Maharet Restoran

A nice little place located in Şişli, with super friendly staff. The first night that I stopped in, we were about 16 people — but this didn’t phase the staff at all. They were incredibly kind and treated us like we were family. Maharet offers a good variety of dishes, from salads to pizza, kebabs and breakfast items. We all ordered different dishes, and everyone really enjoyed what they had selected. The food was fresh and the service was quick. I’m not 100% sure, but I think they make their own yogurt; one of the waiters came around our table with a bowl of yogurt and spoon-​fed every single one of us (we each got our own spoons) — it was delicious! They also make fresh pomegranate juice, and that was a big hit at our table. Prices are very reasonable and you can stop in at any time of the day — I think they close around 11pm. If you try to speak to the staff in Turkish, they will love you!
