ISTANBUL RESTAURANT REVIEWS

“Hoş geldiniz!” This simple phrase is perhaps one of the most commonly used greetings in Turkish. Although usually translated as “welcome,” it can perhaps more accurately be rendered as “you came pleasantly.” Those who receive this greeting respond with the words “hoş bulduk”—or “we found [you] pleasantly.” As foreigners living in Istanbul, we too have found Turkey pleasantly—the people, the place, and, perhaps most importantly, the food. Hoş İstanbulduk!
