Noah WeissOctober 2, 2014Some of the best inventive high-end Turkish food in the city, but at reasonable prices. The pastry with cheese appetizer was great, as was the sea bass main. Perfect romantic date spot.
Sarp ErkayaJanuary 20, 2015A good mix of classic Turkish dishes done in a new way. A good alternative to try out in Karakoy for an intimate evening in a cozy, romantic restaurant. 👍 (Also where I discovered Chamlija Riesling!)

John MellJune 19, 2014Loved every dish. Started with Samphire salad, spicy shrimp, and zucchini fritters. Seabass and smoked Seabeeem. Do not miss coming to this place. But call for a reservation in advance!
JamesMarch 5, 2014yotam ottolenghi gave a great recommendation! and boy was it a slam dunk of a meal. location was eh a best but the food and crowd make up for that, well priced! fritters and kadaif are both a must!!
Oleg BelovJune 26, 2014I love the zucchini (aubergine) fritters. The grilled sea bass was a simple, light and pleasant. The simple understated presentation would work perfectly in London as it stands Maya dominates Istanbul
John ASeptember 17, 2014Great place for modern meal... Shared 4 starters and two desserts... Sea bass /tomatoes was tasty as were the zucchini fritters.
Michael HoffmanDecember 27, 2012This restaurant kills it with simple yet very refined Turkish food made from immaculately sourced ingredients. Don't miss the stuffed mackerel appetizer, and be sure to reserve ahead!
