LAZIZBEK was an exceptional host—warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the dining experience. This was easily one of the best seafood meals we had in Istanbul. From its prime location in Sultanahmet to the charming, Godfather-style interiors that add a touch of character and nostalgia, the restaurant immediately won us over.nnThe fish soup was outstanding—rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care—while the fresh fish dishes were equally impressive. What truly elevated the experience were the thoughtful touches, like the complimentary baklava and tea at the end, which made us feel more like guests than customers.nnThis is a true family-owned gem in Sultanahmet, where hospitality and quality come together beautifully. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and memorable dining experience in Istanbul.

This cafe, or rather restaurant, can hardly be called such; it has the most reviews on Google Maps, and it's a mystery... We ordered soup, some cherevik (fried meat), and some fish. The picture showed a whole fish with a side dish. They brought two small pieces, a single potato, and a couple of lettuce leaves... I can't even call that a serving. I couldn't keep asking questions... Istanbul, like this restaurant, is a complete scam and a rip-off. It's like that everywhere. :)nIt took a long time to get there, and we ate poorly. But it turns out this isn't the worst thing there. It's just the kind of neighborhood it is.
