Massa Bistro

We really enjoyed our dinner here! The staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was wonderful and came out very quick, be even have some free flat bread and dips and baklava and Turkish tea with our dinner! Highly recommended!

Came here with my hubby and mother in law.
The food and Atmosphere is good! Highly recommended. You get free starters as well as tea and Baklava for dessert :) Massa is also super cool and friendly 😁 would definitely come back.

Chilled, comfortable spot away from the bustling crowds! Delicious fish soup. Really enjoyed our time there.

Nice place! Great food, fantastic service and reasonable price. Thanks!

Great place to take breakfast or smoke Shisha in the Sultanahmet area.

The food is fresh, both the starters and everything in the breakfast plate. Strongly recommend the lentin soup if you catch rainy or cold weather in Istanbul.

The service is kind and polite, brings everything in time.

The atmosphere is cozy and warm with Turkish music. The place is both popular among tourists and locals.

The prices are decent, and it pays off considering what you get. 400tl/person for breakfast is enough.

All Shisha/Hookah flavours are available at 500 tl.

We spent several evenings at this bistro. I want to say a big thank you to Massa and his team for the great service, excellent food and hookahs. Each time we were greeted as close friends and we will definitely come back here when we are in Istanbul next time. Definitely recommend to visit.

Love the vegetarian food and variety, hospitality, staff that know English well, complementary baklava and Turkish teas! Thanks

Great place to take a break and have a pint with some food.

We had hummus and a chicken pita (Turkish pizza). Both really great. The cheese they use is cheddar cheese (in case anyone else needed to know).

They also gave complimentary tea and baklava.

Good food and affordable prices for great food and especially great service. Good location, friendly staff.
Complimentary bread and appetizers, also baclava on the house.

First meal after arriving in Istanbul and we weren't disappointed. Good food, good service and good value. Will visit again. Highly recommended!

The food is nice! Thank you for organizing such a great birthday surprise for my husband.

Definitely a worthy place to host a birthday surprise. 🎉🎉

This was the best restaurant in Istanbul! Luckily, we stayed at the hotel where the restaurant is and we ate there 5 times- every day!
The food was delicious and fresh, and the hospitality was unmatched. This place was busy all the time, and it was lovely to meet people from all over the world. This place has a great ambiance and music so it makes it easy to converse and enjoy every aspect.
The owner and the staff were incredible so we are looking forward to going back to Istanbul in the near future.
If you are in Istanbul, this place is a must!

Flavoursome, cozy and comfortable food.
We have never tried Ottoman/Turkish cuisine before and it's just amazing.
If you're looking for comfort food, I highly recommend this place and specially the Ottoman Dish (Testi) which has been a tradition in Turkey for over 600 years old.
Owner and staff were really friendly and professional.

I visited many times there and had some kinds of meal such a grilled chicken, breakfast, tomato taste pasta with drinks. There's staffs were very nice & kindly. That location is also convenience place. So that I recommend here.
Have a nice experience there.🍀

Highly recommendable! Great food for a good price. Nice atmosphere and not intrusive at all like all other restaurants around here. Kindly we weren’t charged for our tee and got two pieces of baklava as dessert as well.

One of the things I love when traveling is trying local food!
I went to a lot of nice restaurants
‎‏in the Istanbul and ate some heavily priced food but nothing matched this one🤩
To be honest, the best food experience I had during my trip, was Massa.
Fantastic food, nice atmosphere and very friendly and attentive staff🥰
I can just say that the meal was beyond fantastic.
Thank you Massa Bistro for making such an amazing flavour plates that was nothing near the usual.
I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Istanbul.

Good food, good music, good people. We ordered the beef testi, a lentil soup. The restaurant is very generous. They offered Turkish tea and dessert! Outstanding experience, I would recommend this place to my friends.

We picked this place on our first day in Istanbul based on Google rating and we weren't disappointed. We decided to keep going here for the rest of the stay, at the cost of exploring and taking any other risks.

The main draw here is the careful service (not ignoring the qulity of the dishes). We'd always get extras for free both upon arrival (pita and dips as starter) and departure (cay and baklava).

Thanks a lot to the staff. We can't wait to be back next time we're in Istanbul.

To say Wow, nothing to say! First, I want to thank the staff! Such friendly staff, such soulful people!🫶🏽🇹🇷🥺
Kitchen at the highest level!
Honestly, it tasted a hundred times better when you are surrounded by such cool people!
The location is great!

Thank you for the tea, for the desserts, for EVERYTHING!💘

The next visit to Turkey will start with a cup of tea in this establishment!🙌🏽

The best! Thank you!

Excellent service and food in a comfy atmosphere. It’s a family owned business and they go out of their way to provide you with hospitality and quality service. Food is reasonably priced and very tasty. So nice we came twice over 5 days in the city.
