A very friendly and cosy place! I was so tired and they brought me a really big great chicken salad, with freshly grilled chicken breast!) it was so tasty! All waiters are so friendly. And no additional fees were added. (You know, in other places it happened even when written 'no fees'....). I really enjoyed my lunch, thanks a lot to all the personnel! And the dessert was so delicious as well! (I was so hungry so didn't make a picture of the salad)). I wish you all the best! Olga

We got into this place by accident, but to our surprise, as for a bistro, everything in this location is very wonderful. The guys, waiters and bartenders, are friendly and very positive, and they communicate freely in English and even a little in Russian. We were not obtrusively welcomed, we sat down at a good table, I note right away that the boarding in this institution is almost always complete, on subsequent occasions we reserved a table in advance for the evening. On our first day, we met the owner of this bistro, his name is Massa Hikmet, an endearing young man, it was a pleasure to chat. Immediately upon ordering, guests are complimented with Turkish tortillas and various snacks (hummus, yogurt dressing with herbs, and dried tomatoes with spices) It's a +1 point at once, Oriental peoples know how to welcome guests and it's always nice. The menu is large, but there was nothing on the stop, mostly Turkish cuisine and a little European, mostly snacks. Alcohol is available in a wide range and for every taste. Hot salad, grilled Dorado and Sea bass, lula kebab, kefte, credit. The food is served quickly, which is very pleasing. Every evening there is a small pot show 🔥meat and vegetables are baked, and then served to the guests spectacularly😉Apple Turkish tea + Turkish baklava is always served during the calculation , thank you very much💪And in conclusion, thank you to this institution and especially a lot of🤝 it was a pleasure to meet you, thank you for the personal discount, it's always nice, everything is great, we wish you prosperity and, as I told you, 😉 take away neighboring points from competitors 😂 they are empty anyway.

We celebrated the anniversary on August 5th and were absolutely delighted! From the first minutes, I was captivated by the atmosphere. Everything is decorated with taste — you immediately feel at home, only in a very stylish version.: cozy sofas, colorful decorations, and a warm team. We were guided by the dishes and advised on the right amount. The portions are huge and beautifully served. Everything is delicious - meat, fish, traditional snacks (which, by the way, are served free of charge). We were lucky enough to see Testi kebab's bright presentation - we are impressed! The birthday girl was given a cake as a gift from the institution, accompanied by music, and small fireworks were lit. The owner of the establishment is a charismatic man who keeps his word, which makes him want to return to Massa Bistro again and again. To all those who are looking for a place to eat and relax in Sultanahmet, my most sincere recommendations!

When choosing an institution, we were guided by reviews and they did not disappoint. The cuisine is really delicious, large portions, very fast and courteous service. We went to this place throughout the whole vacation, even though it was not nearby, and we were very satisfied! At the meeting, they give flatbread and meze, and at the end tea and baklava, which is very pleasant and hospitable! Thanks to the staff and management of this bistro! If we return to Istanbul, then only here for lunch and dinner!

We came to Istanbul on a honeymoon and very carefully chose the places we planned to visit. Massa Bistro won over with reviews and ratings, and we did not lose. Excellent service, fast food delivery, no intrusiveness on the part of the staff. The cuisine is very tasty. We have already been there twice and both times we were very satisfied. The meat is not crammed with spices, tender, juicy. Grilled fish is beyond praise. As a compliment, a set of snacks is served at the beginning of the dinner and tea with baklava at the end. I would also like to mention the owner of this wonderful establishment, his involvement in the work of the restaurant, and his sensitivity towards customers. Thank you for your hospitality ❤️ We will definitely come back to you again!

We visited this restaurant and were absolutely delighted. I would like to mention the cuisine right away — each dish was prepared with soul and real skill. The taste, the presentation, the freshness of the products — everything is on top! But it wasn't just the food that made this evening special. The atmosphere in the restaurant deserves special mention: the cozy interior and attentive staff create a sense of celebration and coziness. Here you can have a romantic dinner, or gather with friends or family — the atmosphere is conducive to any meeting format. The service is also excellent: the waiters are polite and unobtrusive. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who appreciates delicious food, a cozy atmosphere and a warm attitude. We will definitely come back again!

We visited this restaurant today, very friendly and friendly staff, fast service, before serving the ordered dishes they brought us a pleasant compliment (hot tortillas, a set of hummus, vegetable sauces, cheese mass (I don't know what it's called, but delicious)). We ordered meat in a pot, serving 🔥, very tasty. At the end of the dinner, we were again complimented with tea and baklava) The prices correspond to the stated prices, but they are not high compared to other restaurants. Pleasant atmosphere, we had a very warm evening. Recommend 👍

We were in Istanbul looking for a place with a high rating and clear cuisine for the Russian soul. We found a place based on reviews, sat down at the table and saw the serving of dishes in pots, how warmly and enthusiastically the restaurant's audience reacted to the program (it was the restaurant, we can't call this a cool place bistro). We decided to order the same dish for ourselves.... Delicious, unreal! The staff is amazing, as friendly and welcoming as possible, attentive and interested in their guests. In this place, you can pay with our cards, without any problems! The place is definitely worth it, let's go back to Istanbul and come again! Many thanks and wishes of prosperity to the business, the owner of the establishment, Massa, we are very glad to meet you!

