Great place! We highly recommend it!)
We found it by rating on the maps, we did not expect it to be so friendly, tasty and atmospheric.
Below is a little more detailed:
The place is small, inside a cozy street, easy to find.
There is a terrace and seats inside the restaurant.
You can pay in cash and by card (including SBP).
The places are comfortable, everything is clean and cozy.
The food is given away quickly. The choice of dishes is large.
It's delicious here, the price-quality ratio.
The owner, Massa, and his team are very friendly and cohesive, while the service is level and unobtrusive.
For me, it is always a good indicator if there are a lot of people in a restaurant in a tourist area. That's exactly how it is here. At the dinner hour, only 1 small table for two people was available. People in large companies stood in line to eat.
The staff is attentive to the children, supports the conversation and organized a national dance to the theme music.
We recommend it!)
Of the minuses: French fries require the attention of the cook) are a little damp. But this is not critical for us, it is better to eat meat in Istanbul)

We found massa near our hotel.
It 's very atmospheric , clean , and it 's so delicious ! We took 9 dishes, all the tastiest. The cocktail is high , the hookah is fragrant , smoky ! The dishes were brought within 15 minutes , the service is excellent!
Let's try breakfast tomorrow!
There was a full landing, which speaks to the reputation of the restaurant. A heat gun is working on the veranda. Warm , cozy , delicious ! The owner of the restaurant greets you at the entrance , which is captivating from the very first minutes !
Nizhny Novgorod recommends it! teşekkür etmek!

A good place, beer for 120 lire, cheaper than anywhere else. The food is delicious, fast and simultaneous serving of dishes, Meze is brought free of charge when ordering food. There is a hookah. The music is not only Turkish, but also European. A very pleasant place.
They don't cheat, they don't add anything extra to the bill, they checked them, how many beers they ordered, so much was in the bill. Everyone from our company was given a present when they left, it was very pleasant.
Hospitable and helpful staff and host.

Undisputed 5 stars.
The waiters are efficient, but not fussy. Friendly, but not intrusive. The kitchen is excellent, everything is done with both the mind and the heart. It is only advisable to correct the menu: delicious small cutlets of chopped meat in sauce cannot be translated either as "meatballs" or as "meatballs". This offends this dish. :))
A pleasant impression on a tourist intimidated by different guidebooks is provided by free compliments from the restaurant served before the main dishes (flatbread with different sauces) and after those (tea and sweets). The bill will only include what you ordered, and at the price you saw on the menu.
The bill will be served to you quickly, but so that you have time to relax after a delicious meal. It shows a respectful attitude towards the guest.
Prices, given the location of the restaurant, the quality of cuisine and service, small treats from the institution, are very humane.
In one phrase: "Thank you, everything was very tasty!" :))
PS. One of the dishes is cooked with guests under ... "Kalinka"! :))

Great place!
Somehow it so happened that we came in once a couple of years ago, and now the fans of this place)
The food is very tasty, the portions are huge, the staff and the host are great guys. The music is pleasant. I'm usually not a fan of sitting, but somehow I stay here for 2-3 hours.
What to add - I overeat every time, it's hard to walk. Now I'm thinking about kebab with eggplant - drooling...

If you are looking for good, delicious Turkish cuisine without dilution, you are here. No service fees, polite staff, delicious. The menu has everything, even alcohol and cocktails at an adequate price. There is also a hookah. Meze is brought to any order, at the end of the meal - baklava and tea. You can also pay for the SBP (!) the owner is very pleasant, as well as all the staff. They work for quality. When I return to Istanbul, I will definitely look again

They cook very well.
For the child, the owner of the restaurant always provided meals for free.
There was an opportunity to pay by SBP, which is very convenient at the moment.
They also brought welcome bonuses and tea to the dishes every time.
Some of the staff speaks Russian.
Prices are slightly higher than the average in Istanbul, by 10% according to my observations.
I recommend it!

Wonderful staff! After visiting the hammam, a wonderful place to have a snack. Mom wanted a certain dish that she ate in Turkey many years ago, her wishes were listened to, and she managed to eat exactly what she wants. Convenient, fast, delicious. Dinner, very politely and unobtrusively accompanied by a cat 😃 the salad was divided honestly: vegetables for me, tuna for her)

It's a very nice place. The special charm is not given by the institution itself, but by the owner of the place. A very good-natured man who will exchange a few words in your native language. What about the food. The portions are large and very tasty. The choice is not very large, but there is something to have dinner with. At the beginning and at the end of the meal, small compliments from the institution are served, which is also even more endearing. I want to come back here again and again

