Such a hidden gem! I was chaperoning a group of 11 16-17yr swimmers in town & need to find a place with generous portion, with food that can satisfy everyone's taste buds. Chef Istanbul hits all the check boxes. Their food is fresh & delicious/yummy. The freshly baked Turkish bread & garlic are also hugely loved by the group. Highly recommend!
