Modern Turkish-leaning spot with strong cocktails and polished vibe, but high prices, small portions, smoking and strict reservation policies divide diners.
9/19 Dokuz Ondokuz delivers polished contemporary Turkish dining with solid food quality in steaks and cocktails, but inconsistent execution across repeat visits—unavailable items, portion shifts, and uneven cooking—prevents a higher grade. Stylish interior design and knowledgeable service are genuine strengths, yet slow pacing during peak times and premium pricing for modest portions limit appeal. Worth trying for Kadıköy dining, particularly for cocktails and special occasions, but not a destination restaurant.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (mains often ₺1,290-₺1,850) and portions run small
