Old Ottoman Cafe & Restaurant

The food is fantastic, but it's amazing service that makes this place special. They even though in a complimentary desert . Avoid the crowded restaurants on the main street; find this place.

Really a must go in Istanbul. The food is excellent, and the service top notch. We had kebab on the pot, really good.

The food, service, atmosphere and all other aspects of a restaurant are done by people who simply love what they are doing. What an amazing experience and would really suggest to visit.

For the starter try baked eggplant and for the main vegetable kebab pot! Fantastic food, very fresh and vegetarian options . Kind and welcoming service

Everything is so delicious and healthy and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Prices might be a bit high but it's totally worth it ???? There will also be delicious dessert on the house ????????

Very nice place to taste traditional Turkish cuisine and some local wines served by friendly people at decent prices in the heart of the very historical center of Istanbul. Try it if you are around.

The service. The owner of the restaurant attends to you service and he has a good personality. The food is great it has a unique taste that you will not find anywhere else. Ask for Erol.

I loved there! Delicious food, friendly staff , nice atmosphere. Oh and i got Halva with Ice cream and Tea on the house! Yay!

The best hospitality in the whole Istanbul. Affordable prices and amazing food. You feel like a sultan in an old restaurant .

Amazing food,excellent service and a great atmosphere! The kebabs in a clay pot is definitely something to try when visiting Istanbul!

The food is just fantastic. The service is good friendly staff . And the owner himself took good care of his clients talking with all the guests taking and joking. Give it a try while in Istanbul.

I ate lamb neck , it was very good, I recommend it, also good service

You gott try restaurant special, its a beaf or lamb dipped in white sauce that is very tasty, has some onions and mushrooms ..try also the clay pot (veggie , beef ) . Cant' say enough

Amazing food! Best we’ve had in Istanbul so far - great service also.

Everything we eat was great; my favorite dish was the chicken harem delight. The waiters was so kind to even prepare an exquisite mutabal that was not offered in the menu.
