Fodor's "This longtime grillhouse is an Istanbul institution, with its huge selection of kebabs." Full review
Frommer's "This is a good alternative to the overpriced mediocrity of Pandeli Lokantasi only steps from the entrance to the Egyptian Spice Market." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Starched white tablecloths, the smell of spices, and plenty of bustle and clamor accompany the plates of spicy kebaps at Istanbul’s favorite Anatolian restaurant." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The main draw at this popular restaurant, located behind the Spice Bazaar, is the spectacular view over the Golden Horn from the upper floors."
Rough Guide "The uninspiring facade of this five-storey joint fronting the square in Eminönü belies the quality and value of the food on offer inside."
Frommer's "This is a good-quality kebab restaurant that has gained an elevated status because of its location (next to the Spice Bazaar) and view (across the Golden Horn towards Galata Tower)." Full review

It has become incredibly popular with tourists and locals, so it's advisable to make a reservation, and make sure to request a table by the window so you can fully appreciate that view.
