I love sitting outside in the shade, with lunch and a cold lemonade. Perfect day! The cafe is easy to find, and very relaxing. The food is great. I had the köfte meal. Perfectly cooked. The bread is just like my grandma used to make. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Food was good for the price, the service was also really good. Appetizers are free. It was nice to sit outside, in the street. Overall the place has a nice environment just to relax and have your meal. I recommend to sit outside. My girl it’s really picky and she loved it. Also it’s really close to the hamam and mosque. They have free wifi.
