We went with a friend for lunch / dinner - everything was very tasty, went out on the veranda to feed the seagulls, and later the staff of Akif and Abvulah sweetly and kindly treated us to tea to keep us warm!
It was incredibly pleasant 🤭
The views from the restaurant to the Bosphorus and the Hagia Sophia Mosque are impressive, but the cooking is weak, given the high prices, and the situation needs to be repaired.
Seafood cuisine.
But the most important thing is the roof terrace, where you can take cool photos with seagulls against the background of the main attractions of Sultanahmet
I love this restaurant because I've never eaten such disgusting food. It's just art! The view is beautiful, and I put stars for it. If you want a photo with seagulls on the background of a mosque, you can not eat in the restaurant, they have a separate photo area, you can just go there)
This is the most iconic location - consider it part of a tourist route. The price tag is high, but this is a traditional place for photos - a beautiful view of the Bosphorus, Hagia Sophia, a special terrace for photos and feeding seagulls.
A cool location with really the coolest view of the surrounding area. You can go up, take pictures, feed the seagulls with your hands. Basically everything.
The menu is in 3 languages, understood in Russian. The prices are high. By the quality of the kitchen, I won't say we didn't order it.
The entrance is through the lobby of the hotel and by elevator to the terrace. The remtoran is 2-storey. 1st closed, 2nd open + part without tables in the form of an observation deck.
According to the reviews, we just came to feed and take pictures, there were French fries and meat, just obviously what we didn't eat from plates in the restaurant. We looked at the menu, it's really more expensive than in any restaurant near the attraction. We didn't try it, there were a lot of people on the terrace, I didn't want to sit in the noise
It's a great place! The portions are large - excellent fish and wine! Excellent service - fast and clear - English, Russian - how convenient! Super! A compliment from the cafe - fruits! The views are fantastic, especially from the roof terrace!!
The restaurant is just awful.
It's just a nightmare, the tourist overpayment is off the scale.
I thought at least the level here would be the same as in the whole area - expensive, not very tasty, a little dry.
No, it's just terrible, and hyper-expensive.
I can assume that grilled fish is tolerable. But in no case do not take what is cooked in pans, pots, etc. It's just awful.
Ugh.
0 points , 10 points view.
It's better to come in warm weather to drink wine (it's probably also expensive and terrible, I haven't tried it, but for the sake of looking like an entrance ticket, a glass will do)
A cool place as a photo location. Seagulls are great lures.
The restaurant is expensive.
But we stopped anyway because it was cold, drank tea and fed the seagulls.

A super tourist spot for a photo and a drink. Feeding seagulls is super! The views of the mosques are great. It's better to eat somewhere else. Drinking drinks is great!
They don't know how to cook seafood - the octopus in oil was greasy and salty; the seafood mix in tomatoes was tasteless. Very high prices. Only the view is beautiful, but it can be done for free.
The cafe is located on the hotel's terrace.
Among the advantages:
convenient location, beautiful panoramic view of the Bosphorus, Russian-speaking administrator and menu.
Everything else is not very good, the menu is meager, mostly seafood, expensive and does not meet expectations, tasteless
We ordered sea bass and dorado
A great restaurant with a wonderful view of the Bosphorus and Hagia Sophia! The kitchen is delicious! On the roof you can feed the seagulls with your hands) I recommend it. Good luck to everyone!
