We had been disappointed eating out with a recommendation from the Rough Guide to Istanbul so ventured towards the Sirkeci district to look for a good value restaurant and found the Salute Pub and Restaurant. It was an excellent find. The waiters provided very good service and the food was the best we had tasted on our weeks holiday! The... More

Went and ordered a kebab plate and a pizza, to go. Kebab plate came and as I was ready to leave the waiter said that the pizza was not in my bag. So, I waited, and waited and waited, finally after almost 20 minutes, and several times being told 2 minutes, I asked fo rmy money back and left. They... More

I was in Istanbul and stayed right down the street. Fun waiters caught my attentions the first night. Food wasn't especially phenomenal but the atmosphere was unbeatable. Ended up there my second/last night as well. Met an Englishwoman who was there twice as well - she's been in Istanbul eleven times and always goes back here.

After a nice meal we sat together and spent a lovely evening with the staff of the Pub Salute. They make sure you don't miss anything at all. They pay so much attention and we had a lot of fun. Tarik and his friend sang for us and made us feel so welcome. Thank you very much and who knows.... More

The waiters will go out of there way to ensure you have a memorable trip, very hospitable, warm and friendly....and not overbearing like so many other restaurants can be... More

I first went in December 2010 as my friends had been persueded to stop by for an evening hookah. The atmosphere was lively, the food reasonably priced for the quality, and the staff were absolutely charming. Mix that with great customers from all over the world and it was probably my most memorable evening in Istanbul. I returned in three... More

We had dinner here recently while staying in the adjoining hotel. It was an absolute pleasure. The staff are very friendly and attentive. There is a wide selection of dishes available. My wife got the kofte and i tried one of the stews. Both dishes were very tasty and very reasonably priced. We even got some fruit for dessert on... More

Go for the enviroment and fun. Food nothing special.

We were passing this place when I was persuaded by a serenading waiter (Tarik ) to try their food. He was a great character and played songs( to suit all the nationalities in the restaurant) on his guitar encouraging people to join in. Sounds cringeworthy I know but - well, you had to be there, it was fun. The food... More
