For mains had their Pasta and Lamb Kebab which came with a side of potatoes For dessert got a nice little piece of Pistachio Baklava which was the perfect end for the perfect... View all feedback.

This restaurant has an amazing location, just off the beaten path from the blue mosque (down a quiet little alley) and the service and the food are both top notch. I’ve been in Istanbul for 4 days and this is the best food I’ve had so far and the pricing is very reasonable. I would highly recommend!! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We went here 3 times and twice the shisha was really good but 3rd time it was horrible. Apple tea was really good
One of the best restaurants we visited in Istanbul while on holiday! Amazing kebabs and great service! The whole feel of the place with its old world charm was beautiful and relaxing!! Definitely worth a visit!
In the quite by lanes close to Blue mosque, before Arasta bazar, we came across this cafe. They have a good variety of food options and is pocket friendly as well. Staff here was very friendly. Going by their recommendations, we enjoyed our meals thoroughly. After having a taste of food here, we went there for both lunch and dinner everyday. We tried their chicken in curry sauce, chicken shish, lamb shish, beef in casserole and few other options from the menu. Not a single item was disappointing. Chicken in curry sauce was our favorite, ensured to have it in every meal.Also tried their sherbet and desserts.Would highly recommend this place.
Lovely Turkish cafe and restaurant ! Right next to Arasta bazaar! We were served a set menu as we were on a tour , lovely mezze and lentil soup , sheesh kebap, pasta in white sauce and Bakhlava for dessert. Hope to come back some day and dine at this place !
We stumbled upon to this amazing restaurant by chance and surprisingly had a delicious experience. Our server was very friendly and recommended us one the traditional dish Tavuk Testi Kebabi. It turned out to be quite interesting and tasty dish. The whole experience made us comfortable enough to stay for few hours enjoying Sheeha, hot beverage and food. <br/ <br/ I highly recommend Serbethane if you are in old Istanbul.

Great service, food was amazing! They stay open late! We were looking for the traditional Manti (ravioli with lamb and yogurt sauce) and Lahmacun (pizza like Turkish dish), they had both and were delicious! The rose hip tea was delicious too. We didn’t try it but they had shisha and smelled good!
Çok güzel very nice people with amazing food. I recommend this place for anyone in Istanbul. They treat you well!
Nice place to visit. The food was ok and the shisha also. The prices are above average and the major annoying thing was that people waiting for your last bite so they can take the dishes away. The moment you put your cutlery on your plate, they come and pick it up. I don't like to be rushed while I didn't finish my food. Also I ordered Döner with rice and salad as on the menu, but i got bulgur instead of rice and when I asked they said we don't have rice today.
Thank you so much for the wonderful service and delicious food; I had 2 meals here and thoroughly enjoyed both of them.
Easily the best restaurant in sultanahmet and best that I've been to in Istanbul. Food was all tasty and great, being affordable as well, especially for the area its in. The shisha is excellent, by far the best I've had. The service is great, all the employees are super hospitable and nice. For sure will be back here next time we're in Istanbul.