This place deserves high praise. The staff showed their best side: they were polite, attentive and not intrusive, which is especially pleasant. The prices were pleasantly surprised, considering the area. I was also pleased with the quality of the dishes. The restaurant offers discounts and compliments. The hookah in this establishment turned out to be excellent. Compared to other hookah bars in this location, it stands out for its better quality and more affordable price. In addition, a high-quality hookah is used here, which is not rewound with electrical tape and other materials. During his stay (more than a week) I visited more than 15 establishments, and this place took the first place in my assessment.

If you have a large company, they can even transfer someone so that you can all fit in, the helpful staff can give sweets and tea as a gift at the end of the meal. Definitely better than many places and not far from public transport, but the most important thing is that it's delicious.

Just 10 out of 10! We were greeted like family, prompted by the menu, and brought a lot as a complement: tortillas, meze, tea, and cunef. And tea again! The children are just delighted with the pide, but in fact, absolutely everything they ordered is delicious, satisfying, and the potty is spectacular. The tip was not included in the bill, for which special respect (but we left it anyway). We paid using a quarter code, which is another plus for the institution.

There is a show-serving for dishes in pots. The cafe is located in the shade, fans are working on the veranda. On a hot day, it's a salvation.

Not just a restaurant. It's a feeling you've been waiting for all year! 5 stars It seems that we go to Istanbul not only for impressions, but also for this feeling. The feeling when you are not a client, but a welcome guest visiting old friends. And each of our visits to this mass bistro is a confirmation of this! This place has magic. The magic created by the hands of brothers and sisters who put their soul into each dish. Have you ever tried a breakfast that smells of family and warmth? Their menu is not just a list of dishes, it's a symphony of flavors! All kinds of kebabs and dishes in pots with original serving and the very coffee that should start every day in Istanbul. And the service... It's not "warm" here, it's hot, like freshly baked pita bread! Huge greetings to Hikmet, a man with a huge heart who remembers all his guests. His smile and attention are the secret ingredient that is not on the menu, but which makes every meal truly festive. My husband Sergey and I have been returning here for years. And it's not just a habit — it's an indicator. It is an indicator of impeccable quality, consistently high level and the very atmosphere of home comfort, which is rare now. If you are in Istanbul, your way should be here. It's not just a point on the map, it's a state of mind. Thank you for every one of our "delicious" memories! We already miss you and we will definitely come back!

We arrived in Istanbul and turned our attention to the atmosphere of the place, passing it. We went in, had a pleasant atmosphere, attentive and empathetic manager paid attention to all the guests, while the entire staff of the establishment was no less polite and smiling, partially understanding Russian and fully English. We ordered food and beer, which is the most affordable in the area, everything was brought quickly and was very tasty. When asked to bring an invoice (by the way, payment is possible by QR code with Russian banks), they brought a compliment in the form of tea and baklava. In general, the place is bright, cozy and warm.👍🏻🔥

An excellent cozy place. A small one. There is a hall inside and a heated terrace with upholstered sofas. Excellent friendly staff, they know a little Russian. They'll tell you everything. Food, drinks, hookah - everything is delicious. The prices are pleasant. + they give great discounts and free compliments from the establishment (tortillas, sauces, drinks, sweets). All dishes are on the menu and are in Russian. Two large plasmas in the hall turned on the Champions League in the evening. There is not much choice in tobacco, but they do it well for Turkey, they change the coals. It smokes for a long time. 2 hookahs were counted at 500 lire each, 0.5 beer - 120 lire. They offered to call a taxi. There is a Wi-Fi connection. Of the minor disadvantages, there is only one toilet stall for everyone. And the hookah has disposable tubes, which is not so critical.

It is a very interesting and atmospheric restaurant, no one invites or pushes you here by force, as in other cafes, very friendly and helpful staff, with each visit a compliment of three or four types of snacks, very tasty traditional Turkish Turkish dishes and, importantly, simply huge portions, the cheapest beer in the area for bottling After paying the bill, you will definitely be served traditional Turkish tea and baklava as a compliment. You can pay the invoice using the qr code in St. Petersburg with any Russian bank card.

A very cozy cafe with delicious cuisine. The prices are comfortable for the center (we had dinner with kebab, chicken kebab and a flatbread with cheese and drank a glass of beer and came out for 2,400 lire). It is very convenient that you can pay via SPB. I would like to note that their alcoholic beverages are quite budget-friendly, compared to other establishments (beer 150 lire for 0.5). Very pleasant staff and fast service. In the end, we were treated to tea and baklava from the establishment. I liked the tea so much that it was even given to us.

Excellent establishment, reasonable prices (compared to many establishments in the city). The cuisine is delicious, but for an amateur, like any national cuisine. Iskender kebab is simply delicious, the meat melts in your mouth. In general, the taste-price ratio is an ideal option. There are beer and cocktails, draft ephesus - only 120 lira (in the vicinity of Istiklal, for example, prices are at least twice as high). 06/27/2025 the three of us ate for 3,545 lira (without alcohol it would have been almost a thousand cheaper). A bonus compliment from the establishment is apple tea and baklava.

It would seem nothing special and this place does not stand out among the thousands of cafes in the neighborhood. But as soon as you are seated at a table, you begin to feel the cordiality and hospitality of the waiters. They constantly clarify what to give, whether they liked everything, and bring a flatbread as a gift for the order. And at the end of the meal, we were also given drinks as a gift - beer for me, and homemade lemonade for my wife. Although, as I saw, they usually give tea) you can also pay using the SBP, which is very pleasant, not everyone has a foreign bank card, and union pay does not work everywhere.
