Reviews Summary
Ruhibey Restaurant 1949 offers a cozy atmosphere and personalized service, with many praising the generous and unique meze selection. However, some diners have experienced issues with slow or inattentive service, and a few found the food quality and pricing to be disappointing, with concerns about freshness and preparation. The overall experience can be inconsistent, with highlights on service from specific staff members.
"We came here about 8 years ago first time. Also, we came to here more than 3 times over the years. This time also we are happy. The atmosphere, the service, the people and of course the meze and the main dishes have been always perfect. If you come to Kas, you should spend and eat at least one night here."

"Food wasn’t that great and a bit overpriced… shrimp were tiny and so were the mushrooms.. the calamari was tough and did not seem fresh… service was pretty poor and un attentive as we asked for toasted bread and it took over 30 minutes… we honestly left still hungry and very unsatisfied. Definitely tons of better options"
Atof Abdelhamid
"We visited Ruhi Bey Kas after a friend recommended it, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to our expectations. The service was noticeably lacking — the restaurant seemed very understaffed, and the servers were clearly overwhelmed, running around in a frenzy. It really impacted the overall experience.
Hamdi was the one bright spot of the night. He was kind, attentive, and did his best to take care of us despite juggling several tables at once. His effort was appreciated, but one person can only do so much.
The food was just okay — nothing particularly special or better than what you’d find at similar places. The restaurant tries to offer a traditional meyhane experience, but the lack of good service takes away from it entirely.
Definitely don’t recommend."
