Exotic and fragrant Istanbul experience.
The Matbah Restaurant
at the Ottoman Imperial Hotel
Exotic aromas of fresh mint tea fill the air. Beyond the Palatial foyer you will hear the sound of the ancient waterfalls that lead you to a secret and exclusive fragranced terrace restaurant called Matbah.
Exquisitely decorated, the building rests between the Hagia Sofia and the Topkapi Palace. The location is perfect. Once the coveted view of the princesses in the Topkapi Harem. You too will enjoy breathtaking views over Istanbul’s finest architecture to the sound of the enchanting Kopuler music.
The service is fit for a King and such prized jobs have been handed down through the generations from father to son since the first emperor. Your waiters’ ancestors served the great Emperors of the Ottoman Empire. They arrive at your table with a quiet unobtrusive humility, like a genie appearing out of a bottle, with gentle precision.
The popularity of the restaurant has been attributed to its exquisite Ottoman Palace Cuisine and famous chef Yilduray Ozturk. Your dinner is served with regal delight and displayed like edible Ottoman Art! Indulgent, delicious and out of this world.
The ambiance is unforgettable. Themed nights transport guests into the charm of the ancient Ottoman Empire. You will indulge in a variety of exotic evenings from the Emperors Ottoman Banquet to the Night of the Whirling Dervishes and not to be missed the night of ornate Turkish belly dancers.
