Deraliye

Absolutely the best restaurant we tried in Istanbul! Just a few minutes’ walk from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, it’s a true hidden gem in the heart of the city. We were amazed by the unique flavors, especially the seasonal specialties like the pomegranate meatballs, which were unforgettable. The quality of the ingredients is exceptional, and you can really taste the authenticity of Turkish cuisine brought to life in every bite. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely happy to share their culture and culinary traditions with guests. If I had more days in Istanbul, I would definitely come back again and again. A wonderful place that I will recommend to anyone visiting this beautiful city!

Cena spettacolare, abbiamo provato il menù degustazione del sultano… da rifare sicuramente! ✨

Gentilissimi e professionali. Cibo delizioso. Location impeccabile, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

Herzamanki gibi harika yemekler yendi, iletebildigim tek öneri çocuklar için somon baliginin kilciklari alinsa daha iyi olurdu. Garsonlar son derece ilgili ve nazikler. Geri kalan herseyden fazlasiyla memnunduk!

1 of 4 items ordered was not upto the mark. The tables with more guests received more attention, than mine did. Also received a wrong dish, which was corrected after I brought it to their attention. For a Michelin star place, I did not expect it to have such mishaps on a non-busy day/non-busy hour. The Baklava with ice cream did the heavy lifting, as saving grace.

Service sympathique, tres belle vue sir la ville. cuisine déplorable, viande dure, légumes non assaisonnes, salade Grecque de supermarché

One of the best dinner during our trip. The friendliest waiter in Turkey :).

Très bonne cuisine turque avec une vue magnifique sur le bosphore et le service est irréprochable Je le recommande vivement

Pablo was great! Service and food was amazing. Thank you.

Cucina ricca di sapori, ambiente confortevole, atmosfera rilassante, da provare.

Nice service and nice food and nice ambience - much recommended

Average food - terrasse on the roof offers a nice view. Expensive.

Extraordinaire. Vaut une étoîle. Accueil rare et chaleureux par ce chef passionné et enthousiaste qui nous a initié à l'art culinaire des sultans. Bravo !

Delicious lamb dishes. Exceptional service and very friendly staff! Thanks for the great meal!

Although we could not have degustation menu because there was an event we had an excellent diner The mezze starter were very tasty , the bread gorgeous! So light , absolutely delicious. Mains ( lamb shank or some sort - sorry forgot name and chicken on eggplant ) were perfect . Staff were perfect, attentive to needs and friendly too. I wish we had gone back tonight instead of trying something else 😂 Highest recommendations !

Great experience: unparalleled service, tasty Flavours, Turkish atmosphère. Simply perfect!

We had a great time at the restaurant, food was great and service even better. Thanks for having us!

Very polite and funny service The food was nice and delicious

We had the brisket and the duck nasty. Both were magnificent. This place is a must eat at while in Istanbul.

Just amazing, the restaurant also acknowledged a special birthday for my wife in a special way

Schitterend uitzicht op Haga Sophia en Blue mosque. Overheerlijke Iftar maaltijd en vriendelijk personeel

A pleasant experience to try Ottoman cuisine. Food was delicious and staff was attentive

A lovely, welcoming team and great food to make a lovely night. Will definitely return on our next visit to Istanbul.

Excellent authentic food, very good service. Knowledgeable and kind people.

Very good and fast service! Knowledgeable waitresses. Tasty starters and nice atmosphere.

Ristorante vuoto giovedi sera Location non nuovissima e senza fascino. Abbiamo scelto un piatto a testa (3 commensali) caro e discreto Tutto qui

Excellent food by one of the most popular Turkish chef !!! Great experience!!!

Food and service were fantastic. A real gem. Highly recommended.

Great visit to this restaurant. Impeccable service and atmosphere. Would throughly recommend

I don't get the hype. Very average food and ambiance all over.

Had the most amazing food. The service was fantastic. Emrah made us feel very welcome and looked after. His food recommendations were also fantastic. We will certainly be back again. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Istanbul!

Great service and food quality. Very happy staff and good portion sizes and prices

Great service. Thanks Pablo love dessert and your attentions. Recomended

Cena ottima Qualita' ottima e piatti abbondanti ed equilibrati Pane caldo dolce e the offerto Servizio eccellente

Attentive service, delicious food, unique dishes. Couldn't ask for more.

On a passé une soirée inoubliable. Tout était parfait. La cuisine était savoureuse et cuisiné à la perfection. Notre serveur Emrah orchestrait l’arrivage des plats avec une très grande dextérité. Une superbe adresse.

Locale molto accogliente personale gentile e professionale nel cuore di iatanbul..consigliato vivamente

Finally tasted cuisine of legend Yilmaz. Experience went beyond better than (already so high) expectations. OUTSTANDING

Descubrí este restaurante en la web de Tripadvisor. Cumplió a la perfección con mis expectativas.

We have enjoyed the staff which was very nice and friendly and also tasty dishes. Hot recommendation!

The food was OK but, not good. Even the main dig was not frashly cooked/barbecued as it arrived in medium temperature. Propably overrated.

Relaxed setting Good quality food , good varied menu A step up from the other restaurants we went to in our trip

Food was okay can be better for sure !!!!!!!)gjkk jjj

Nice and pretty place. Good service and good food. I recommend!

Visited for my husband's birthday. Told straight away no dishes available from sultans menu or fish. Reserved for a birthday celebration a month before and was not even offered dessert after our meal. Very poor service. Priority redirected to a large tourist group which should not impact service for other guests.

9 ay önce geldiğimiz, ambiyansına hayran olduğumuz ve bizi bir daha getirten bir mekan!

The service was terrible. The waiter tried to remove my friends shrimp soup before he had finished eating. My main course was served to me at the table whilst I was eating my starter. I think the waiter wanted to go home quickly and tried to rush us. We were not late arriving to the restaurant and had precooked the table.

Was everything we expected and more, outstanding food and service

Dining at Deraliye was fantastic. The food was rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and a real celebration of Turkish cuisine. The service was equally outstanding—we were treated like royalty, as if dining in the time of sultans and kings. Special thanks to our waiter, Emrah, who was exceptional. His attention to detail made the evening feel truly royal and unforgettable. If you're in Istanbul, Deraliye is a must-visit!
