What customers say?

“ It is a new restaurant in Kosuyolu Kadikoy area, it is not that big a few tables and few more on upstairs. We ordered lokum meat and kuzu sis along with drinks, they were okay and good cooked, lokum could be better and portions could be bigger. The starters were nice and very tasty and service was very good and attentive. The people with drinks we paid around 500 liras. It was a bit cold inside, but they helped with us by getting us near to fireplace. Whole restaurant and plates were sparkling clean. It is a good, promising restaurant, it has shortcomings as it is new, wishing the best for them. ”

“ I really liked the food and the service here. Nice and clean restaurant. Steaks and the kabobs are delicious. Definitely going back. Live oud performance was a plus. ”

- Cemre Ayhan -

“ If you're looking for a nice place with a family atmosphere, this is exactly what you're looking for. I highly recommend it in Koşuyolu. The grill master is unmatched on the Anatolian side of Istanbul. The place has an old-school grill concept. You absolutely must try the yağlama karası (a type of Turkish grill). Everyone in the place is friendly and welcoming ”

“ A must-visit for anyone looking for a quality grill experience in Koşuyolu. Anılar Ocak lives up to its name and ensures you create beautiful memories with every bite. Highly recommended! ”

“ It was very enjoyable, the kanun was played throughout the night, the waiters were very attentive and the Adana kebab was very successful. ”

- Esra Kökden -

“ The place is very clean; even though we sat at the grill, we left with absolutely no smell. The owners are friendly and attentive; they have a bit of a business acumen, but it doesn't seem out of place at all. The mezes are delicious because the variety isn't excessive. The eggplant stew with soy sauce that we had as a hot appetizer was legendary; I will definitely try it at home. As for the meats, we ordered shish kebab and minced meat kebab, and we were very satisfied with both. The shish kebab was incredibly tender, and the kebab melted in your mouth; it wasn't chewy at all. The most important thing is the price-performance ratio; the prices are really very reasonable, and the fact that the taste is top-notch at such an affordable price is more than enough reason to choose this place. The only negative point is that they don't sell 50cl raki; if they fix that, they will have more regulars. ”

“ In addition to its quiet and peaceful location, the food was delicious. The appetizers were fresh and delicious. We had the grilled shish kebab and Adana for our main course. The staff was friendly and attentive. I've added it to my list of places to return to. ”
