⭐ Update:
Chef Istanbul is temporarily closed due to an electrical problem. I completely understand that issues like this can happen, but it would be really helpful if the restaurant could share at least a time frame for reopening. This place has always been one of our favorite spots in downtown, & we truly look forward to dining here again once it's back.

For now, I also hope the owner updates the opening hours on Google Maps, since the restaurant is closed with no clear reopening date. Updating this would save people time & avoid confusion.
