    Excellent dishes and service. I ordered the lamb shank, and it was absolutely fall-off-the-bone fantastic. I’ve been to Presidio Kebab several times, and it keeps getting better. Excellent quality food, plated in food magazine fashion, with flavors that burst in my mouth. My family and I will be going back for New Year’s Day 2025. /s/ Alfonso Faustino

    Had an amazing experience last night at Taksim. True to its culture, it indeed blended the old traditional Turkish cuisine with a modern touch by having locally sourced sustainable ingredients. Food is really good! The kitchen is so organized. Our host named Birkan made our dining experience a great one. Very attentive to our needs (not to mention he’s very good looking). I highly recommend this restaurant.
