                                                              Taksim is a "hidden gem" offering a delightful fusion of traditional Turkish and modern cuisine. Guests rave about its "fantastic" food, especially the lamb carpaccio and branzino, and the "amazing" service. The seven-course tasting menu is highly recommended for its value and variety. The ambiance is "elegantly" industrial, providing a unique dining experience.

We ordered the 7 course tasting menu and every dish was excellent. Portions were perfect (not too big), and we had enough room to gobble up the incredible donut desert. I can’t recommend Takim enough. We will be back and will tell all our friends about it.

A lentil soup would have been nice for a Vegan protein. I didn’t see a hearty vegan protein on the menu. I booked the restaurant because it didn’t have the usual Beyond Beef hamburger which most restaurants will resort. We had a lovely time and the service was impeccable.

True to its culture, it indeed blended the old traditional Turkish cuisine with a modern touch by having locally sourced sustainable ingredients. Food is really good! The kitchen is so organized. Our host named Birkan made our dining experience a great one. Very attentive to our needs (not to mention he’s very good looking). I highly recommend this restaurant.
