Our favorite place each time we visit Istanbul♥️ Beautiful mezze, very fresh fish,,warm atmosphere and lovely, welcoming staff. Away from tourist spots and a mix of mostly locals enjoying time together. Go up to the terrace and reserve your table by the window for a sunset soaked delicious meal!

I've had my eye on Aret'in Yeri for a while, and their meze selection immediately caught my attention. I wish I had come with a group so I could have tried more! The lakerda was an easy 10/10—the best I’ve ever had. The topik? Also 10/10! I usually say my family makes it best, but Aret’in Yeri might just beat me on that. I also tried the grilled anchovies based on the waiter’s recommendation, and I’m so grateful I did—it was fantastic. Nothing beats the joy of delicious meze, fresh fish, and a glass of rakı as the sun sets. The restaurant is in Nevizade with a terrace—not much of a view, but the food more than makes up for it. Prices are reasonable, and I truly appreciate the experience. This meal brought me so much joy and even helped ease my homesickness. Highly recommended!

By far the best meal we have had in our two weeks in Turkey! A huge variety of mezzes Loved the cheese with pistachio and sundried tomatoes with figs! Delicious cheese pastry and the sardines were perfectly cooked! Our waiter Mehmet was friendly and really looked after us! Highly recommended…. We will surely Be back when we visit again

Had delicious fish dishes - sea bass, calamari and anchovies. The staff does not speak English, but that was not a big problem. We sat outside, the overhead heating was too hot for English people :)

Great quality meyhane with an amazing rooftop. Unique Armenian mezze and fantastic, delicious hamsi kebab thing. Pricey but good quality, I will definitely be back! A bit smoky, try and sit by a window
