Phenomenal food and outstanding service in a modern Mediterranean minimalist aesthetic. Crunchy shrimp and kebabs are a must. And that pallet cleansing soup. Fire emoji x 5

We had a fabulous experience Friday night. The tasting menu beat our expectations with every dish being delicious and beautifully plated. The service was gracious and attentive. The restaurant decor was warm, modern and had a cool vibe with music beats that were not too loud and created the perfect ambiance.

We had an amazing experience at Taksim! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, with a great balance of modern elegance and cozy charm. Every staff member we interacted with was kind, attentive, and genuinely made us feel like guests rather than just customers. We’ll definitely be coming back and recommending Taksim to friends. A true gem!
