    The service here is off the charts. Views of the Bosphorus are amazing. I was here for lunch and I had the "eksi köfte" as soup and "İskender kebap" as entree. The kebab was so good I had a second.

    Took friends and family for a feast last weekend at Hamdi. Amazing views, great foods. Generous servings, super friendly staff. Had five different firework displays around us. Was a heavenly evening.

    Consider sharing a kunefe as dessert. Mild white cheese is wrapped in pastry, baked until golden brown, sprinkled with a light lemony syrup, and garnished with an abundance of chopped pistachios. Read more

    The best kebabs ever, with some of the best views ever, as well as some of the best baklava ever. Be sure to come in and make a reservation when you first arrive in Istanbul to get a good table.

    The pistachio kebab is great, but go heavy on the meze platters to start. Request the top floor so you have a great river view.

    "If you want to eat in front of the beautiful Galata Tower & Bosphorus scenery on a sunny day.." (be careful what you eat & drink - even the refilled water isn't for free!) Prices are way too high!

    Food, service and view - ALL good. Had the Iskandar Kebab and it was delish! I also thought the Baklava with cream filling was better than the ones without.

    The restaurant, founded by Hamdi Arpacıklı, expresses great effort and success. Hamdi, who came to Istanbul in 1960 and became a street seller, immediately became famous for his delicious kebabs. Read more

    There's a reason why the Arab world rates Hamdi above all others: the food is truly awesome with a delicate balance of flavours. The view is also splendid.