The most favorite restaurant in Istanbul!! We came across it by chance in 2018 and began to have dinner there every evening! Now, every time we arrive in Istanbul, we DEFINITELY go to Massa, even if we live in another area. Not only amazing food, but also a warm welcome, the owner of the establishment is a Mass man of the broadest soul, accepts you as family, provides all the best. You feel like a part of the family. As long as I come to Istanbul, I will come as much))

For 4 full days in Istanbul, we managed to visit about 10 establishments, including a place with 2 Michelin stars (Deralia). I can say one thing, the Mass topped our list - 👍💪.
Reasons:
1. Very tasty food (we ordered a branded pot of meat for 2 people + salad + beer + dessert + tea)
2. Serving dishes for 5+. The way the meat pots are served is a whole short show - the whole restaurant is watching);
3. The service is very attentive + pleasant treats - we were treated to bread rolls + sweets + 2 glasses of beer);
4. On the evening when we had dinner, we met the owners themselves - very nice guys, they persuaded us not to leave and wanted to treat us with something else, but there was a risk of bursting)
4. Very reasonable price for Istanbul
Dinner cost us 2,900 lire for two, while the quality of the food is the highest, everything is under the knife (for comparison, dinner at a Michelin restaurant cost us 6,000 lire, in ordinary establishments in the neighborhood the average check was 2700-3200 lire)
In general, I believe that the quality of the food / service / sincerity of the establishment is significantly higher than the competition for the same money!!!
Highly recommend!
On the final evening (04.01.25) we are going to have dinner there!!!)

We were looking for a place nearby based on reviews, and found this restaurant. I really liked this place! Delicious food, really large portions, first they brought us a starter with tortillas as a gift, then our dishes. We were very surprised by the huge portions. Then we were presented with as many as 3 simits with jam, pasta and nutella, we ordered them first, and in the end we were also presented with 3 servings of tea and 3 pieces of baklava, we were pleasantly shocked and generous by the owners of the establishment.
I can say that so far this is one of the best places in the area, the price is much more loyal than other places, and the portions are large, the food is fresh and delicious. I recommend it from the bottom of my heart!
Very comfortable sofas, there is a canopy from the sun.
Thank you to the hosts for their attentiveness, for the warm welcome, for doing your job with your soul!😊😊😊.

Delicious cuisine. The cheapest beer in Istanbul (120 lire for summer 24). For guests of the neighboring hotel, the Mass makes a discount. The staff is very friendly, the menu is in Russian. The compliment is a flatbread with sauces and tea with baklava. The masses have a tricky application, you can immediately pay with a bank card of a Russian bank through the SBP (not even Union Pay!). 5/5

Very hospitable and friendly place)) we personally got acquainted with the Mass, came from the reviews that we read here. I was very impressed by the hospitality of the family that runs this restaurant. The prices are reasonable, everything is fair. The food is delicious, I put the level of service 10 out of 10: we took care of the quality, the sequence of serving dishes, and the comfort of the guests. The owner has a kind heart - he treated me to a hookah and tea.
Prosperity to the restaurant and kind guests!

My favorite place in Istanbul❤ When I get back, I'll run straight to Massa. We have never been greeted so hospitably and in a friendly way anywhere else. The food is the most delicious of all that I have tasted in Turkey. The owner of the establishment and his brothers are just great! Such cool guys, they anticipate all desires, the atmosphere in the cafe is just family, we went there every day. It is very tasty, incredibly cozy, the location is great, you can pay with your Russian card - this is a huge plus for Russians!

If it were possible to put 100 stars, I would put 1000. It's not just a restaurant with food. Massa bistro is a place with a special atmosphere, where every guest is treated as if they were waiting for you. You feel it from the very beginning, they just envelop you with attention and care, very friendly, very beautiful, every dish with a smile, endless compliments and gifts. We were there by accident. We walked down the street, where there are many identical cafes, but empty. We were in a bad mood, we didn't understand where it was better to sit and what the difference was, everyone praised their restaurant, everyone invited us, except Massa. He doesn't have to praise himself, he just listened very carefully to what we wanted and sat us down at the best table, even though we thought there were no seats. I think he just hypnotized us with his gaze. And then the celebration began. I do not know how they do it. But it was the best night. And the next one too. Massa (the owner of the restaurant) and his family make people happy. The feeling that you are loved and welcome at home. He meets and accompanies everyone personally, sincerely, kindly, tells stories about his family, as if you have known each other for 100 years. If people continue to rest after 12 o'clock, they will work until 2 o'clock and will never tell you "we are closing". Everything is delicious, beautiful, with love and care for people. They make a real feast of joy out of an ordinary dinner. They really love what they do, they love their guests. That's why I want to come back here again and again. This is the best place and I love it very much.
