very tasty kebabs, prices are not super expensive
there are a lot more super expensive restaurants in the historical part
, so the prices here are quite adequate
, the service is also good, not slow, not fast, usually
I don't recommend it.
They cheat - they try other dishes at a price 3 times higher. We were cheated out of 620 lira - we got 2 soups for 900 instead of 2 soups for 280
If you decide to go here, immediately take pictures of the menu, write down in a note what you ordered with the prices and carefully check the receipt before payment!
The waiter also requires a tip of 10% "for service" - do not be fooled, the standard percentage is from 5% to 10% if you really liked it.
That's great! Incredibly delicious, always. The best place, the best people who work almost around the clock, an oven (not a gas stove!) that never goes out, recipes that were passed from hand to hand, the "garden of lost cultures and forgotten tastes" — this is very accurate. A gastronomic journey, "from Mesopotamia to the Ottoman Empire, from the Balkans to the Caucasus and from Asia to the Arabian Peninsula." Such an interest in culture and history is admirable. "The respect you feel for your work is a sign of self—respect" is the motto of the founders of Chii. And it is felt in everything. The New York Times wrote about them, one of the "Chef's Table" series is dedicated to them, but they remain a very sincere, homely restaurant where you are always welcome and always taken care of.
Sevgili Çiya! İyi şanlar! Çok teşekkürler!
