Traditional Turkish seafood with meze and grilled fish in busy Kadıköy; many love the fresh fish and warm service, but multiple recent reviews cite pricing transparency issues and forced extras—verify prices and bill.
Deniz Yildizi delivers excellent fresh grilled fish and vibrant meze in Kadıköy's lively market setting, with warm, attentive service on good nights. However, quality varies noticeably between visits—stale meze and overcooked dishes appear alongside standout meals—and multiple reports of surprise charges and upselling reduce confidence in the overall experience. Worth visiting for seafood, but verify prices upfront and check your bill carefully.
One caveat: Pricing transparency issues: unsolicited water, service charge, and market-priced fish exceeding expectations
