I do not give 5 stars to catering... fundamentally... but I couldn't resist here. I liked the quality - really homemade food. And it is 2 times cheaper than in a cafe. We even came here to have lunch the next day. Lentil soup and chickpeas have become a must-have meal. Everything else was sampled... It's different every time. Everything is very tasty. A little oil is a lot... but ... on vacation, you can enjoy yourself and.... delicious. There was no heartburn. A similar institution was tried in Kadikoy (a little further than McDonald's) and then it was found (they lived in the Fatih area). Since we don't know Turkish, we pointed and showed the number of servings (1) and they put it on us. There are a lot of locals here. After that, the cafes practically stopped going to kebabs... and there are trays to take away. Stuffed zucchini turned out to be tastier than peppers. So make sure to come in once. We spent 156, 250 and 300 lire for lunch for three of us. We drank coffee in pastry shops with a cool bagel. Here the pastry is made with sugar, not honey.

It is very tasty and satisfying, the portions are large and, most importantly, not expensive. You can pay using the QR code in the Letim app.

The corbs were especially affected by the highland corbs.the only minus side was that the corba plates were very simple aluminum, it would have been a better impression if they were porcelain.a typical public restaurant

A great place to get to know the local cuisine and local flavor for a very reasonable price. There are always a lot of people of all stripes, from hard workers and policemen to very decent-looking gentlemen - the place is clearly trusted, so you won't get poisoned with food)) Huge portions, delicious, fast - if I come to Istanbul again, I will definitely come here again.

An inexpensive dining room is exactly a dining room, not a cafe or a restaurant. You can have a quick and very inexpensive snack. The check for two was in the region of 70 lira. I will not say that it is very tasty, but you can eat. The food can be said to be homemade.

It turns out that you can't choose at the counter for a long time, they may not serve what you ordered, the attitude is frankly boorish. The staff discussed us in Turkish, believing that we would not understand what they were talking about. Due to the air conditioners, the dishes cool down quickly. An ordinary canteen, inexpensive and delicious.

It's quite edible. I take off 2 stars for opacity. Secondly, the dessert cost 650 Turkish lira. Additionally, they took 3 teas (which, by the way, is not on the menu), for which they gave another 90 lira. The check was not given, the cashier pretended that he did not understand absolutely what was wanted from him. The next day we had lunch in Lokantasi on Istiklal - absolutely different impressions.

There is a feeling that we were tricked for money after seeing that we were tourists. With such a cost of dishes, a check of 650 liras is a bit expensive. Although I can't say exactly what we ate. The quality of the food is normal, but without enthusiasm.

An old and popular canteen. The food is not bad, but you shouldn't expect any frills.

The usual dining room, the portions are large, 550 lire came out for two for the second and for the salad. The pickles were a little sour to my taste, but it's a matter of taste.

Affordable prices, I would even say very much. At the same time, everything is delicious and large portions (I didn't even finish the soup). It's like a dining room inside. For 300 lire, you can eat well together.

We stumbled upon this place by chance. The prices are very pleasant in comparison with the rest. Everything we've tried is delicious. But this is not a restaurant, this is a dining room. Like our mu-mu or a rake. Take a tray, put everything you need, and at the end of the way, the payment is made at the checkout. Baklava is delicious. The meat dishes are excellent. Ps: Keep an eye on the calculation of prices at the checkout :)

Guys, I can say that it's delicious, it seems like the portions are large... But the theatrical production at the box office still influenced the final score. The cashier with his eyes closed counted the amount of food so quickly that there were two feelings: either he has a good memory, or.... But it seems to me that the latter is still the case...

I took two dishes and a Coke. Of course, I can't remember the name, but it was an ordinary yogurt with herbs, something like pasta in white sauce and cola. I paid 396 lire. I was very surprised when I later saw that it was difficult to find dishes there more expensive than 100 lira (cola, as I understood it, cost 15). The check, of course, was also not given) a colleague picked up a couple of trays for 200 lire for me) well, in principle, it is edible.
