Not really good food. Lower priced, but taste-wise it feels like a hodge-podge of popular wannabe asian dishes tailored to the oblivious western palate that has absolutely no idea how asian food tastes. You get served a "best-of" Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese dishes, trying to be everything - while managing to fail being anything. Don't bother. I won't, not again.

Easy way to hop between a ferry tour over the Bosporus and a walk on Taksim Square and the surrounding pedestrian shopping streets. It might be worth mentioning that this is NOT the historical Funicular of Istanbul - but that it was built rather recently in 2006.

Pretty pretty mall with the usual shops, interesting architecture and an exciting slide down three floors - in case you get bored by the escalators.
