Mürver Restaurant

What an incredible dining experience! We reserved the Chef's Counter overlooking the kitchen. The food was amazing. One can tell Chef Özkaya has spent a lot of time developing the menu. The food was flavorful, well-portioned, and visually appealing. The service timing was great. Service was not rushed, but you were not waiting long between courses either. Serving staff was very professional and frequently checked to see if everything was ok. We had asked about wines to pair well with our dishes and were served good selections. I highly recommend Mürver and hope to come back!

What a wonderful find! Great views, amazing food, nice location and good service. Can recommend! We went for dinner after a long day of Istanbul exploration. A little bit hesitant as this restaurant is on the top floor of the Novotel. But we had worried needlessly. We received a warm welcome, were taken tomorrow table and greeted by our waiter. He had good recommendations for food and I ordered an excellent Turkish wine. The grilled octopus was delicious. As main, the lamb shoulder with the „Turkish Risotto“ was amazing - all topped off by the grilled Apricot. Literally every course and every dish was on point. Stone bass also good but the least fancy of them. Worth it. The atmosphere is buzzing but not overwhelming. Would definitely go again! The food was the best we had in Istanbul.

Was able to get quick reservation, nice view, great food, good friendly staff and service, loved the spicy tahini, charred calamari, grilled shrimp, grilled chicken and grilled lamb, very good wine selections too. All with a nice view of the Bosphorus. 👌🏾

Excellent first class service from Mura! He made us felt at home. Always attended to us with care. Highly recommended for a first time visit to Istanbul! Good food, ambience and view!

We visited this restaurant as guests of the hotel. It's a beautiful rooftop spot with amazing views. While I was excited to try a beef steak, I was disappointed to find it wasn't on the menu. Instead, I opted for the chicken, which was really tasty, along with a salad, wine, and dessert. However, I was let down by the dessert — a pistachio mousse that wasn’t sweet at all, which didn’t match my expectations. The breakfast - just great!
