What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise İskele Sofrası for its delicious, authentic Turkish cuisine, especially the fresh seafood and generous portions. The warm, familial atmosphere and the exceptional hospitality of the owner, Hakan, are frequently highlighted as major draws. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, some patrons have noted that the heat can be a bit much on very hot evenings, as the restaurant relies on ventilators.
"We're incredibly happy we found this restaurant. We experienced Turkish hospitality and sampled Turkish specialties. The owner was incredibly kind, the portions were plentiful, and the view of the bay made the wait for our meals even more pleasant. Greetings from polish Family 🙂"

"We came to this restaurant during our holiday and had the most brilliant experience. The service was amazing, fast and kind. The owner made sure the fans were pointed towards us, and ensured we were comfortable the whole time.
The food was outstanding also, and we were even shown photos on the owners personal phone of every dish that they have to ensure we got something we would enjoy. Tastiest kebab i’ve had in a very, VERY, long time!
I cannot credit this place enough, and absolutely adore how it is family run, and very cosy. Definitely make this a stop on your holiday!!"

Iskele Sofrasi has a great freshly made meze selection (above), which doesn’t all appear on the menu so be sure to ask for it, as well as fantastic just-caught seafood. We tried grilled sea bream, huge prawns and squid, with a lightly dressed, lemony salad (below).
