Had an amazing experience last night at Taksim. True to its culture, it indeed blended the old traditional Turkish cuisine with a modern touch by having locally sourced sustainable ingredients. Food is really good! The kitchen is so organized. Our host named Birkan made our dining experience a great one. Very attentive to our needs (not to mention he’s very good looking). I highly recommend this restaurant.

Beautiful hidden gem. Wonderful preparation, presentation, and staff. The 7-course meal highlights range of talents! The breads are delicious, all vegetables delicately prepared, steak was succulent, and dessert with Turkish coffee was top notch. We will be back and invite our friends.

This place never disappoints! The food is just amazing. We were a group of 6 celebrating my birthday Ana ordered oysters, shishito peppers, beets salad, the trio, risotto, branzino, chicken dish and the shrimp appetizer which was beyond delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great food, cozy spot, good cocktails.

The team was attentive and that gives a good impression off the bat. It was our group’s first time so we did the tasting menu. Everyone was happy with the dishes which were artfully presented. Beef was tender and the fish is well balanced. The restaurant has a good acoustic and sound barrier so you can focus on your conversation and not overpowered by other tables’ whimsical. This is a nice neighborhood restaurant and we’ll check it out again.

Was excited to try raisin as it looks very nice with some different types of food normally found in SF. The food was good… once it arrived, but the service was kind of terrible. The waiter forgot to take our main order and we had to try to flag him down for about 15-20 minutes just to get our order in and then waited longer for the meal; was absolutely starving by the time it arrived. Disappointingly small portions for the price. By the end of the meal, they suddenly noticed there was no music playing the entire time and turned it on. So the whole ambience of it was weird. Food was okay, portions super small, price is too high, nice restaurant but weird atmosphere with curt service and no music.
