We had a lovely dinner here during our trip. The views of the city are spectacular and the service was perfect. Our meals were delicious and I loved how different the food was from everything else we encountered in Istanbul. I love Turkish food, but it was nice to see the creativity they put into their dishes. I thought the... More

Little bit chilly on the rooftop terrace but we were (eventually) provided blankets. The view could be great, ours was interrupted with a giant construction crane. The waiters were knowledgeable, food was tasty and the wine was superb. The meze plate for starters is worth trying and sliced lamb mains were delicious. Would recommend to others to try.

We had dinner here this evening and left feeling dissatisfied. The food was good- Aegean salad was delicious as was the lamb shoulder on a puree of blueberry and chestnut, the fish stew was nice but not overwhelmingly tasty. When asked for a wine recommendation the most expensive wine was recommended despite me gesturing towards the lower priced wines- therefore... More

We celebrated my wifes birthday there. We liked this restaurant very much. The view from our table was beautiful, service was excellent. Dishes were very delicious. When we finished, staff carried out a birthday cake with congratulations. Everything was great. After that they presented to my wife turkish ceramic souvenir.

We read about this restaurant on Trip advisor and were lucky enough to get a table. The food was great,and the service was excellent. You do need to book ahead of time,but well worth it.

Ate here when it was ranked #1. Excellent, but not what I expected from the #1 restaurant in Istanbul. Don't get me wrong, well worth the money and would eat there again. See it has fallen to #5 in the 6mo since I have been there. Seems about right.

After an exhausting day at Topkopi, we stopped at the Imbat Restaurant for a late lunch. It was so delicious. The service and view from the roof was first rate. The artichoke dish was spectacular and choosing from the varied menu was difficult. I would go back again in a minute.

We loved everything about this restaurant. Service was thoughtful -- you felt taken care of by each one of the staff. Food was absolutely delightful - waiters made thoughtful suggestions on dishes and wines based on our questions. The rooftop view of the Marmara sea and bridge was beautiful - very romantic. We also thought prices were very reasonable based... More
