The a la carte menu is not very impressive, but the fixed menu with 10 meze for a start was brilliant. Lovely people that owns this place. Our favourite place in Istanbul!

I planned to eat there last weekend with some friends but we changed our mind after looking at the decidedly uninspiring-looking menu featuring a mix of salads, kebabs, pastas, and some basic mezes. Fortunately always-faithful Ficcin was nearby! Anyone know if this place has changed hands since it was reviewed?

The mezes were good. The main courses were distinctly average. But I wouldn`t want to put anyone off from trying it out. The welcome was exactly as you describe - very friendly indeed - and that counts for a lot. We ate there last week. The mezes were good. The main courses were distinctly average.

We went to Mekan tonight and really enjoyed it. The owner and/or hostess was very friendly, the food was great and not too greasy. It is a shame that we have to go back to Canada tomorrow, as I would love to try out more of your recommendations. Thank you so much for the interesting reviews.
