This place won’t disappoint you! The staff, from manager to waiters, is very friendly and professional. The food is superb and comes at reasonable prices, especially considering the great central location of the restaurant. I would recommend the Burger, Quattro Formaggi pizza or any of their cocktails! A great place you should check out if you’re anywhere in Taxim

A great little place for a coffee, looks small and almost missed it from the outside. But once inside you'll see how far back the cafe goes. The coffee was exceptional which was the reason I came here. The decor inside gives it a little nostalgic feel to it.

We were unsure about coming here first, but we are so glad we did! The decor and atmosphere was 10/10 and the food was delicious. One of the top meals we’ve had whilst visiting Istanbul! We ordered the dynamite shrimp, chicken tacos, homemade ravioli and the smoked rib burger (best burger we’ve had since being here). If you are considering coming here definitely do, amazing food, amazing service and great value for money.

OMG ! I simply can’t recommend this amazing place enough! As a world traveler this is absolutely fabulous . The service was exceptional! Food and drinks recommendations were fantastic! That said goes along with fantastic culinary skills from the kitchen. Food was delicious and great choice. Yet so close to the busiest shopping St in Beyoglu. What a great find for a Friday night with great food, cocktails, wine and service!!!!! Highly recommended! They deserve it!

Can not recommend this restaurant / bar enough! Great Ambiente, good location and amazing food! I was here two years ago and didn’t miss the opportunity to visit again last week during my second time in Istanbul! The food is truly amazing - the ingredients taste super fresh and you have a wide choice of great dishes. We came twice this time and tried the pizza quattro formaggi, the burger, the grain salad and the desserts.

Incredible atmosphere and the food was great. The owners were lovely and I can’t say enough about the place. I will 100% choose to return if I return to Istanbul. Saturday nights they have live Jazz music so that an extra perk

I only drank 2 beers with a friend on a quiet wednesday night. Soon we were the only guests. A hard to evaluate situation unless all the little things from the lighting to the background music to the slow turning fans on the ceiling and to the service are all incredible perfect. Tastes differ but Şimdi is able to deliver an experience by sutile things. A perfect cooled beer glass, crunchy potato chips and an interesting menu all add to the perfection. And being hidden in a monumental building just a few steps away from the noisy and often artificial styles of Istiklal makes this a secret paradise..... ooops I just blown a secret....
