Neolokal Taksim Reviews from The Last Year
Monty Python comes to Istanbul fine dining
Yes, this is a one star. And yes, some of the dishes are first rate. But it is a model of just how silly (or pretentious, or fussy) some contemporary restaurants can be. The technique behind every dish is impressive (and time consuming and very very expensive). But the technical accomplishments seem less important than the taste. For one dish, for example, an iPad is brought to your table and you are required to watch an overblown video on “The soil. The fire. The dish” and such. Great view. Great wine choices. And a waiter that is the spitting image of Uriah Heep. There are better choices all around in Istanbul.
Neolokal: totally overpriced, never again
Neolokal: Totally disappointed: overpriced meal, not well tasting, uninspired service. Never again. We had very high expectations and were really unsatisfied.
A dinner worthy of a michelin star!
We went to Neolokal for dinner because it has a 1 Michelin Star and a Michelin Green Star. We got the vegetarian tasting menu for reference. Overall, it was great food - the presentation and flavors are everything you would expect from a Michelin restaurant. That also includes the service. The food was tasty and so were the drinks. I'd say the only critique I have is I wish our server took more time explaining the ingredients of the dishes - often time he would mention what the dish's name was and serve. Also, there is one part of the tasting menu where they give you a tablet to watch a video on how the dish they are about to serve is made. This part of the tasting menu felt a little gimmicky. Also, the price of this dinner is on par with Michelin restaurants in the US - be prepared to pay $200+ for 2 people. It's a restaurant worth going to and the food, service, and overall quality shows why it has a Michelin star.
A delicious experience
It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Especially the mushroom plate is a delicacy worth talking about. We would like to express our gratitude to the entire kitchen team and Mr. Ziya, who conveyed this experience to us with his kind service🙏🏼
You can do it here!
The location is good and the food is Turkish in a good way. There are only three dishes on the tasting menu, but they serve them quickly and I think every dish will suit Japanese tastes. The presentation is unique and interesting, and the wine seems relatively reasonable.
A Gastronomical journey through Turkish cousin
Neolokal's Tasting Menu is a gastronomic journey that seamlessly blends traditional Turkish flavors with modern culinary innovation. The experience begins with the enticing aroma of their SOURDOUGH bread, served with parsley-marbled butter and cep mushroom powder—a delightful start to the meal. The Amuse Bouches showcase the chef's creativity, with standout dishes like SINKONTA, featuring olive oil-braised pumpkin and zucchini varieties, complemented by a pumpkin and mandarin sauce, onion, and vegetable foam. BONITO presents an olive oil-braised spotless black-eyed pea 'pilaki' with tarragon and fish sauce, delivering a harmonious fusion of flavors. The MOREL DUMPLING is a culinary masterpiece, combining mushroom sauce and emulsion with sautéed morel and isot oil. The BLUEFISH with CHARD, accompanied by a shrimp sheet and shrimp sauce, offers a delicate balance of textures and tastes. A refreshing interlude comes in the form of the SORREL SORBET, cleansing the palate for the next culinary delights. The main course features the SLOW COOKED LAMB, accompanied by a unique combination of meatball and 'kokoreç,' served with sweet bean 'piyaz.' The dish exemplifies Neolokal's commitment to incorporating traditional Turkish elements into their contemporary creations. For dessert, the REVANİ WITH ROSE is a sweet symphony, showcasing rose milk ice cream, rose delight, and coconut meringue—an elegant and fitting conclusion to the meal. To add an element of surprise, the Neolokal team presents an array of delightful desserts, rounding off the dining experience on a high note. The Tasting Menu at Neolokal is a testament to the culinary prowess of Chef Maksut Aşkar and his team. Each dish is a work of art, skillfully combining flavors, textures, and presentation. The restaurant's commitment to showcasing the diversity of Turkish cuisine, coupled with a touch of surprise in the desserts, makes dining at Neolokal a memorable and delightful experience This is more than a meal; it's a celebration of culinary ingenuity.
A must in Istanbul
Great restaurant with wonderful food. Service is impeccable. Very creative coctails using local and seasonal ingredients. A must visit in Istanbul!
Everything is good
The quality service of the waiters. The taste of the food was worthy of this place. All the food was fresh and delicious. He deserves his money's worth😊
Ummmmmm……
We enter a beautiful building a few minutes from the Galata Tower. Going up to the first floor, there is a mezzanine. You enter directly into the restaurant, or rather a completely open space with a visible kitchen. There is no one at the entrance, which gives you the feeling of being in a canteen. From the kitchen you go up a flight of stairs and only at the top is anyone there to greet you and escort you to your table. We asked for a nice table with a view and were satisfied. So far so good, they help us to sit down, take our coats and immediately present us with the menus, food, wines and cocktails. We had already chosen the menu, we had been asked to do so by email in the days before our arrival in Istanbul. We ask for two cocktails, very good and well made, but to accompany them they only bring us some salted gherkins and roasted hazelnuts. They could do much better! I choose the wine with the help of the maitre sommelier, who gives me good advice. There are plenty of waiters and maitre sommeliers, as well as guys with trays bringing food from downstairs to the room. All the staff were dressed formally, with an alternative twist of white trainers. The service is quite attentive (we are in a Michelin starred restaurant! let's not forget! ), but you feel like a number, not a guest. To underline this, the chef and co-owner, despite being in the room several times and interacting and sit with only one table ... completely forgetting about all the other guests seated there. He had no regard for the other diners in his restaurant. This is a serious omission in a Michelin Star restaurant. As we had a tasting menu, we did not feel taken on a culinary journey. Some dishes, refined in their presentation, bat all lacked something... a pity. Personally, I expected much more given the level of the restaurant. Overrated. Bad idea to use a tablet and headphones to explain a dish....Where is the Chef?? Note: if you run out of the little bread they give you at the beginning, they don't bring it . We appreciated the petit four they gave us at the end. Price: very very expensive for the experience we had. I don't intend to go again
Very nice evening out
Atmosphere and view were perfect. We had a specific waiter and help for our table which is always very nice. Service was professional and at the same time friendly. Presentation of the food and drinks was original. We even got a video to explain a dish. The food had the quality of a star restaurant with all local ingredients. The pairing wines were too expensive. You take better one or two nice bottles of wine
100% overrated
Ok trust me, i have been eating at many restaurants in the world top 50, in my hone town and around the world, but this restaurant is overrated. 500$ is wayyy to expensive for the food served. The service and the view were amazing but honestly the food was a profound let down. Overcooked fish, wet pastry, dry meet, lack of seasoning and salt, overall not good at all. Only 5 service which was equivalent to a normal entree, we needed to buy pides on our way home, which, again, was better seasoned than the whole menu. Would never go there again, save your money and enjoy way more Turkish food else where…

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
