Fodor's "One of Sultanahmet's most outstanding restaurants emphasizes the Arab- and Kurdish-influenced cuisine of southeastern Turkey, from where the restaurant's owners hail." Full review
Frommer's "This new, smart standout in a sea of mediocrity brings not only good food, but good recipes from the Gaziantep and Antakya regions of Southeast Anatolia to the neighborhood." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A cut above the usual kebab shop, this attractive restaurant offers dishes from the southern regions of Gaziantep and Antakya, including a reasonable number of vegetarian options."
Rough Guide "If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this is the nearest place to sample authentic southeastern Turkish cuisine."
Afar Magazine "Ask most tourism representatives, restaurateurs, and waiters in Old Istanbul to recommend a restaurant, and most will offer Khorasani Ocakbaşı and Kebabhouse." Full review
Time Out "Up stairs, selections from the Ottoman Cuisine,seasonal fish, pasta and stir-fried meals are served. And the top floor is decorated like a café in Nişantaşı with wide square tables." Full review

Fodor's "Rising chef Civan Er...puts a unique and contemporary twist on traditional Turkish dishes, using ingredients sourced from local producers in different regions of the country." Full review
Lonely Planet "Loved by local foodies, Yeni Lokanta has an attractive tiled interior with a backlit bar as its focal point." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Three years after opening his modern Turkish bistro, chef Civan Er remains at the top of the game with Anatolian-inspired dishes like dried eggplant-stuffed manti and green beans cloaked in yogurt." Full review
Time Out "A selection of both cold and hot meze, and features only four main entrées. The common theme running through all of them is a blending of traditional Turkish dishes with unexpected ingredients. " Full review
Frommer's "The menu changes seasonally but always offers a unique vision of Turkish food. Traditional recipes and ingredients are given a contemporary twist." Full review
Lonely Planet "Yeni Lokanta means ‘new restaurant’ in Turkish and chef Civan Er certainly puts his own new – and delicious – twist on Turkish cuisine, serving mantı (dumplings in yoghurt sauce)." Full review

"You can enjoy Turkish flavours that draw on original ideas, resulting in fresher and lighter dishes that lose none of their exuberance. Order à la carte or opt for the set menu" Full review
