Good value for money, very friendly and helpful staff. One of the few places in the center that offers a gluten-free menu.

İnci Kaya

Delicious gluten-free pizza, its hard to find places that are actually safe for celiac. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it when you’re craving something nice.

Remarkable in the true sense of the word, that is: worthy of particular regard, respect or consideration compared to others. In fact, this restaurant is notable for its location with respect to the city center (in a side street 500 meters from Hagia Sophia/Blue Mosque); notable for the quality of the food; just as the education, diligence and professionalism of the dining room staff is noteworthy; the friendliness and pleasantness of the owner is more than remarkable; but above all, notable for the competence (particularly of the owner) in knowing how to manage the particular dietary needs linked to celiac disease, in a country where it is difficult to find places equipped in this sense since (good for them) this problem is not widespread. Finally, their habit of offering a dessert at the end of dinner is noteworthy. The only thing I didn't find remarkable was the final bill, which I instead found decidedly honest and moderate! As an expert contributor, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.

I interpret the experience I had here as being beyond extraordinary...🫶I say gluten-free diet is an event, there are so many legendary kebabs, appetizers, desserts, especially a kunefe, I feel like I'm in heaven after so many years...I highly recommend it to those who live to eat like me....🫶💜🙏🏻

The view is wonderful, the staff is very attentive, the menu is very rich. Gluten-free and vegan options are available. Gluten free lahmacun was nice. Gluten-free lavash was also served alongside Adana.

Giovanni Martini

Ate very well, even gluten free Excellent waiters Kamir and Barish Special kebab

Tegan Burns

Absolutely absurd cost for gluten free. Went based on the reviews advertising GF bread and was charged 390 lira EXTRA for my breakfast to replace my bread. Never seen prices like that before anywhere in the world. When I questioned it (as I assumed there was a mistake) the waiter insisted that is the cost

Dining here was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip to Istanbul last summer. We ate a delicious variety of grilled dishes along with vegetarian and vegan mezze, and tasty cocktails. We were also accommodated for gluten and lactose intolerances, even with meaty dishes that usually come with bread. The views and atmosphere were serene. Our two main servers, Ibrahim and his female colleague (forgive me for not knowing her name, although Ibrahim and her will precisely know who I am referring to) delighted us with their friendliness, hospitality and genuine goodheartedness. They made our experience unforgettable, even treating us to complimentary pomegranate tea and lots of watermelon, and without a doubt made us keen to visit again one day. If they were not working, I'm sure we would have chatted for hours.

A very unique pub! Good gluten-free options, I just wish they stocked the Gluten-free Efes beer which is available in many other Istanbul pubs! Really friendly staff who were happy to explain the gluten-free food options to me.

Enrico Picari

All food is fresh and prepared at the moment. Everything on the menu is vegan and celiac people like me have glutenfree options (not the buns or pida though!). I had a lovely chat with the owner, who is really passionate about her job. I’ll come back for sure next time I’ll be in Istanbul!

Stephanie Winner

We wanted to try the authentic Ottoman foods and Matbah delivered! Some dishes are unusual - stuffed calamari and stuffed melon. My celiac husband received gluten-free bread and the menu was clearly labeled. Service was very good and we received a gift of a bead pendant at the end of our meal. We had visited Istanbul before and were very surprised that the restaurant was nearly empty by 10pm. The other diners were locals, Spaniards, and Americans.

Laura Cejudo Iglesias

A wonderful experience. The first thing is to say that this restaurant has food adapted for people intolerant to gluten, a big plus in its favor! The second thing is the staff, wonderful, fast, attentive, fun! They asked us to dance and taught us the typical steps of Turkish dance, it was an incredible night! Some dishes come with a show included and the food is delicious! We also ordered a hookah and it was spectacular! If I return to Istanbul, without a doubt this will be the first restaurant I return to!

Andrea Grimaldi

Very intimate and clean place, we came after reading the nice reviews for the gluten free menu (it really was). Joseph served us with great kindness and precision, very good typical food. I highly recommend it and hope to return soon.

We were here in Istanbul for 7 days. We ate here three times during our city trip. We can only recommend this restaurant from the bottom of our hearts!! It's really a great atmosphere, the food is super fresh and very, very tasty! If you are sick, the staff and the cook will take care of you and do things like: the food is gluten free. The employees are also happy to give tips on what they can recommend. The waiters are all very nice and funny. They also offer great cocktails and shishas at very fair prices! The service is simply great! The food is beautifully prepared and elegantly served on the table. The restaurant is very clean. You can only feel good here!!! are very satisfied. !!! This restaurant is 10000% worth visiting. If you don't visit, you're missing out on something in Istanbul.😍😍😍 we will definitely come back. 🤍🙌🏼

Marghe Semeraro

We ate very well, very kind and helpful waiters, excellent gluten free options, Cesar the waiter who served us was very friendly and nice!

Abdulaziz Alharbi

Very good gluten free pasta 👌

Debra Schug

Very expensive for the value. To correct an erroneous review, theyDO NOT have a gluten free menu, but have gf bread. They also will work with you to understand your food restrictions, but the quality and portions were not super great, even though I wanted to like this place. Just a tourist trap, but so it goes being gluten free in the bread capital.

Rishav Dey

Great environment being in an old, wine cellar type space - great for dates! Service was extraordinary, we got a bunch of free appetizers on the house for no reason really which was a very nice gesture. Our server was so considerate and nice and they rolled out the carpet for my girlfriend who is celiac and made two portions for every thing we ordered to accommodate her. Cocktails, next level too! The food, there was a lot of good stuff but perhaps I was looking for something a little more punchy. My girlfriend did tell me to give 5 stars for the food, i would settle for a 4.45 (rounded down to 4 :\)

The environment was perfect, the service was excellent, the food and the gluten-free dessert were great.

Pavlina Kubova

They can prepare gluten-free pasta

Jegajeeva Rao

My wife and I stumbled on this restaurant on a Sunday night for dinner. From the street, it is just a door but inside is a lovely ambient and many sitting places. Mr Mali who attended to us speaks good English, is very attentive and went out of his way to ensure my wife's dish is completely free of gluten. Thank you Mr Mali. We really enjoyed our dinner and the food was good.

Jose Antonio Mongil

The atmosphere is very nice, food prices and portions are normal. However, the service fee seemed a little high to us. Also, our order was wrong and our friends' order was correct, but we didn't mind much. All kinds of flavors are delicious. It is also a very well-kept place, and its staff is very sweet. I was happy with the abundance of gluten-free options. We had a nice experience.

Oscar

Very delicious food. The owner helped us order gluten-free dishes, which were delicious. Especially the typical one that they cook in front of you in a kind of ceramic vase.

gulsum cinar

Great appetizers! Great service! A warm and friendly environment! I will stop by every time I go to Istanbul! Also, many thanks to the service chef who offered me gluten-free bread due to my allergy!

I came because of a gluten-free travel blog's recommendation. Very bad experience in that regard. I tried to explain myself in English about my illness. I was not understood. I took out my piece of paper in Turkish describing my illness and explaining what gluten is. They offered me vegan pasta. Come on, you have no idea what gluten is. And it seems that they don't know how to understand what they read either. Plus, not a single person in the entire place spoke English, which made everything much more difficult. I don't usually comment here, but the experience has been so bad that I want to warn future celiacs from thinking about going.

We enjoyed our dinner very much. Had musaka and eggplant kebab. Both delicious. Namet served us and helped me with his colleagues finding options without gluten. The atmosphere in the terrace is very nice.
