cznburak medeniyetler sofrası

cezan burak has been my favorite chef on social media due to his unique and outstanding dishes he makes. so how could we miss his restaurant visit when in turkey. we went to the main branch in atlier. the place was super crowded with waiting for 10 mins and it was worth the wait. thefoodwas so good. we ordered the mixed kebab and their famous meat platter. it was made live and it was so good. we loved the taste the flavour. we even had the assortrd appetizer. just like thefoodthe people were so friendly and staff was outstanding. loved it. it was worth the hype.

perfectfoodand excellent service, i loved the way they host you in and help you with the orders!
they are funny, friendly, helping, and entertaining.
thefoodwas something else in this world, it is my favorite place in istanbul till now! the spices, the meat, the rice, everything was mouthwatering!

traditional turkishfoodand a very authentic way of cooking, thefoodwas very tasty didn't expect that , if you're in istanbul you have to go there

czn burak we love you... we love the way you smile and the way you meet people.

my dream restaurant. watched hundreds of videos of czn for cooking various types of dishes.

great ambience. great environment. big dine in area. a lot of staffs.

very polite staffs very attentive and friendly. very fast and quick service.

thefoodis more than delicious. it’s outstanding.

one of the best restaurants
very deliciousfoodand the hospitality is amazing

it is recommended as it really deserve all what ypu pay .. not expensive at all

the waiters had such a bad attitude that we had to leave the place without trying any food
thefoodlooks great but the waiting staff and chefs look dirty so we did not want to take any risk
i personally would not recommend it if you care about hygiene and service

some places stand out and this restaurant is one of them! the way they serve and the way they preparefoodlive in front of you is an experience by itself as for the taste it is yummy ? everything is mouthwatering!! it’s a bit expensive but worth trying. the waiters are friendly and helpful. if you’re in the area give it a try!

nicefood, overcrowded and hyped probably because of the popularity of the chef, took 25 min to get a table but once seated service was very good and everything was served quickly.

thefoodwas very normal
but the service was a disaster and very slow
you had to call each person 5 times until they would come to you
nobody speaks english, they all ask you if you speak arabic and if you answer no they just leave your table and go to other people without ever coming back
super rude staff as if the restaurant owner told the waiters to only respect arab people and just ignore every other nationality
really disappointed and definitely i will never go back again there are a lot of better restaurants in istanbul with much greaterfoodand they don’t treat non arabs like this

we flew all the way to try this place and it definitely rose to our expectations.
theirfoodis a must try, i loved their way of presenting appetisers for us to select from.
i also loved the hospitality, they were very helpful and friendly and they took very good care of us.
to our good luck, chef burak was there as well.
thank you for having us, the experience was definitely wholesome!

we had high expectation for this place specially after recommendations from relatives and friends. however after paying it a visit in ramadan, it wasn’t what we expected and in particular for the price they charged us.

1, the place was so cramped with tables and people that you couldn’t even breath or find proper seating.
2, thefoodwas okay but nothing special. since we went for iftar, we were offered one quantity of each type which i was quite surprised and also thefoodtook ages to be served.
3, desserts were nothing special basic kunafa with several pieces of watermelon and sweet melon for 4 people.
4, there was only one wc to cater for the whole restaurant and most of the time it was packed. for a place with that size, i would have presumed they would have several wc’s.

i will probably go to a different restaurant next time having now known that i can get the samefoodand quality at a cheaper price but ultimately with a piece of mind. i am writing this review with a fat migraine.

so this place is the reason we flew to istanbul. burak has been my husband’s cooking inspiration for a while now and when we had a short break we decided to go and try to meet him. we got to the restaurant early around 3-4pm to avoid people traffic. best decision ever because on seating we saw the man himself who came over to say hello and meet our daughter. he took the cutest pictures with us despite being very tired that day. the staff, the shisha and thefoodwas just amazing. we will go by here everytime we go to istanbul. we ordered the lamb cooked in salt in the over and after a spectacular fire show at our table we dug in and we were not disappointed. great atmosphere, greatfoodand great prices!

we had rly high expectations since the place is very famous especially for lebanese people. we heard abt it and how thefoodis special and tasty
unfortunately we hated this place and will never come back again when in istanbul
we were 6 people, none of us liked the food
we ordered 1 plate ( kofta with cheese and bread ) we couldn't taste it!! the smell was horrible
hummus had a weird taste, labne with mint was nt bad as well as stuffed chicken cooked in salt paste , the show was gd
i guess this place is overrated

slow service and over priced
extremely show off
and why the waiter need to interrupt me just to take a picture with him , weird place , but thefoodwas fine and not great

service is really bad and slow!foodis normal i dont know what the fuss is all about! place is over crowded it took them almost 40 minutes to bring our plates! portion is not really that bad and taste is ordinary normal! overall, i believe the hype is not worth it and the waiters arent really that friendly! prices are expensive a little with respect to everything!
