Meşhur Balıkçı Eyyup Usta truly deserves a 5 out of 5! It’s famous for its delicious fish sandwiches, and they definitely live up to the reputation—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The place has a simple, local charm, and the food quality is outstanding for the price. It’s a great spot to enjoy an authentic Turkish street food experience by the water. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul who loves good seafood and genuine hospitality.

Many local stalls selling fish wrap around. Very competitive, yet this stall is atttacting many customers despite not in the most prime location. When you look at how they do the wrap (taking out the bones, adding the sauce), you’ll have the answer.

The staffs are so nice. We ordered 1 wrap for 2 of us. They gently ask cut it half for us. The seasoning is fabulous. We really enjoy it. And the lemon soda is good too. Worth to have a try. The sweetest part for me is they provide the wet towel for us which really thoughtful.

We had the fish wrap and it was soooo good. Fish was nicely done and we didn’t get any bones. The wrap itself was the highlight for me - how deliciously seasoned it was:)) staff was super nice and service was fast!

Don’t expect a luxury place—you’re just paying for the food. The quality and cooking are excellent. Definitely worth trying.

Very delicious Fish sandwich. The flavour was amazing. A true 5 star sandwich. The sandwich is spicy so if you don’t like spicy tell them. The staff are so nice.

The restaurant looked humble but really cozy. Staff were very accomodating and care about me. Above all, food was fantastic. I ordered a double wrap and fish was tender so I wasn’t chewy at all. Proper salty, proper tangy, vegitable taste made this wrap the best fish kebap.

Run! This is a gem of a place. I arrived just before the lunch time crowd. Seating can be limited. You’ll be pushed along after you finish eating. Hungry folks are waiting for your table so move along now. The write up in the NYTimes was a bonus for confirming my decision to eat here. The friendly staff made the grilled mackerel wrap service rememberable. Don’t pass up the pickled turnip drink. Your digestive system will thank you.
