About This Spot

Stepping into Suad Restaurant kebab&fish& steak house feels like entering a quietly cherished corner of Istanbul’s Historic Peninsula, where time moves at a gentle, unrushed pace. Nestled on a cozy street in Alemdar, the space hums with warm welcomes and subtle laughter, setting a mood that balances the city's rich past with everyday comfort. It’s the kind of place where locals and visitors alike find a moment of ease—whether sitting by the window watching the city drift by or sharing stories over a slowly savored meal.

The atmosphere here is intimate without being constrained, inviting a relaxed curiosity about the flavors that await. From the delicate, smoky notes of baba ganoush to the hearty richness of lamb shank, each dish is a glimpse into Turkey’s culinary tapestry—woven with Mediterranean freshness, the depth of Ottoman tradition, and touches of Italian heartiness. There’s an understated generosity in how meals arrive at the table, often accompanied by small, thoughtful extras: dips that coax conversation, freshly pressed juices that refresh the senses, and desserts that linger like sweet memories.

What makes Suad stand out is not only its varied menu but the genuine warmth that threads through service and setting alike. Whether sharing a bustling evening with friends that drift into conversations or enjoying a peaceful moment with a coffee and baklava, the experience feels quietly layered — part neighborhood gathering, part cultural journey, part welcoming embrace. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, savor, and discover through human moments as much as through the food itself.

It is not a big restaurant but it is very cosy, all guys were great with kids and very velcoming and warm. They also had very good advices for food and drinks. Food was greeaaat. I suggest you try ottoman kebab in pot for one or two persons. We took mixed meat. They also have very fresh pressed orange and lemon juice. I took picture of the whole menu so you can see what they offer. Regards to Alex I did not catch other guys names. Prices are normal, five of us food and drinks 100 eur. We are staying in their hotel so we got 15% discount. Guys that work here are kings. They made our trip much more special.

Went based on reviews and we loved it - food, service and vibe. Ilan welcomed us, and Amad took great care of us! We loved the little extras - dips and pitta to start, and some lovely dessert. They even gave us a free shisha pipe to try! We highly recommend the special, the lamb and vegetarian options are also good. Sitting on the street in this area was also great to watch the world go by in this magical part of town.

We had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always serving food, drinks, and treats with a smile. A big plus is that they offer gluten-free bread with the meals, which was greatly appreciated. The food and drinks were delicious, and the prices were surprisingly affordable. We truly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great service, tasty food, and excellent value!

After visiting the historical sites in Sultanahmet, we chose this restaurant for a meal and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste, especially considering it is located in a very touristic area. It is a great choice for foreign visitors who want to experience Turkish cuisine in a comfortable and reliable place. The menu is simple but well selected, and the flavors are very suitable for international tastes. We tried the Adana kebab, Urfa kebab, grilled meatballs, and chicken shish. The meats were tender, well cooked, and perfectly seasoned. Portions were generous, and the presentation was clean and neat. The dishes were served with rice, grilled vegetables, yogurt, and fresh salad, which completed the meal very nicely. It is an ideal place for those trying Turkish food for the first time. The atmosphere of the restaurant fits perfectly with the historical character of Sultanahmet. The place is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The staff are friendly, patient, and especially attentive to foreign guests. They are happy to explain the menu and give recommendations, which makes the experience even better. Service was fast and professional. Prices are reasonable for the Sultanahmet area and fair considering the quality and service provided. It is suitable for couples, families, and tourist groups. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to foreign visitors looking for authentic Turkish cuisine, delicious grilled dishes, and a trustworthy dining experience in Sultanahmet.
