Eleos Restaurant

It was simply incredible. A rainy Tuesday afternoon turned into a beautiful little getaway as soon as we walked into Eleos and were greeted by the owner Ms Nora who made us welcome immediately. The food was fresh , delicious and was prepared and served in creative ways like real shells. The sesame seabass in creamy sauce was my favorite as well as the well prepared house special curry octopus. And the appetizers that were a welcome gift from the chef the zucchini fritters and crab linguini were just showstoppers. Thank you for this amazing meal. We will surely visit again

Eleos is truly one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in istanbul so far. They serve a limited selection of fish, but that’s because they are so specialized in what they do and the quality speaks for itself. We had the grilled sea bass, and it was honestly the best seabass we had. Perfectly prepared, seasoned just enough to highlight the incredible freshness of the fish. The calamari were outstanding, juicy on the inside with a perfect light fry, absolutely bursting with flavor. Their seasonal salad was crisp and fresh, and the desserts were equally excellent. A special thanks to our waiter, Rasim, who was absolutely fantastic. His warm welcome, excellent recommendations, generosity and professional service elevated the whole experience he made us feel truly taken care of. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. A very well deserved 5 stars!

We have walked in this cute place and have been very impressed! Fesi was our waiter, and he was going out and beyond his way to make sure we had the best experience! Grilled octopus was very tender and well marinated in garlic butter; grilled artichoke had a nice smoky flavor, arugula salad was very fresh, stuffed mussels also had a nice unusual flavor. Fesi has offered us a complimentary fried zucchini appetizer that was also very tasty. Lemmon sorbet was my favorite desert there among others. I can’t even tell what my favorite

We recently had a wonderful dinner at Eleos Restaurant in Yeşilköy with a group of five, and it truly exceeded expectations! Despite making what could be considered a late reservation around 6 PM, the restaurant was incredibly accommodating and seated us promptly at a nice indoor table. The service was exceptional, especially from the chief waiter, who was genuinely kind and attentive. A real highlight of the evening was the generosity of the kitchen; they brought out many complimentary dishes for us to try. Of these, the levrek kokoreç (sea bass kokoreç) stood out as a memorable and delicious preparation—definitely a must-try! For our main course, we ordered the kalkan (turbot). While the fish itself was good, we did find that many pieces were not edible due to bones or other parts, which was a slight disappointment in an otherwise stellar meal. In summary: • Service Quality: Absolutely fantastic, with special appreciation for the chief waiter's kindness and the complimentary appetizers. • Standout Dish: The levrek kokoreç. • Main Course Note: The kalkan was good but had excessive inedible parts. • Value: A pleasant surprise—the prices were way cheaper than we expected for the quality of service and food offered. Overall, it was a great experience, marked by such high-quality service and surprisingly reasonable prices. Highly Recommended!

An Exceptional Seafood Experience, Elevated by Outstanding Service...This is, without a doubt, the best seafood restaurant I've visited in ages! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was buzzing and instantly welcoming. The quality of the food here is truly exceptional—it's clear the kitchen prioritizes freshness and expert preparation. Every dish tasted like it was pulled straight from the ocean and cooked with care. A Special Shout-out to Rasimm (in my Picture) While the food was fantastic, the service is what made our evening truly memorable. I want to give a massive and special thanks to Rasimm for his warm, attentive, and outstanding hospitality. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Rasimm’s genuine smile and friendly demeanor made us feel truly valued and well cared for. He is a shining example of what five-star service should be. If you are looking for top-tier seafood paired with an incredible dining atmosphere in istanbul, look no further. And be sure to ask for Rasimm—he’ll make your entire experience perfect.. We absolutely can't wait to return.

The food is good and well presented. The staff are friendly. However, the service fee is quite high and should be reconsidered.

We chose it to celebrate my spouse’s birthday. Everything was simply perfect—the attentiveness of the waiters, the excellence of the food, the complimentary treats… Ευχαριστώ, Eleos!

The roasted mussels (Midye Kavurma) are fantastic! Grilled octopus and calamari are also perfect. The sorbet in lemon is off menu and a lovely sweet ending to our very satisfying meal. Service was attentive and our waiters tried their best even though we didn’t speak Turkish at all. Highly recommend this restaurant.
