If you want a restaurant with good food, at reasonable prices, without being hassled to a table, then this is the place for you. Great staff, and good experience all round.

Sultanahmet has lots of dining choices, often with similar menus and outdoor/indoor seating arrangements. We came to Albura Kathisma based on a recommendation from our hotel and were very pleased with the evening. Seating was comfortable and the tables weren't crammed together as is the case in so many other restaurants in the area. Service was very attentive, including having... More

I had great memories of this place having been there with my husband in 2009. So I had to go back with my family mum and sister when visiting Istanbul last week. Ended up eating there twice as the great food and attentive while relaxed service were totally worth it. Might seem a bit more expensive than its neighbors when... More

The most bland food known to man. The decor is fancy and more western; I'm sure that's what attracts most tourists to this restaurant. The menu is extensive but the food itself is not appetizing. The waiters insisted on moving us from table to table through out our meal to accomodate other patrons. The ruins below the building are a... More

I have just returned from a five-day trip to Istanbul with my octogenarian parents. My father chose the restaurant because he liked the look of it - saying later that it looked friendly and that there was no one outside touting for business, as there had been with the others. We visited four evenings out of the six we were... More

My husband and i really enjoyed our meal here. We were not aware of the Byzantine ruins beneath the restaurant so were especially surprised after the lovely meal to be invited to explore 'below stairs'. Very gentle and smooth service, and incredibly relaxing. The fresh fish was prepared and served beautifully - everything tasted delicious. Although the menu appeared pricey... More

I stayed in Istanbul for a week and frankly this is the best restaurant I've been to. It's a bit expensive but really worth it, the food was reallyyyyy good, service was super friendly and helpful. After our dinner the waiter encoyraged us to go downstairs and visit the old antique cellar, it was really cool. For sure next time... More

This restaurant is in the middle of a street full of bars and restaurants. It is about the only ace on the street that doesn't try to herd you in every time you walk by. It is a little more expensive than its neighbours, but the food is very good, the service is excellent, and you can sit away from... More

This restaurant is situated in the centre of Sultanohmet on a road full of other places to eat, we were recommended to go there by the receptionist at the hotel and we were not disappointed. In fact we eat there three times. We are vegetarians and there was a real good choice of things we could eat. The food was... More
