✨ HighlightHeaven indeed! Perfect service, wonderful atmosphere, professional staff. I can say this is the best restaurant I’ve been to in Turkey so far! First of all, the neighborhood is a busy crowded district so their carpark is a great help. They welcome you as they open the door for you and then help you choose a table. Everything is clean, neat, and organized. We ordered different kinds of steaks and three of them were fantastic! the meat melted in our mouth! They bring lots of side dishes and they are amazingly delicious. We ordered tea and they brought a huge samaver, put it on our table with extra clean tea glasses!! their baklavas are superb, with the taste of butter and pistachio. Their restrooms are clean and smell nice! this restaurant needs to be recognized as an example of the best in Turkey. Highly recommended.→
