34 Istanbul - Sisli

Delicious food, great ambiance and very friendly staff!

34 Restaurant, located in the Hyatt Istanbul, offers a pleasant dining experience. The highlight of my visit was definitely the breakfast, where they prepare fresh pancakes on the spot, attracting a lot of attention from guests. The ambiance was comfortable, and the live cooking station added a nice touch to the overall experience. While the restaurant might not be the most extraordinary in the city, it certainly provides a satisfying breakfast option for hotel guests and visitors alike.

It is a good place to eat but I guess it's the power of the social network that gave it a boost

We wanted to have a Rib Eye steak but the waiter said the minimum of Rib Eye steak is over 500g. So we said that’s too much for us since we ordered other stuff so we asked how about the New York steak and he said minimum 300 400g. So We ordered NY steak instead. The other stuff we ordered were just ok and as we were the only customers there at that time I was a bit worried about ingredient quality. And finally steak came and it was quite big so we asked the gram of the steak and he said 520 or 550g.(I don’t remember well. So I was quite shocked to find out the gram and asked the waiter why this steak is over 500g because we wanted to have sth between 300 400g and he said very proudly “ I said minimum.” He clearly saw us changing from Rib Eye to NY steak because of the gram and even though I explained our situation he kept saying “minimum” and gave us the attitude of him being right and us being wrong. It would be much better if a customer choose a steak and tell what grams they can order from instead of they just serve “the minimum”. Because they didn’t give us options and it felt like being cheated. It would have been more understandable if the restaurant was busy and servers couldn’t pay attention to us much but we were the only customers on Saturday evening on Christmas Eve. Even if there was misunderstanding of us and the waiter, I would have been more appreciative if they hadn’t have the attitude. It’s not sth you would expect from Grand Hyatt restaurant. No wonder there was nobody.

The food wasn't up to the reviews we read! The kebab i ordered was very dry and lacks flavor! In Turkey, the land of Kebab, you shouldn't go wrong with kebab almost anywhere! The staff être very friendly, though. I would not recommend eating there. Pricy for less than mediocre food.
