Customer Reviews
The food was incredible here. I had the green salad and grilled tuna. The atmosphere is wonderful too. The Turkish red wine was to die for. Would come back!
The food and the athmosphere are TOP level! Outstanding and I fully recommend this restaurant to everyone who wants to try delicious authentic turkish food and a great athmosphere!
We wanted to cap our trip to Istanbul with a nice meal and Aila didn't disappoint. From atmosphere to service to food it is to the highest standard. The lamb main course was my personal favorite. We will be back again for sure and would recommend this restaurant to anyone who's looking for an exquisite dining experience.
Was disappointed when they told us thet they don’t provide Kebobs at Turkish restaurant and call themselves “modern”. It’s overpriced and overrated, nothing special
