"To start off this restaurant is wonderful. Yesterday my girlfriend and I have experienced the tasting menu at 1450 TL per person. PRICE: 2x tasting menu 2 glasses of wine were 3720 TL 138 USD. The food was really tasty. Portions are huge. At the end of the experience we literally couldn't fit any more desser, so unfortunately we left some. Starters are really good freshly baked bread with 5 dips including home made hummus, muammara, babagannus and 2 others dips. They bring more bread every time you finish it. There is also exceptionall black olive spread made from really matured olives. I have never before tasted such strong olives spread. Great job. As to hot starters. They are great too. Sailors roll with honey is worth every bite and stuffed dried eggplant surely is interesting. Main courses goose kebap and lamb neck with plum where delicious. Goose kebap will surprise you, as it is originall and delicious. Lamb neck is sweet and the meat is literally falling apart at it's own. Delicious. After that you find it hard to breath as your stomach is already full. Then comes the dessert. Levine some special halva. Really good. Sweet, pistachio, delicious. Paired with good red wine. Mmm Additionaly every meal is explained to you in details. So every time you know what you eat. The scenery it is cosy, chairs are comfortable, and the lovely street next to the restaurant adds charm. The bar is straight out of Indiana Jones movie. The service amazing. The waitress are professional and friendly as is the manager Mustafa. Even tho there was a small slip in the order of the meals on tasting menu. It didn't affect our experience. We are all humans after all. It was late and the waiter had every right to be tired. So we don't mind at all, as apart from that, he truly was excellent. One of the greatest and friendliest waiter I had the occasion to interact with. Moreover because of the situation we were given some extra dessert as a form of compensation which really wasn't necesary, but it was a nice touch. Overall this is an excellent restaurant. A gem in the city center. I think for all the reason above it managed to be placed in The Michelin Guide 2023. You definitely should visit it. Thanks for the experience."
