venge bir daha asla! - venge cok bozulmus. tam bir rezalet. etlerin hepsini salcaya bulayip oyle pisirmisler. soguk geliyor yemekler. porsiyonlar minicik. kuzu sis 5 parca minicik kup et geldi (cop sis boyutundan az bir buyuk dusunun) soguk ve sert. doymak mumkun degil. gavurdagi cevizsiz bol kimyon eklenmis domates salatasindan baska birsey degildi ozensiz hazirlanmis. servis elemanlari cok suratsiz. kisi basi 5 lira kuvas yaziliyor hesaba bu ek 20 lira nedir diye sorunca pecete su ekmek diye bir cevap verdi garson. cok ayip buldum bu uygulamayi. isim icin gidiyor bu kadar insan diye dusundum cunku yemekler gercekten cok kotuydu. namli, set kebab, sirvan bile bundan kat kat kat lezzetli ve guler yuzlu servis.

worst kebab in istanbul - we were at venge the other night and really had a terrible experience. the food was cold, the meat and chicken kedab dry as can be. the waiters all seemed to be in a bad mood. there was a huge screen showing a football match which is not something you want to be sitting next to during a romantic evening out. there are several lcd screens placed throughout the garden (also showing the game) which i thought was irrelevant to the atmosphere. even though the ambiance is more like a traditional turkish tea garden with all the screens the prices for the dishes are quite high 21 lira for 5 tiny cubes of meat on plate with a spoon of bulghur next to it ( all cold ). plus they ask for an extra 5 lira a head when we asked the waiter what this was seeing 20 lira extra on our tab, he said it was for water, bread and napkins. we found this funny to be honest because you are never charged for napkins in turkey (strange). i have come to the conclusion that people go there just for the name because the food was atrocious! we complained to the manager but he didn't seem to care and was quite rude to be honest. we later found out that many of our friends have had similar experiences. there are hundreds of fantastic kebab restaurants in istanbul, but this is not one of them. hope this comment helps.
