The worst Mado ever. They confuse dishes, they charge you tremendous prices (way higher than any other Mado), they charge you 10% service fee and do not even serve hot water to your tea pot.
The food quality is below any expectations
Will never be back. Hope they close soon
🤬🤬🤬
A great place for breakfast! 🍳
We took breakfast with a friend for two Sini Kahvalti (~700-800 Turkish lira).
Delicious, varied: vegetables, several types of cheese, scrambled eggs, potatoes, various toppings for bread and tea)
The wonderful staff - the waiter tried to make the atmosphere as comfortable as possible, prompted everything, helped to take off and put on outerwear, asked if we would like more tea :)
Despite the fact that Mado is a chain and, it would seem, corporate standards, menus and ingredients should be the same, there is a very strong difference between establishments in different locations. This particular point is the best in terms of the quality of the dishes. The service is worse here, there is no menu in English, you can only navigate by pictures. For comparison, there is an English menu on Istiklal Street, and the waiters are pleasant. At two other points (in the Mall of Istanbul and near the marina in the same Sultanahmet) the quality of the food is disgusting (as well as the quality of the service). We ordered the same items as in Mado in Sultanahmet district, but they turned out to be completely different in taste. Therefore, do not rely on the network – you need to choose specific points.
The prices in the institution are average for the current Istanbul. Dinner for two went out at about 1000-1300 lire. I liked that in the restaurant you can choose both national cuisine and more familiar European dishes (they are also of very good quality). The best we found in a week in Istanbul on an average budget.
A good chain coffee shop. The coffee selection is excellent. In general, one of my favorite grids (I often visit Istanbul). But there are a lot of people in this one, as the area is very busy.
Beautiful view from the 4th floor of the cafe. Delicious desserts, amazing Turkish coffee. Friendly, helpful staff. I recommend this cafe to visit❤❤❤❤❤
It seems to be a well-known chain of establishments in Istanbul, but when we got there we were a little surprised.
Firstly, they put us at a table on the street and safely forgot about us. Until we desperately started waving at the waiters, trying to get attention.
Secondly, you will not find prices in the menu (attention now). They just don't exist. In response to a reasonable question, the waiter will bring you an additional card, from which nothing is clear without detailed preparation anyway.
So, upset, angry and hungry, we left this place.
We purposefully went to the 4th floor for a beautiful view, as a result, the staff persuaded us to stay below, since there were no visitors upstairs and they were too lazy to serve us. Then the waiter, if you can call him that, turned on his series at full volume, laughed and ignored us. Those breakfasts (the cheapest in price) that we chose, he deliberately said no to them, we had to choose expensive ones, but their composition is exactly the same, only with a large volume - already a deception. They left dirty napkins during breakfast and decided to check if he would clean them- of course not! I had to poke him straight. He went to another floor to get the change and... I decided not to come back, I waited until we left, but I basically sat and waited. He came up, casually threw it on the table and silently left. Neither hello, nor goodbye. This is the attitude towards foreigners. Food for three. We gave away about 2k, eventually bought a street wet burger and were delighted. In Moscow, I have breakfast for 2 people for two with salmon, scrabble, grain bread, delicious pate and coffee in an expensive restaurant, dessert and a granule with Greek yogurt, and it's unclear who kind of promoted a chain of eateries. Breakfast in the photo (one plate) costs 1500 rubles!!!! They didn't even take tea there, which is 4 times overpriced
We chose a cafe because it has several floors, and the last one has a good view.
We went there for tea and desserts.
Pokhlov is in the assortment, very tasty.
Prices are the same everywhere in the center. 200-300 liras per person were left.
The service is good. Clear.
I recommend.
Especially if you manage to get a table by the window in the evening on a higher floor)
Были в ноябре 2019 года. Очень вкусная пахлава. До посиделок на балконе с чаем не дошло, но очень хотелось. Обслуживали быстро и понятливо. Обошлись без английского и турецкого. На ремонт внимание не обратила. Я не для этого на отдых езжу.
Были в апреле 2023 года. Обслуживают быстро. Цены средние, но качество стало хуже. Пахлава совсем не вкусная и сухая. Брали в другом месте, но за очень дорого.
Вкусности/сладости вот прям на 5 баллов. Мороженное-дандурма выше всяких похвал. Лепёшки Гезлиме тоже отменны (рекомендую с сыром). Вид на набережной Каракей прекрасен. Но….во-первых меню в связи с пандемией только онлайн. Кто без интернета-увы….только корявые объяснялки официанта. Во-вторых очень неспешно. Если опаздываете не паром, то имейте в виду, что за 30 минут не успеете. Официанты вроде все кивнули, запомнили, но могут принести не то. По соотношению цена/качество на 01.2022, то просто супер! За 20$ мороженое/кофе/чай/лепешка прям вот объешься….
В это Мадо лучше не ходить. Обслуживание очень долгое. С блюдами и напитками халтурят: гюзлеме жареное на сковороде, очень масляное. Вместо смузи принесли лимонад, без дондурмы. Жидкий. Попросили заменить. Принесли то же самое. В общем, разочарование. Мадо в Мармарисе намного лучше.
Были в январе 2022. Ужасное место: плохое обслуживание, горячее блюдо было не свежим, холодным, складывалось ощущение, что его приготовили заранее и для нас подогрели, а там на минутку был картофель фри. Единственное, молочный коктейль был хорош.

Tasteless baklava and cheesecake, stale! I flew into the trash , I don't recommend it!!!
Мало в районе фатих это полный ужас. Мигранты официанты. Никто не знает языка. Обслуживание ужасное. Второй третий этаж закрывают. Администратора нет. Уровень цивилизации -попуасы.
