Amy OwlOctober 14, 2015Nothing compares to Can Oba's food! It's much easier to take friends & let them taste, rather than trying to describe it. It's always fresh, amazingly tasty. Try to save some place for desert.

Jus JillJanuary 15, 2014Found this on Foursquare and saw lots of Turkish review and thought must be good. Definitely try their octopus risotto and chocolate mousse. You won't be disappointed with those two 😁
DashaMay 5, 2014Totally recommended! Reasonable prices and great atmosphere. Octopus risotto was amazing. One of the best food experience ever!
Cem OzSeptember 13, 2015Reasonable price and totally affordable. The food quality was epic (except the octopus) and the service was really good. A good chance to eat from a Michelin Star chef. Try the rocket soup!

Seren KApril 23, 2016Seafood soup was very delicious but beef stroganoff was nearly raw and beef was chewy. Tiramisu blew our mind;)

M. Orçun ŞahinSeptember 12, 2015Hidden gem in a crowded local street. Daily menu with seafood. You can't find a table for the evening, try early hours
Evin TasSeptember 12, 2015Great sea food, great value, great service. One of the best in my life. Do reserve before going, it is a small place
Sarp TecimerMarch 8, 2015Octopus, scallops, desserts... Not the fan of liver with apples&pears. Liver is great with the puree, sweet things made it un edible.
