Giritli - Istanbul

The appetizers are exquisite—fresh and plentiful. The staff is hardworking, friendly, and professional. It's also wonderful that the place is animal-friendly. You'll notice adorable street animals happily enjoying their meals outside. I really liked this place; the prices are reasonable for the level of service provided. I wish everyone operated like this!

We visited the restaurant on a Monday evening in November. We sat in the winter garden outside; the weather was nice and the atmosphere was calm. We ordered two fixed menus, which were more than enough to fill us up, and the items that were served were generally delicious. We ordered a bottle of 35 cl. The bill came to 420.

They serve average food that is not special. You have to pay attention that they serve fixed menu(They didn't specify while booking) and you don't have a choice except for the main course. Portions are small and expensive. The waiters spoke fast and said we could leave if we didn't prefer, which I found rude. The ambiance was ok.

Beautiful little oasis in Sultanahmet! More negatives than positives, though. Only a set menu is offered, options big and small , 60€ or 50€, with the main difference being unlimited alcohol and some extra mezes for the big. This kind of meal does not cost this much money in Istanbul. I only went because it was a friend 's birthday and this restaurant had sentimental value for him. Service was extremely slow. Food was just ok, with small portions. They should absolutely not quote prices in euro. The photo is the small option for 3 people.

The food was just Okay, but the SERVICE was more than excellent!! I don’t think the prices match the quality of food, but if you aim to have a private spot to enjoy slow dinners and long talks I would highly recommend it, but if you are basically searching for any authentic delicious food, then sorry No!
