I celebrated my birthday at Ararat Terrace Restaurant & Rooftop and it couldn't have been a better choice. The food was excellent, full of rich flavors, and Sergio, our server, was incredibly friendly and attentive. The cozy atmosphere made the evening feel special and relaxing, and it truly made my day. A wonderful place to celebrate!

Wanted to share my feedback on this amazing rooftop restaurant. The food was amazing, from the fish selection to the meat and chicken. Sergio really took care of us and made us feel special. He was really attentive to our orders and was super friendly with our group. Really smart guy, pleasant personality with excellent customer service. Big cheers to him who made our night in Istanbul very special.
