This fish restaurant has great, fresh food, excellent wines and a friendly atmosphere. Only downside is that it is fairly expensive and the decor is very generic fish restaurant (boats, nets). But it is great!

What fish and chips means for British is almost same for fish and raki for Turkish and Tunali Balikcikoy serves one of the best combination with delicious and fresh mezes. But do not have too much meze before the main course since there is always good alternatives. Balikcikoy is a good restaurant to visit moreover if you are around Tunali... More

This is the first restaurant of Balikcikoy chains... It's very good but the one at Arjantin street is one of the best in town... just read my review about that place..

The food is average, the service is average, the staff is average and the final check is just robbery! You will ask for one raki and pay for 5! Many items not ordered will be on your bill, so if you do not want your meal messed up, then pass by this bloody restaurant..

Recommended by local contact. The experience is amazing. Very original approach - don't choose from a formal menu - select starters from a display brought to the table, select your fish from the fresh ones on display. All great food, attentive, somewhat informal and very helpful service. It is an experience in every way.

I just know one thing... I would always go to the restaurant where the chef waiter ''Enver abi'' (like brother Anvar) is in charge... Just follow him and you will see what happens to restaurants with and without him... The atmosphere and decorations are the best ever I have seen in my life... So much effort and so many lovely...
