Çiya Sofrası

This place is really good. You can eat all the Turkish dishes, good price and kind waiters . It's a self service restaurant ; you choose what you want and they will bring you all the food. Cool!

I was a bit disappointed after haivng tried ciya kebab but I was still curios about trying ciya sofrasi. This time it was perfect! Great meze choice, honest price for meze del service buffet . Great!

no doubt the best kebap i ever had, food here is amazing and so is the hectic yet charming atmosfere. also i admire the stuff that manages to stay attentive to each guest despite all this huge crowd

If you really want to taste turkish & anatolian and middle east cuisine at the same time then it's the perfect spot. Prefer hot dishes and salad bar rather than jumping to kebabs in the first place ;)

The best place to eat in the whole city ! We lived in the Asian part and went every day to Ciya. Simply amazing food and kebabs . Absolutely love! The first place I’ll come when I’m in Istanbul again

Get a few small portions of the traditional recipes and basically everything in the meze bar . Might be a bit touristy now bc of the press but it's still the food I think about most in all the world.

My favourite Ottoman style restaurant . Really love the zaater tea and ma’amoul (kerebiç) - it’s beyond delicious. The price to quality ratio is great. The service is very friendly

Traditional turkish food from cuisine of several districts in Turkey . Grab all from the salad bar that you will be leaving totally full and satisfied.

7,5/10 Solid and delicious Turkish food on the Asian side of Istanbul. Worth a trip! The food is displayed at the entrance and you choose what you’d like to eat. No alcohol .

Kadikoyumun vazgecilmezi. Essiz anadolu lezzetleri ve super servis. A must see taste point for visitors in Kadikoy. Try mixed plate of cold dishes and any Anatolian food.

Best Turkish restaurant in Istanbul. Everything was amazing from the kebbah to the stuffed cabbage leaves to the kebaps and stews . Best to sit outside.

Really beautiful & special tastes of Turkish kitchen. Yes, the price is a little bit expensive , but you should try at least once. Definitely should try lor peynirli sarma. Not recommend katmer.

You have to come if u really wanna taste ottoman cusine! Try to karadut şerbet also make sure to order junior portion with lots of kind. Helpyourself salad bar and enjoy athmosphere.

Fascinating and diverse Turkish cuisine . The menu descriptions aren't terribly helpful but all the surprises were good! Check their website for some photos of the entrees and try the pumpkin dessert .

Çiya is a name that evokes high mountain peaks and mountain flowers. It is possible to reach all the hidden tastes of Anatolia in this restaurant that prepares only authentic dishes . Read more

We tried various dishes between the five of us and every single one was enjoyed by all, easily one of my favourite places to eat in Istanbul.

Eat at this internationally-renowned turkish restaurant after a walk in the most charming asian-side fish market - bubbling with şarküteris, dried fruit , tea&coffee stores, bakeries and baklava stores

Regional dishes from all over Turkey that even most Turks are not familiar with. Great kebabs too. A culinary adventure for your soul...foodgasm!

The best dinner we had in Istanbul! Ask the chef to send over tastes of his/her favorite items (s/he'll probably send you the whole menu) and it'll still cost under $90usd.

food is great, service is good. a unique place you can find traditional turkish( anatolian ) food . they also have delicious vegeterian vegan dishes

Çiya chiefs add the ancient secrets of Mesopotamia to the dishes of the Balkans. It enriches the glory of the Ottoman Empire with the flavors of the Caucasus. Read more

Absolutely fantastic - one of the best meals I had during my time in Istanbul. Literally everything is spectacular, particularly the kebaps .

Everything is amazing here but if they have it you must try the tomato dessert ????

Delicious home-made traditional Turkish meals. Not to miss when you are in Istanbul. Arrive early, things sell out fast.

Best food ever! If you don’t know much about Turkish dishes go to this place and you will try a little bit of everything. Amazing time!!!

Definitely one of my highlights from my stay in Istanbul. Everything was delicious - from the hot dishes to the salads - and mostly unlike what I thought Turkish food was supposed to be. A delight..

Definitely worth the trek over from the European side. Take a ferry from Karaköy, Eminönü or Kabataş and enjoy the best Turkish food in Istanbul!

Ayıp ya! The food was prepared since morning and was served cold. Veggies in lamp were burned, sauce in mumbar was only water and you couldn't chew the intestine. Food tasteless. Why is it still open?

Galye (something with chestnut and quince) and humus was extraordinary.lahmacun and doner don't worth trying here.but seasonal starters definately deserve ???? prices are ok..

Great food. Top floors are very quiet . Thyme salad is a must. You can go for kebab or try the vegetarian across the street.

Featured on TV shows and food tours . Popular for meze , lamacun and kebabs . There are also more unusual dishes. 3 floors and rooftop

Come here and try something you've never heard of before. I feel like I learned something new about food by eating here.

Certainly the best traditional anatolian Turkish food restaurant in the world! (kebap part is also good but not the best)

Ciya is definitely the best place for me to try Turkish food ( I have been living in Istanbul for almost 3 years)

The salad bar is amazing! Try the oregano salad and the pulled meat on artichoke . Excellent, authenthic food.

Perfect mezze , perfect lamb . Very kind english speaking service. One of best places to eat in Kadikoy!

Try the traditional Turkish peasant foods. Really delicious salads , soups and desserts . In particular, the red lentil soup . Order dessert and be surprised at what you will be offered! Read more

Gülbahar kebabi was super tasty but beware, it is not served in a skewer . If you enjoy it with ayran you are doing it right!

One of our favorite restaurants in Istanbul. Get the chicken wrapped in pastry with rice and almonds .

Pick from the food bar !! amazing preparations, just perfect, nice service, things there have meaning coherent place.

Great place to taste mezapotamian food. The local meals are great, but the kebabs are standard.

You can try delicious anatolian cusine, kebap and lahmacun - turkish pizza . Every meal is perfect, our family favorite!

There are many traditional Turkish foods . You can choose several ones to one plate. Good for tasting many one.

Landmark restaurant in Kadiköy where you can sample meat and vegetable specialties from Eastern Turkey .

Excellent delicious fast-served food... Mezes , soğan yahni, ciğer sarma all great ????

Traditional Turkish food , homemade taste!! A bit pricey but definitely worth a try!

This place is best known for the sublime dishes it serves in its sister restaurant across the street, but Çiya is also one of Istanbul's finest kebab-makers.

If you want to experience good traditional Turkish food this is the place ????????

It you like pistachio try the Fıstıklı kebap . Food here is so tasty.

Delicious & authentic Turkish cuisine . A bit pricey though.
