This place is disappointing on all accounts. Service is essentially non-existant once sat, where even a lifted hand does nothing. The promised quick refills are not there. The refills take too much time for any form of good judgment to grow. The ambience is reminiscent of a soup kitchen. Constant chatter, no civil respect, constant bumping into others. The lack of secularism is flagrant with the TV (only two of the four sets are turned on, with only one broadcasting something other than the store tariffs) consistently showing the Mecca. The food is terrible. Excess oil, dry pizza dough, tasteless cheese and sushi that all confusingly have crushed peppers, making them awkwardly spicy for the dish. If this place is supposed to be Turkish, then supposedly drinking maple syrup would automatically make you Canadian too. There are NO Turkish dishes whatsoever. No baklava, no doner, no kebab, hiçbir şey. The district that this establishment is suitated in is ugly, dirty and stinks. The social media buzz around this place is simply lying. 100%
What guests say about Restaurant Buffet hunkar istanbul
Recent reviews are very mixed, but most highlight a very wide selection of dishes, good freshness, and service that is often warm and quick. Many customers like the family-friendly atmosphere, the clean venue, and the variety of meats, desserts, and halal options. On the other hand, some comments complain about cold or overly salty dishes, poor organization, additional charges, and inconsistent value for money.

I vomited immediately after leaving the restaurant after dining. The fried food ( shrimp, calamari, etc. ) were served cold and tasted very stale and there was a small fly on my plate at one point which I had to remove. The ice cream tasted like medicine. The washroom was also not clean. I hope they improve their food quality and hygiene. Never going back.
Love it! We came from Germany and it was amazing, we can absolutly reccomend this place! 👩🍳
I was with a group this Saturday. The food was good and the customer service was nice. I recommend it.
Great buffet with a nice variety of dishes. Definitely worth trying!
The good is very tasty, love it
My only criticism is the people who attend this restaurant and throw out food. Please learn how to eat and not waste food. Its an all you can eat buffet....you will not go hungry....they will not run out of food. Put a little in your plate, try things, taste things then go back for more. Please think of all of the people in the world who are suffering. Feed people and not garbage!!!! The turisk buffet was excellent, lots of options, they have all sorts dishes. Including many sauces to dress your food to your liking. The restaurant does an excellent job for the price. Staff were really friendly even on Saturday when really busy.
I wasted my money.
Very inaccurate information about services and prices
Lied about their prices for kids meals

Nice place their liver was good and so we're the potatoes. Their Turkish sweets are also decent. We had to wait like 40 minutes for our water to be refilled even after asking and the waiter did put the tip without asking which was slightly infuriating while looking at the bill
The food is not that bad the service from the staff is the problem they don't show any appreciation in their service they force on you to tip and they lie to you saying that the machine automatically applies the tips.
Me and my family went to eat in this restaurant We got really sick eating there. Bad smell near fruit section. Plates some of them dirty Expensive I would not recommend to eat here
⚠️ To all customers: Carefully check your bill before paying and make sure you know exactly how much is being added as a tip. Never pay without knowing what you are being charged for. Everything was going well until it was time to pay. Unfortunately, the experience ended on a very disappointing note because of the cashier’s attitude. Without informing me or asking what tip percentage I wanted to leave, she added a tip to my bill and processed the payment without me realizing it. I only noticed the extra charge after checking the receipt. When I asked why she hadn’t informed me about the tip, she justified it by saying that the discount I had received was supposed to include the tip, and that it was up to her to decide the amount. I want to make it clear that I have absolutely no problem leaving a tip when the service deserves it. What I find unacceptable is being forced to pay one without being informed, without being asked, and without being given a choice. A tip should be voluntary, not discreetly added to a bill without the customer’s knowledge. This kind of practice is disrespectful to customers and raises questions about its legality. If a tip is imposed without the customer’s consent, the matter deserves to be looked into. It’s truly disappointing that an experience that started so well had to end this way.
For the price it’s an OK restaurant. Foods are OK.
Sure, there is a lot of variety, but the poor quality control takes away from the experience. Some of the food is under seasoned, some too salty, some very old and stale - we were a party of 4 and most of us got unwell after having the food. The crazy part? The added mandatory "tip" to the buffet price and did not even allow it to be removed.
Great place, food very tasty and so many choices, people are amazing and very friendly. I have to be back…💙💙🥰
