Fodor's Review:

Tracing its roots back to 1888, this Istanbul institution serves authentic, relatively inexpensive, traditional Ottoman and Turkish cuisine. The places feels a bit touristy (the menu is in multiple languages), but it's also a favorite with locals wishing to enjoy good food in a relaxed atmosphere. Grilled meats, cabbage stuffed with lamb, rice pilaf with pine nuts and currants, and a variety of vegetables stewed in olive oil and served as cold appetizers are among the many offerings. The restaurant, which has several elegant dining rooms done in dark red, faux-Ottoman style, is especially famous for its seemingly inexhaustible range of pickles and homemade fruit compotes.
