Mashhad İstanbul Cafe & Lounge

Abaid M★★★

Food was ok, nothing crazy special, Lamachun was abit cold and wide had a word taste to the cheese. Weird vibe due to all the shisha etc, and they added a tip to my bill without asking me. I prefer to tip myself and not have one force added, and when I asked the waiter about it he got abit funny and was reluctant to remove. Definitely wasn't a great experience, just weird and disappointing.

I found this restaurant after leaving the tower close by. The staff are very friendly and are always smiling. The food was outstanding. I also ordered the meat stew which was very delicious and the spices were perfect. The waiter and I communicated using Google translate yet he was very patient with me. Above all, they were extremely nice to call me a cab to take me back to my hotel. Best lunch in Istanbul so far. Lots of love to the waiter that helped me and to the owners.

There is really atmospheric place with high quality food.

The food was excellent, as were the night views of the city. Had an odd experience where the server ignored me and only spoke to my male friend - he tried to walk away without taking my order and didn't acknowledge me at any point. I'm not sure if it was an honest mistake or because I'm a POC, a woman, or something else, but I've never experienced something like that before in a restaurant, it definitely made me uncomfortable.
