Karina Balık Restaurant

I was starving when I reached the place, this was the reason I didn’t take food photos. the food taste was admirable, and the crew was very friendly. For sure I will visit here again, and I will add some food photos. If you like seafood, my suggestion for you is not to miss the place.

This is by far the best fish restaurant I have ever been in my life. The level of customer service you receive in this place is extraordinary. Types of dishes, qualuty and tastes are unmatchable. I found this place based on the search I did around SAW airport and I can fully confirm that all reviews are real and it deserves a lot more.

Next time when we are in İstanbul, we will definitely go there again. Thank you Karina Balik family for your excellent service!

Great fish restaurant. Tomate sauce fish is their specialty.

Sorry for my not presentable photo 😅 but I think something is better than nothing , heh

😎What I suggest u to try and to avoid😎 :

Tereyağ karides (Shrimps on the pan) are the most delicious ❣Put on them a little bit mint (Nane)and thyme(Kekik) and taste will be doubled to SUPER AWESOME 👏

Saribalik just AMAZING 😉

Tuna fish very BAD, don’t take it 😢They cook tuna fish as “well done” but this kind of fish the most delicious if inside still a little bit raw

Hamsi -😋

Also salads are good here 🙃

I was here near 5 times and will come again and again :) Not only because restaurant name is same with my 😂

Always perfectly prawns you can find here!!!!✨☺Delicious and tasteful options are always available here as a family restaurant. ☺ They’re so kind and we’re happy to be here. 😍

Amazing fish restaurant with delicious sauces. Barbun grilled was superb, seabass with white sauce takes you to an alternate dimension, hamsi bugulama with red sauce full of flavor.

Delicious seafood, Good price staff are so kind and always smile

It’s simple and outstanding sea food.

One of the best fish restaurants. Delicious food, great service and a very clean place.
I would definitely recommend this place

The best restaurant of İstanbul for me. Food is delicious, personnel work very professionally, politely and fast. In rush hours better make reservations. Prices are good.

A cozy restaurant, next the road, with a garden view and the sea in a walk far, the food menu is with multiple choices.

One of the best restaurants ive ever been too. Super kind waiters, 10/10-food and affordable prices. Would definitely recommend

Delicious steamed sea bass. Service was friendly. Potatoes, Yogurt, and Onion rings were also great sides. Very clean restaurant. Air conditioned.

The best local fish restaurant in Pendik. Great taste and service!

Unfortunately there are no to much restaurants in Pendik. If you want eat excelent fish, this is best option

Great place to eat good food, great service. 5 star.

We ate there for lunch, a soup, sea bream and fish in sauce. It was really good. We love everything from food to hospitality! We thank the staff who were very kind. We recommend !!!

A small but cosy restaurant. It consists of two levels. I didn't see the top level. The serving was moderate. Food was delicious and fresh. The price was very reasonable. Staff very professional and friendly. We waited a bit more than I expected until our main course arrived but happily munched on our seasonal salad and complimentary fresh crunchy bread while waiting.

Really excellent,it was a Real treat. Best i have ever eaten the fish in Istanbul.well seasoned ans marinated.

Was great! The Roka salad with cheese was fresh and tasty, the steamed Levrek in tomato sauce was delish! Turkey is not known for their fantastic service but these guys were anxious to please and were fast and friendly.

Great tasting seafood with professional service 👌🏻
