Fodor's Review:

This fish restaurant serves good food at some of the most reasonable fish prices in Sultanahmet. The mainly seafood mezes include sardines, octopus, and mackerel in olive oil, while the mains include a full range of fish as well as a few meat kebabs. The light blue and yellow walls, multicolored antique lamps hanging from the ceiling, and colorful nomad textiles on the walls make for a vibrant and inviting atmosphere. Run by a husband-and-wife team and their business partner, the restaurant has a friendly, family-oriented feel to it.

We had a fairly memorable meal here with the service of our salt encrusted fish. It was set afire and they used a hammer and chisel to get at the fish. It was very moist and tasty. For dessert we had a hot halvah with ice cream. We really enjoyed this.
