The food was delicious, the staff were friendly, and Mr. Halil took great care of us. Thank you! I definitely recommend trying the shrimp :)

I visited this restaurant after it was recommended by Swissôtel Efe Pasa, but unfortunately it wasn’t worth the money I paid. The starters were excellent, and we have no complaints about them. However, the main courses were very disappointing. We ordered the grilled octopus, and it seemed old or poorly prepared. It was so tough that I could barely cut it with a knife. Properly cooked octopus should be tender, but this was as hard as a rock. We also ordered the sea bass. Although there was a display of what appeared to be fresh, daily fish, the sea bass we were served tasted like it had been frozen. It was also under-seasoned and not well marinated. For the prices they charge, I expected fresh, high-quality seafood. I would recommend that diners ask whether the fish is fresh before ordering. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel that I got what I paid for.

The food is already excellent, it's a place we know and love, that's not up for debate. However, today we came with our pet, and unfortunately, due to their rules, they said they couldn't accommodate us indoors. But they happily prepared a table for us in the open air, even in this heat, and they were very attentive. Thank you and much love to Mr. Ümit, Ms. Asli, and the whole team for their attentiveness, smiling faces, and solution-oriented approach. It's great that there are people like you, may your blessings continue ♥️🙏

Özgür, you're amazing, thank you so much!

A place that has stood the test of time, where I always find the same perfect taste every time I visit. It always puts a smile on our faces with its incredible appetizers, and in my opinion, it's the best place to cook calamari in Izmir. I definitely recommend trying the smoked artichoke, shrimp salad, and fried calamari.

Everything I ate was truly delicious. The grilled baby calamari and octopus were amazing. Definitely worth trying.
