A Taste of Hype: My Experience at Hatay Medeniyetler Sofrasi Taksim
First of all it is not CZN Burak. The story i heard from the staff is that, this restaurant is owned by his father and CZN Burak used to work here as a chef and few years ago he left this place and has his own restaurant at Vadi Istanbul Mall which is much more expensive. But the service and food are similar. Now you know why google map directs you to this place if you search for CZN Burak restaurant. As someone hailing from the UK, where Turkish cuisine is no stranger, my expectations were high. The food was enjoyable, yet it didn't surpass the best Turkish meals I've had back home. The flavors were familiar, echoing the quality of many UK-based Turkish restaurants. Price-wise, it aligns with what I'm accustomed to paying in the UK, making it seem reasonable amidst Istanbul's expensive food street scene. Service was commendable, adding to the overall dining experience. However, the true essence of visiting CZN Burak lies beyond the plates of grill and kebab. It's about the experience, the atmosphere, and the chance to dine in a place that's become a phenomenon. In that regard, it delivers. It's a visit for those seeking more than just a meal, but an experience to remember.
Be the first to ReplyCheck which branch.
So on Czn Burak Instagram he says he only has one restaurant in Istanbul which is in Valdi Istanbul so we went there. We wanted to sit downstairs to have the burger meals but as soon as I mentioned we are fasting and want to sit and wait for iftari we were told we need to go upstairs. There they brought a set menu and said that's only available for iftari. I then asked to sit downstairs but were told no. The waiters I found to be quite stuck up and not helpful. Obv that place was very up market. I ended up paying 4000 lira worked out to £97 for myself and my 2 daughters. Wouldn't have minded if the food was what we wanted but ended up with loads of food we didn't like so just paid and walked out. Not sure if this branch is the real one but would have preferred going to this one as it was easier to get too.

Despite the fact that the prices are high and everything costs money, including bread, the food is not the best I ate in Istanbul... but what surprised me the most was the drummer’s public request for a tip, and he was not satisfied with the amount I gave him (120 liras)... I do not recommend it. You can eat in it, but you can eat kunafa and a cup of tea at most
Be the first to ReplyExpensive menu for tourists; don’t go
Be careful, we went there and they welcomed us with a tourist specific menu, every meal costed more than 100€. Don’t go there, they will rip you off.

Be the first to ReplyAllergy awareness
The atmosphere and the food are good, but the staff need to have an allergy awareness course, I been there with my girlfriend for a special occasion but they have ruined everything, we told them about nuts and tree nuts allergy , but they didn't seem to care , they served us food what contains almond and walnuts, so she had to use a loot of medicine in order to feel better, in top of that we left soon after she started to feel bad, so the food was not finished, but they made us to pay for everything, I'm really disappointed!!!

The restaurant is owned by famous chef CZN Burak. as soon as you enter the restaurant you can see picture of him with celebs. Hands down the best Turkish food I’ve tasted. The portion is big and the food is really nicely cooked. The waiters were great and attentive.
Be the first to ReplyEid dinner
Excellent service and food. Great family Eid meal, full of flavour, very attentive staff. Enjoyed very much. Probably one of the most expensive on Istiklal due to it being famous for celebrities. Iyi bayramlar...
Be the first to ReplyExcellent variety of delicious dishes
This place well know for serving huge portions for large groups. You can easily dine here solo or with your partner as they have dishes suited for 1 person.The place is huge with lots of sitting capacity. We were there on a really crowded Saturday night but manage to sit at the restaurant just across their main shop…
We had
- Stuffed grapevine
- Hummus with meat (beef)
- Chicken Kebap
- Mixed Kebap
- 1 beer
- 2 teas
Total cost 600 TL
Stuffed grapevine was unique to us & we love the flavour it gave…good appetiser
Hummus with meat… very Good hummus but I had better but it cost a lot more too. The beef was tender and had some buttery taste to it
Chicken Kebap to me was nice but I am not the biggest fan of chicken except fried chicken & yakitori
Mixed Kebap had 2 pieces of lamb kebap, grilled lamb pieces and chicken pieces. The chicken and lamb pieces were well seasoned and nicely grilled. I prefer the grilled lamb of course. The lamb Kebap had a very good lamb flavour, tender and quite juicy …But I still find the Adana Kebap at Zubeyir Ocakbasi to be slightly juicier and fattier.
We had no more stomach space for desserts as we were munching away in Istanbul throughout the day. It’s my 3rd day here and I still have not tried my favourite dessert which is kunefe cos everyday we have been too full. The waiter kindly brought us complimentary biscuits and a generous fruit platter which we couldn’t finish but really appreciate it
Unfortunately we didn’t see much show at the other tables. Was hoping to take some video. Thank you CZN Burak team !
Great food, Outstanding service
Fun atmosphere! Kids were treated very nicely. Staff went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. The food was fresh and delicious! The table show was exciting and the whole restaurant got in on the clapping. Smiles everywhere. The overall experience was fantastic. Yes it’s loud, but it’s fun! This is not the place for a one on one quiet evening out. But if you are looking for a great experience with good food this is the place. And it’s right next to a fantastic dessert restaurant. We had a great evening, you won’t be disappointed.
Be the first to ReplyGreat entertainment and a fun night out
Order the salt baked chicken which comes with the staff playing drums around your table, a small fire show and a hammer to smash open the dish. Food was delicious, entertainment was great and it was worth the wait. With the rising fame of CZN Burak across the globe its good to see the quality at each of his restaurants. Dubai was better but thats for a different review.
Be the first to ReplySo many choices
Excellent food , a very busy restaurant which tell you its good. Over 40+ choices of main entrees, best if you have a large group you can experience certain dishes . You may see a line no worries you will get space in few minutes, excellent service you do not have to wait a lot for food.
Be the first to ReplyExpensive, noisy and worthless
I decided to visit this resto in Taksim because of the reputation of Chef Burak.
When I arrived there, a hostess showed me a table. My wife and I sat there , but we were surprised by a disturbing noise of a group of severs chanting and applauding, just to serve the order of some customer. I called the hostess to change the table but she said no (no words but with a gesture with her head). We changed the place anyway. When whe saw the menu we were shocked by the prices: 80 TL for chicken chops and 80 TL for Chicken shish taouk. The meal was delicious, honestly, Chicken was well cooked. The second shock were in the moment of payment : 187 TL instead of 160:
+17 TL tip for service (which was so bad) +10TL for water (2 bottles on table that we did't touch) and bread (we didn't ask for it, he bring it to us with chicken and we thiught it was free).
The experience was bad, chicken was delicious, atmosphere was awful, not honest with prices..
I think someone famous and rich like Burak doesn't need to charge additional 15% to his customer to hain more money!! The truth is he'd a greedy person!
