Fantastic experience, a must in Istanbul. The staff were great.

We enjoyed an iftar meal with a delicious selection of hot and cold starters and a tasty lamb main dish. Desserts were very sweet. We particularly liked the opportunity to have a special culturally different experience with such great service and atmosphere.

Cena davvero ottima. Dagli antipasti all’agnello, tutto delizioso. Atmosfera piacevole e servizio attento

Merveilleux plats toppp excellent on reviendra inchalah soon very soin

Amazing experience of superb culinary taste. Kind and professional personnel and nice location.

Very good restaurant and amazing staff. Very tasty food, especially lamb shank and the honey rolls

It was amazing! We loved the night there a lot!

This was our second bisit to Istanbul from the United States and second time dining at Matbah….and NOT our last! The Maitre ‘d and his team were welcoming and the continued excellent service and FOOD are exceptional! Great

Nice food but all the place was full with an organized group and our table was at the door 😅. All the good of the position was gone. No visual on anything. They seem to struggle a little with the group, we waited some time

Beautiful setting, great food and service. With some gluten-free bread to boot!

Nice stuff, good and interesting food. Wines bit pricy compared to quality

De l’entrée au dessert tout était parfait Cuisine d’inspiration ottomane revue et visiter avec finesse et délicatesse.

atmosfera elegante e servizio cordiale e attento cibi ottimi e ottomani

Absolutely stunning cuisine and amazing friendly staff super quick service

Vibe and food are so good, see you next time

I had a great experience Food was great Order a lamb shank that was divine There was a party of 40 Chinese tourists, getting tea and dessert and they were just loud. Service was impeccable hospitality with impeccable. They follow traditional ottoman gift and give me a small bead necklace

We loved the woman waitress and the delicious food and service. Highly recommended! Very surprised to receive jewelry at the end too :)

Matbah her seferinde muhtesem lezzetleri ve nazik konukseverligiyle mutlu ayrilmami sagliyor..Cok seviyorum

Absolutely great. The service and food were fabulous and I would recommend this restaurant without any hesitation.

On a passé une soirée inoubliable. Tout était parfait. La cuisine était savoureuse et cuisiné à la perfection. On a vraiment apprécié l’originalité et le sens de la tradition dans chaque plat. Un vrai voyage dans le temps Une superbe adresse.

Consigliato. Bella la location e piatti tradizionali da provare. Un po’ caro

Posto accogliente, personale gentile, buono il cibo. E’ stata una bella esperienza

Buona l’accoglienza e la disponibilità nel servirci. Rapidi ed efficienti. Mi aspettavo un cibo più raffinato visto la nomina sulla guida Michelin. Nel complesso positivo ma nulla di straordinario.

The food was delicious and loved seeing the time periods, historically, when they were served. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend.

tutto perfetto cortesia e buon cibo! professionalità e velocità nel servizio. prezzo ottimo e materie prime top. consigliato!

The food could have been better in taste, although the staff are good.

The service is below standard. 1. I ordered a glass of red wine and it never came. 2. During the whole meal, no one came to say a word. No refilling of my water. 3. Main course came five minutes after my salad (1/3 finished). I told the waiter that I was still eating. He said “ok ok”, then moved my salad to the side and put the main course in front of me. They did offer a complimentary coffee or tea without saying the reason. I guess it was probably because they found out they forgot the wine when I asked for bill. I declined the offer.

Everything was delicious, and service was excellent. We girlfriend came from US and she loved it.

Thanks a lot! It was amazing! Hospitable service and wonderful dishes! 🙏

Vista bellissima. Piatti buoni, non eccezionali. E non sembravano preparati sul momento. Servizio poco attento. Prezzi eccessivi per quanto ricevuto.

Totalmente incoerente con la menzione Michelin 2023. Cibo non espresso difficilmente digeribile e comunque nemmeno buono come ristoranti di categorie inferiori, prezzi del vino offensivi. Non consiglio!

We enjoyed our lunch. Everything was delicious. Would highly recommend

The food was fantastic. The best lamb shank I have ever had. The eggplant is amazing too.

Best meal in Istanbul so far - our fourth. Lovely ambience, food prepared well

Raffinierte Gerichte, Vielfalt an Aromen, gute Zutaten, perfekter Service, wir können das Restaurant nur empfehlen

It turned out to be a disappointment. For the money I paid, I would have eaten better at another Turkish restaurant that is also listed in the Michelin guide as Deralyie Restaurant.

Excellent staff, very nice tastes and atmosphere. Surely to be recommended.

Overall, it was good, but nothing extraordinary. Below the expectation in terms of the experience of dinning at a michelin star restaurant. Great service though and friendly staff.

80% of the wine list wasn’t available. That was sad.

Restaurant up to expectations. The menu offers a good variety, and the service is attentive and friendly. Based on the reviews, I expected a much higher final cost, but it turned out to be reasonable (also thanks to skipping wines and desserts). Recommended for those staying in Sultanahmet.

One of the best option in Sultanahmet for lunch or dinner. Great food, good prices, nice atmosphere.

Excellent experience, with great atmosphere, service and food! It was a pleasant lunch

Die Küche war kreativ und die Gerichte ausgezeichnet abgeschmeckt. Man kann sich auf den Abend freuen!

Location adiacente a Santa Sofia, ambienti molto belli e raffinati, in stile Turco. Servizio attento e cucina davvero eccellente, in grado di sprigionare piacevoli sapori e sensazioni che nei normali ristoranti del luogo non sono percepibili. Bravi!

We enjoyed the iftar it was really tasty and the service was excellent. The location is very nice also it is right next to Aya Sofia… We want to thank all the staff for the great service.

Top food, top staff, top location. Wiil return and recommend to food lovers.

All ok Price wine very expensive Good restaurant Service ok

Really nice. Good food. Interesting recipes. Friendly service. Especially Sevgi, our server, was so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Karsilama, agirlama ve ugurlama gayet nazik ve profesyoneldi. Lezzet genel olarak guzeldi fakat ayran ile güllaç için maalesef aynı şeyi söyleyemeyeceğim. İkisi de 2. sınıf bir mekan kalitesindeydi.

Very disappointed. The waiter didn’t bring what we ordered for our meal.
