An incredible restaurant is a real discovery for gourmets and connoisseurs of the atmosphere! I was struck by the exquisite cuisine: meat and fish dishes simply melt in my mouth, and Turkish cuisine dishes immerse me in the atmosphere of distant eastern countries. The service is at the highest level — the waiters are attentive and unobtrusive, they feel the wishes of the guests. I would also like to mention a gorgeous hookah: smoky, with a rich taste. And they also create magic here — upon request, they arrange an amazing show with soap bubbles! This adds a touch of fairy tale and delight to the evening. In conclusion, there is a pleasant surprise from the establishment: delicious gifts that leave a warm aftertaste after dinner. I will definitely come back again and will be happy to recommend this place to my friends!

It's just a wonderful place! We are in Istanbul for just a couple of days and just happened to come here for dinner — and we were absolutely delighted! We were greeted very warmly. The young man at the entrance speaks excellent Russian, helped me figure out the menu, told me everything and prompted me. The service is excellent, the food is delicious! In addition to what we ordered, they brought us snacks and treated us to watermelon, which was very pleasant. 🥰 And today is my friend's birthday, and they arranged a real little celebration for her — they brought out sweets to the music, congratulated her, and created an incredible mood! ❤️ Thank you so much for your hospitality, attention and atmosphere. It is from such moments that the impressions of Istanbul are formed. We definitely recommend it and we will be happy to come back here again! 🇹🇷❤️

It's an amazing place! At first we were suspicious of the "touts" from the street, but we were enveloped in such care and warmth) The dishes are very tasty (we took two different kebabs), the portions are excellent in size, we also wrapped them up and brought as many as 6 mugs of tea for two and baklava — delicious! You can pay in rubles, dollars, and lira — it's very convenient, the exchange rate is standard on Google. They also drew a Cheburashka with a heart .

What is important right away is who will look for cheaper in the area, then there is no point - the prices are the same everywhere. That's why we go in, we don't pass by. The food is very tasty, the portions are large, I ate too much with my daughter. The service was excellent, and our comfort was constantly monitored. The staff is friendly, because it was the first time, they made compliments, delicious tea to taste, Turkish snacks. You can also pay with them by transfer using the SBP.

A great place to watch football with cool company! The Siva Oyster Fish restaurant in Istanbul has become a real godsend for us! We lived literally above it, so we came here all the time, and every time we were satisfied. The atmosphere here is incredibly cozy and lively, ideal for meetings with friends. We hung out here with the Kents, watched the World Cup, ate and had a great time. Special thanks to the staff and the hosts — they are very friendly and always ready to help with the selection of dishes. We were treated to compliments from the establishment several times, which was very pleasant. And what a delicious beer there is! In general, if you are looking for a place with good cuisine, warm atmosphere and great service in the center of Istanbul, feel free to come!

Excellent staff. We were greeted by the most customer-oriented administrator, recommended the dishes, and throughout the visit he was interested in our comfort. The seafood is fresh and delicious. The shrimp in butter, octopus, perch in salt, and dorado were all cooked beautifully. We were treated to baklava and tea. I recommend you to visit.

We fell for the excellent reviews and were very sorry. We wanted to eat fish, because the restaurant positions itself as a fish restaurant. The menu is very poor. We didn't really want to eat, I wanted to eat small fish with cocktails and wine. The wine felt like it was diluted with water. Cocktails are so-so, for a weak three, and please note that this is not the case everywhere in Istanbul. Shrimps in oil are the only very tasty position. The oysters were good, but it was a benefit not to the establishment, but to the sea. Everything else sucked. They ordered a mutton, it's just a disgrace, they brought 6 skinny fish for a horse price tag, they waited for half an hour for this squalor, see the photo. They paid a little more than a lot for just nothing. Cocktails are so-so, snacks too. If you prefer the smiles and sophistication of the staff to common sense, then you are definitely here. They didn't understand why the grades were so high.

I didn't like it. The music was loud, and it was difficult to listen to the other person. They asked for a reduction, but it was reduced only symbolically. The salmon was cooked without any special frills. Just a dry grilled steak and simple vegetables next to it. It tasted a little bitter. We ordered efes beer. They didn't bring it for a long time, although all the dishes were already on the table. They asked for it themselves - they brought it, but not efes, but something else, and it was bitter. The receipt included corona beer. The shrimps in oil did not impress the taste. We ordered oysters. I'll just make a guess here, I'm not blaming the restaurant. After 1.5 days, the symptoms of poisoning began. Oysters are the only thermally unprocessed food we ate in Istanbul. It is difficult to say whether they were poisoned in this particular restaurant, they flew away the next day. But you need to be careful with seafood here. The price tag turned out to be much higher than average. It's unclear why.

The food is not bad, not to say that it would be wah! I was more outraged that a check of 5,000 lire included 700 lire of service fee! Robbery! I don't recommend it. There is no service at all. (Except that they are practically dragged into the restaurant by force)))

The first impression is a dirty place in the old town (burnt sofas, sticky tables, dirty napkins). I decided to give food a chance. Breaded squid costs 325 lira (1300 rubles), 6 rings - tasteless + expensive! Turkish tea and freshly squeezed juice for 40 and 150 liras

My sister and I decided to have a snack in the historical center of the city and chose among several restaurants. When we decided to look at the menu at this place, their employee came out to us and advertised the dishes as usual. Everything was fine until we decided that we would go see other places and left. When he saw this, this employee started shouting at our backs and began to protest in Russian with mats. We wouldn't have paid attention to it and made problems if he hadn't sent us a foul language in the end, again in Russian (obviously he wanted to make sure we understood him exactly). The young man did not take into account the fact that we know Turkish. We returned to the institution, where I asked the other employees to call the senior, but they just smiled and did nothing to help, although I spoke their language and they understood me perfectly. That employee was constantly trying to get our attention to himself and spoke in Russian, suggesting to us that we just misunderstood) Russian Russian is our native language, but we couldn't understand the Russian mats, or what? No one apologized to us, everyone just stood and watched. Of course, such arrogant people will not spoil our mood, but we will not leave this situation like this. And we wish your employees to learn how to talk politely to all people, and not be nice only to those who pay money. It's disgusting 🤮

Good afternoon. We were walking past this place (I can't call it a "restaurant") and decided to look at the menu. A man came up to us and began to suggest that it was worth a try. We said no and decided to move on, at that moment he ran off somewhere. Crossing the road, we hear him shouting, "Girl, girls.. and he starts swearing.. Maybe it wouldn't have bothered us, well, he swears, well, it's bad for a person.. But he started calling us names (obscene language). I'm sorry, of course, but where do we call strangers names!? What kind of "delicious" food can we talk about if a person is rude and swears obscenities.? Of course, we decided not to leave like that and return to find the elder in their "restaurant". But it wasn't there.. all the staff just looked on and smiled. 😳😳🤯 My sister speaks excellent Turkish and they understand her, but we didn't even hear a simple reply - sorry! People? What's going on!? How can such employees be hired? What kind of customer orientation are we talking about? Do you want to sit comfortably and enjoy the atmosphere? Walk past this place..
