Customer Reviews
It was worth to every seconds. Nothing to say more. Delicious.
Dishes were like pictures. Just one point, the design of restaurant does not reflect the dishes. Could be designed some more Ottoman style.
Cheese pie was my favorite. But i ate more delicious baklawa on the otherside of old town.
