Akdeniz Hatay Sofrası

Speechless. This is probably one of the best dining experiences, if not the best, of my life.

Food is delicious, authentic and prepared with love. The service is unmatched, made myself and my wife feel like royalty. The pricing is extremely reasonable for the quality of what you get, we ordered two starters, the soup of the day for two, a whole salt chicken, two large desserts and drinks, all of which were perfect quality for £64. Facilities are futuristic and extremely hygienic.

I dont think money can buy an experience of this quality in the UK.

Excellent food, super friendly staff, superb service! Price is good for such high quality tasty dishes. Also great choice from the menu with pictures and english description. I would definitely recommend a visit!

Fantastic food, really loved every dish. Big portions, could barely walk after 😄

Friendly staff, great food and a great view and atmosphere. They were very generous, and served us watermelon and tea, free of charge. This restaurant is not overrated like many of the other known places here in Istanbul, so I would definitely come here again.

Today we had “kağıt kebabı” and “sultan kebabı” with the as I remember “dondurmalı kadayıf tatlı” the mezzeh’s we had was stuffed vine leaves, haydari and an aubergine mezze. We also had half and half lahmacun, all to try their quality. Their service and quality was very high end. We enjoyed most of what we ate. Their visual presentation was lovely. We definitely advise this place to anyone who likes the eastern Turkish cuisine.

Fantastic food - was the best restaurant we ate at during our visit to Istanbul

Great service, came here solo got the real turkish experience with lots of chai and free appeticers i. Got the salt chicken for 2-3 person, it was great. But i had too fight me through all that food. Paid around 1200 lira including tip. Divide that by 3 and its really quite resonable for europe part of istanbul.

Tonight we visited a superb restaurant, and I want to share our experience. We were delighted with the prompt service at the start: we ordered two black teas, and they were served quickly, hot and aromatic. We were there with our three-year-old son, and the staff immediately offered a high chair and helped to seat him. When our little one started to fuss, the restaurant's employees kindly helped us calm him down.

The food was served without delay, and the service was truly top-notch. We ordered hummus with meat, flatbread, minced meat with lavash, and a mix of minced meat with rice in cleaned intestines. Each dish deserves separate compliments - the ingredients were fresh, and the spices were perfectly balanced.

This restaurant is one of the best places I have ever visited, not just in Istanbul, but in general. The restaurant's team are true professionals.

At the end of our visit, we were pleasantly surprised with several compliments in the form of tea, pomegranate, cookies, and candies for our son, which made a wonderful end to the evening. We will definitely return here again and recommend this restaurant to everyone!

It’s the nicest place in the area!! The service is very professional, friendly and caring (the waiter was the best), the food was very delicious!

Very friendly staff, very generous as well, besides which l forgot to take photos of the main dishes out of hunger, they putthe salty yogurt and fresh hot bread at first, then after food fresh pomogrenate and hatay specialty cookies with lokum and tea. Which is generally enough to get full. Deff recommend it if youre into heavy meals as they do use a big amount of oil and butter in their food, yet its worthy.

I enjoyed , it was very delicious and one of the best restaurants in Istanbul

I had dinner here 2 times during my visit in Istanbul. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and a lot of choice on the menu. The portions are quite large. The food is delicious and nicely served. After dinner we had tea, cookies and pomegranate on the house.

Great traditional turkish food for a reasonable price. It can be quite busy inside so come on time or make an advance reservation. The staff is proficient in English and more than willing to help with your choices. After receiving your menu they will come over with a big plateau with all the appetizers. Don't hesitate to take your time to look up the prices so you don't spend more than you want to. The grilled meat is excellent. The chicken in a salt crust is worth ordering too.

THis restaurant offers traditional Hatay food. I loved their kofte, which is prepared in the oven and it’s flat unlike the other Koftes in Istanbul. We also tried some lamb meat with eggplant spread. Both were deli.
Our dessert was kunefe, which was nothing like the one I usually have in Istanbul. It was prepared the Hatay way. Nonetheless it was really good.
Overall the restaurant was pricey but food, ambiance & service were too.

Really enjoyed this place. Lovely atmosphere, service is fantastic, the food is lovely all at good value for money. Definitely recommend this place’

Best restaurant in Istanbul. The food is delicious and cheap, the service is blazing fast and amazing. They invited us to coffee, fruit and cheese, and even made a custom bread with our name. It has tons of vegan options and typical Turkish food. Also it’s filled with locals. I would come every day

Great restaurant, smiling staff, fast service, delicious food and very reasonable price

Great experience, we tasted the lamb cooked in a pot. Tasty and characteristic. Thanks

They have some really good kunefe, it’s made fresh and is super tasty!

One of the best restraunts i have ever visited.

The quality of the food is superb. They take care of every single detail. I was impressed by the soup, bread and appetizers just the same as the main dishes.

The atmosphere and interior design transfer an atmosphere of tradition and history with a modern touch .

The service was another great performance. The waiter was very polite. He ecplains every thing. He gives you enough space and time to take your decision
