It is the absolute different style of food you can get in Istanbul. After you finish all the classics that you will anyway have in Turkey, all the kebaps, doners and baklava, it is worth it to visit this interesting place to taste a bit of the real Anatolian food. Careful, don't expect to have alcohol there...

Back after one year. Again fantastic quality, and extremely fair value for money. A must in Kadikoy area, really hoping they won’t drop quality with so many good reviews.

I've been to Ciya on many occasions during my visits to Istanbul and every time there has been something different and amazing to enjoy. The menu is based on the freshest produce available and covers cuisine from all over the region. I look forward to going many more times whenever I can... divine :)
