Delicious food very good serving size.

Loved the food and ambience! Our server, Nur was super helpful, sweet and welcoming.

Came here for dinner with my family, the service was excellent, so fast, the atmosphere was nice The restaurant seemed pretty clean. We ordered five different dishes and everything was coming out so fast. Giving 4 stars because the food was under seasoned and we used a lot of salt and sauces on all of our dish to try and bring out some more flavours.

We visited this restaurant in Sultanahmet and ordered Beyti, expecting a delicious, traditional Turkish meal. Unfortunately, the meat was seriously undercooked — essentially raw in the middle — which was both unappetizing and concerning from a food safety standpoint. Would not recommend based on this experience. I think review count is fake..
TL;DR :
Meat is undercooked

Took my BFF for a very belated bday dinner. She heard the food was amazing so we took the chance! I was afraid to come because usually when a restaurant says they serve authentic Turkish food, it doesn’t taste like the food in Türkiye! But some of the food here did remind me of Türkiye!

If you come to this restaurant on a weekend, be aware that they only reserve for 1.5 hours because they are very busy. And they are busy for a reason!

The staff was welcoming and friendly. Our waiter Yasir came by very quickly after we sat down as most people know what they want. As it was our first time there, we needed recommendations! He told us what others order and what he likes as well!

We got the mixed meze plate to start. It comes with loafs of Turkish bread so pillowy soft that we couldn’t stop eating it! Usually they bring 2, but somehow we got 4! And each of the dips were really good! But be careful because the bread can fill you up quickly! But you just can’t stop eating it!

My BFF got the pineapple mojito. There’s no alcohol in these drinks, so we were able to enjoy.

We also ordered the cheese and spinach pide which was huge! It was something else we could have probably eaten on its own!

My BFF ordered the chef’s mix grill dinner. The portion was very large but well balanced. The best part was the Veal shish kebab! So juicy and yummy! I “sampled” her dinner and the veal reminded me of Türkiye!

I ordered the chicken doner dinner. It did not disappoint! But it was nearly impossible with the large portions for us to finish our plates.

So we packed up half of it to share with family at home.

Last, they brought us complimentary tea and dessert (they didn’t have the dessert we wanted so provided a complimentary dessert instead). We enjoyed the cold Turkish baklava. It was more like three little cakes and they were a perfect way to end the night!

Yasir our server was easily available to help. The table staff were very good as well. Thanks to the south Asian gentleman who brought us take out dishes so we could split up our food to take home, and who quickly took away our dirty dishes. He, Yasir and the rest of the staff were just so friendly and helpful.

For anyone saying the staff isn’t friendly enough, I think you get what you give. My friend and I are always friendly, smiling and treating everyone with kindness and respect and it’s rare that we don’t get that back. Our server saw me turning around looking for the washroom and discreetly showed me the way just because he was paying attention to his customers. Even the servers for other customers were kind to us.

We will be going back to bring the husbands and the kids. We know they will enjoy the food! You need to eat here!

Food was amazing . Yasser's service was excellent.

Best service ever, Noor was amazing and so kind, would recommend 100%%%

YASIR was a great help! Sweet & efficient :)

Very good food in the city! Good staff as well.

I visited this location on April 15 and was served by Yasir. He was hospitable and kindly offered us complimentary Turkish tea, which I appreciated.

However, at the end of our visit, I chose to leave a small tip—mainly just to avoid leaving the tip field blank on the machine. Unfortunately, Yasir repeated the tip amount out loud in a way that felt unnecessary and uncomfortable.

I’ve tipped less in other places and never faced any issues. Tipping is not mandatory; it's meant to reflect the level of service received. If it were required, the restaurant would include it as part of the bill.

I wasn’t planning to leave a review, but I feel it’s important to mention that servers should never comment on or announce a customer's tip—regardless of the amount. It’s unprofessional and leaves a poor impression, even if the overall experience was mostly positive.

We had a wonderful breakfast at Little Emmet this morning! The sucuk was incredibly fresh, perfectly salted, and piping hot, while the menemen was bursting with flavor – we could really taste every fresh vegetable in it. The chef was so polite, and we loved his mustache! We highly recommend this spot and will definitely come back.
