I was going to meet with my friends at the theatre last night, which is next building of Sait Ä°skender Restaurant in Ä°stinye. I noticed the restaurant when I go to Ä°stinye Park Shopping Mall, but never been there before. I had a little time for dinner and sat one of the tables and asked an "Iskender Kebap". The service was good and my selection was excellent. The meat was very well cooked and the butter on the top was smelling wonderful. I mostly ate it together with yoghurt but this time it was a little different. Yoghurt came in a separate plate. It was so tasty and loved it very much. The price is moderate. Parking space available.

The Summit bar has some fabulous views and we enjoyed some good meals there. One afternoon we were peckish and shared a bowl of calamari which was tasty and sufficient for two. In the evening I enjoyed a prawn stir fry which was excellent while my wife had the chicken curry. Our only disappointment was the next day when we went back for lunch only to find that they were not serving food. The terrace is well sheltered from the wind by the glass screens allowing you to enjoy comfortable al fresco dining with a view.
