    Nobu always serve the best sashimi grade salmon & tuna we've found anywhere in the world. The Istanbul restaurant has great people looking after you too, it wasn't that busy as we ate early in the evening which was a perfect ambience for our dinner. Views aren't bad either!

    We returned to this restaurant years after our first to find it even better than our memories. We had been hosted by a local businessman with his family. My wife worked with some of family back home and they wanted us to experience a true Turkish dinner. We were hoping that what we remembered was accurate. We were not disappointed. We tried as much of the offerings as we could comfortably consume. Every item was memorable, tasteful and new. This is why we travel and eat local. I can get chicken nuggets and fries anywhere. I want authentic foods prepared and served with pride and care. From beginning to end the staff and service deserves recognition for their excellent service. Cemal was our waiter and was able to guide us to the best choice’s. I will return and wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. I do need to add that the views are amazing. You can view the Blue Mosque from your table on the 6th floor. A visit should be on everyone’s menu to Istanbul.
