A lovely hidden gem of a restaurant in a lovely garden. Good ambience and atmosphere.

We enjoyed the lamb shank and beef shepherds casserole.

I liked the aubergine starter but my husbands combo basket starter was maybe not reflecting Turkish food however it was tasty. Everything was piping hot so no complaints.

We were too full for dessert.

I would return again. 🙂

Beautiful garden with a pond with small fish. It is behind the building, nice and peaceful. I recommend the testi, the stew in pottery. You get to decorate a pot and they serve it in an awesome manner.

Lovely place, very serene and pleasant. We tried the verge omelette and the mix menemen. Both were very filling and tasty! The owner also brought us artisan bread and olive oil ordered from olive in his personal garden, so it was super fresh. Service was amazing.

Lovely restaurant with nice stuff and a pleasant atmosphere. The cats make up most of it of course 😄 They had one vegan breakfast option but no alternative milks unfortunately. The prices were ok although it’s not a cheap place.

I love this restaurant. It's a hidden gem! The food was delicious and fresh. The bread was so soft and good. The owner was very nice and spoke very good English. The decoration is so nice. I would definitely come back again when I'm back in Istanbul."

We went to the Olive Garden for breakfast on our last day in Istanbul. We had the best breakfast and enjoyed the ambiance of the garden. I wish we had discovered it sooner because I wanted to come back for dinner. The host was so attentive and came to visit with us. We had a nice conversation and he offered us Turkish coffee and that was our first Turkish Coffee. Everything was so delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Came here for breakfast and it was amazing. Great service and loved having cats as company. Highly recommend for traditional Turkish breakfast.

What a wonderful place for a Turkish breakfast. The food is incredible and the service is top level. We had an amazing time!

Wow!! This place is perfect for couples! We came here for a late breakfast and it was amazing! The staff are really helpful and the atmosphere is unbelievable! A must try when coming to Istanbul!

The place was very nice, food was delicious. We ordered katmer (a cheese and pistachio pastry) and was amazing!
The main course was very good, and the portion is big (for like 1 & 1/2 people).
The service and ambiance were great, very olive-oriented presentation.

The little details stand out here. Beautiful. Pricier than surrounding cafes but WOW do you get what you pay for. Amazing. Our new breakfast spot.

Fantastic restaurant providing delicious Turkish cuisine and perfect service with great hospitality. We went there as family with 2 kids and they also loved the restaurant. An attentive staff played with my 5-year old son and he enjoyed it a lot, looking for a golden fish in a small pond, stone/paper/scissors, etc.
Meat plate (for 2 persons) is highly recommended as it include everything you need to eat in Turkey!

We had the breakfast experience here and The food was great, the place is really pretty and the stuff are really kind. They even prepared the breakfast menu for us even tho we got there late

Had an amazing breakfast/brunch at this Olive Garden Cafe! Super friendly staff that went above and beyond to make my sister in law’s birthday so special. Delicious food and amazing desert too. Thank you again. Highly recommend!!

Nice place, great food and excellent service! The chicken curry and vegetable soup are a must. You’ll also have some cute cats making you company!

I can really recommend the testi, not only tast y but also very fun to decorate. After dinner it was placed in their garden as decoration:)

Somewhat hidden away, the restaurant is in a beautiful backyard with lovely ambience. The dishes we had were delicious but somewhat pricy for Istanbul, but you are getting you’re money‘s worth.

The food was very tasty and the portions were big. We were 2 girls and shared one portion of the main meal and one dessert and could not finish all of it.

Great atmosphere, service, and most importantly lovely cats 🐈
Steak was divine 😋
