Taste:6/10(Moderate. I expecting something tasty from the agreed price of 45 Lira for one person portion of testi kebab. However, the meal come out is just normal and without aroma that I am expected. The only good meal here are their roasted eggplant salad and chocolate dessert which I have tried).
Price:3/10(Expensive. The price charge for a person portion of testi kebab already expensive. To add insult, they let you choose the meze that they bring without advising their customers that each of the meze is different pricing. I have chosen anchovies soaked in sour chilli oil which was priced as 20 Lira! And roasted eggplant salad at 7 Lira which is still ok as it was in the menu. Then I never request for spring water but its on the table and charge 5 Lira. The worst part is there is tax on the bill which is 8 Lira! During my one week trip in Istanbul, I never encounter any restaurant which charges tax! 85 Lira for the meal shown below is simply expensive).
Proof of bill charges of this restaurant. Simply amazing of tax charges of 8 Lira! From initially thought 45 Lira meal become 85 Lira meal. What a con artist restaurant.
The waiter will bring many mezes for you to choose. It looks good but beware! There is no price indication of each meze. They can just simply charge the price of the meze after your meal!
I have chosen fresh anchovies with sour chilies.
