Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" — not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
Testi Restaurant is a Turkish feast waiting to happen, and those charcoal-grilled dishes are where it's at. The grilled sea bass is perfectly charred and tender, while the mixed grill platter puts other grill spots to shame. pp s was right – portions are generous, so don’t come here if you’re not ready to eat. The decor feels like you’ve stepped into a cozy Middle Eastern museum, which adds to the experience.
From the Chicken Sarma Beyti to the Testi Lokum Kebab, every dish is grilled to smoky perfection, making your taste buds do a happy dance. Joanne summed it up perfectly when she said it’s a taste of Ocakbaşı tradition. You’ll want to linger here longer than your average meal, and trust me, you’ll be coming back for more. 🍽️
