What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Chef Kebap Restaurant for its delicious Turkish cuisine, particularly the kebabs and pottery kebab, and the attentive service that often includes complimentary items. The stunning city views, especially from the top floor during sunset, enhance the dining experience. However, some guests have reported issues with incorrect orders and arguments over portion sizes, alongside a mandatory service fee.
"To be honest one of the best foods I had in Turkey (I have been to over 7 cities). Slightly more expensive but it’s understandable and worth the price. Our server Ale (sorry if I wrote it wrong), he was very nice and attentive to us. Definitely a nice place to come and specially to sit at the terrace. Certainly recommend."

"Had to write this review twice as it seems they have two Google map accounts. The atmosphere is probably the only good thing about this place. Everything else was a mess.
First, they brought us the wrong salad. Normally, that wouldn’t be a big deal—until you hear what followed.
My wife asked for one tea. They brought two—something I now realize they do often (check other reviews). When I told the waiter we only ordered one, he looked me in the eye, smiled, took a sip of the tea, and walked away. I’m not making this up.
Then we ordered the KİŞİLİK & ÜZERİ KARIŞIK IZGARA, meant for 3 or more people. What they brought us clearly looked like the portion for two. I compared it to photos and pointed this out. Instead of making it right, two different staff members argued and insisted it was the larger portion. Most people might give up at that point—I didn’t.
And guess what? They automatically add a 10% service fee. I usually tip 20% when service is great. This wasn’t.
To top it off, when I asked for a to-go box for the leftovers (because my wife barely touched her food after all this), they brought out a container so tiny it was almost insulting. I attached a photo—decide for yourself.
Oh—and that wrong salad? I’m about 90% sure they just gave it to the table behind us. No joke.
Had my wife not been there, I might’ve lost my temper. This place disrespected us at every turn.
Don’t waste your money here. There are way better spots with honest service and way better food nearby. Their food is also very dry and mediocre."

"Good variety of local dishes. The staff were friendly and efficient. Ordered a Kebap and the tea, bread, salads and a rice pudding were included in the meal price. Average waiting time and lots of seating space. The top floor has a better view of the surrounding which makes it an even better dining experience. Food was delicious, filling and worth the price."
