First of the view is pretty great to enjoy while eating dinner. The prices are a little on the higher side for Turkey. Specifically, the hookah was pricy at 500 but the staff were very attentive with the setup of the pipe and coals. The food was one of my better meals in turkey as I had the chicken curry, the creamy cinnamon drink, and some very sweet pumpkin dessert (will update review if I get proper names at some point) service was slow as they were busy, but the staff wasn't bad when they were present. All around a decent spot.

Kind of a unique experience walking through. Its very crowded (watch your pockets), everything is "name brand" so 99.9% chance of it being fake, and you get harassed a lot. It would be nice to see some actual retail brands here, especially small businesses trying to make a name for themselves. Other than that, it looked like every other bazaar I've walked through in Istanbul, only 10 times the size. How does anyone make a living working here when they all sell the same thing...? Probably by scaming tourists.
