   We had a party of 10 to celebrate my husband’s dinner. Lovely service, delicious food family-style that they coursed out with accompanying changes of clean plates. Great communication about the pacing. I also ordered a cake to be delivered to the restaurant. They were readily accommodating and let me know as soon as I arrived that my cake had been delivered earlier in the afternoon as planned. We sat in a space upstairs where you can see the rest of the restaurant but had some noise separation.

   Went for the Valentine’s Day pre fix menu on 2/14/2025 Was expecting much better dishes and elaborate meals. Was a letdown considering the cost and expectations. Started salad was very mediocre. No flavor or anything to it. Second course - cauliflower dish was bland. Shrimp was alright. I still did not feel like it was Turkish cuisine. Main course - tried lamb and chicken. Tasted good but nothing amazing. Dessert - don’t even remember it.

   Staff and ambiance were impeccable, and made for a very positive experience. Valentine’s tasting menu was $98 per person and offered four courses, which I think is a fair price. The reason I left disappointed though was the food itself, its size, and the cocktail I had. All of the food my girlfriend and I ordered came out lukewarm, and parts of her main dish were even cool. The portions were all extremely small, and if you combined all my courses into a single plate they would’ve easily fit without any stacking or touching. The cumulative size for all courses would’ve been noticeably less than a single entrée plate at any other mid-level restaurant. The flavors were fine, but none of them great, and the Peach Bazaar cocktail I got tasted artificial and lacked any semblance of care for presentation. Overall, the ambiance and staff was great, but neither the food or cocktail was that good. I paid $260 for two people’s food, two bottles of sparkling water, one cocktail, one mocktail, and a 20% tip. I left hungry and had to find a taco shop to actually satisfy my appetite which shouldn’t happen at that price. I’m sure the regular menu is better, but my experience with the Valentine’s tasting menu was very disappointing and I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to friends or family.

   This is my 4th time coming to this restaurant. It is always a delight and surprise. They have delicious mocktails, creative, beautiful and delicious food. The wait staff seem to love the food and working there- it's fun to talk with them about the menu. I took my best friend from out of town there last night and she thought it was "amazing!"

   This was our first experience at Taksim. We did the 7 course tasting menu and enjoyed every item on the list. Food was absolutely amazing and the service was great. The shish kabab was to die for, the meat was super tender and juicy. Overall this was an amazing experience and I definitely recommend it.

   Incredible food and services. The cocktails are amazing - Galata was our favorite. The aubergine and the branzino are to die for. Food was so fresh and tasty overall. The only issue is the parking. Uber is way better on a Friday night!
