"Try expanding this entry first 
, it is already quite impressive, still it would fit as a signle paragraph in < A13664027 > 'Istanbul, Turkey' .
What range of drinks can we expect, range of dishes. seats: quiet, for large parties, romantic, casual, stylish . . .
Some more about the area ? parking; taxi, bus or hitchhiking.
Try to expand it a little it reads as a little bare and stripped out
Not a bad attempt for your first posting to this site

Hi Yakuzist,
This is a good Entry, but the content doesn't really seem to match the title. You've only mentioned one restaurant, and then given a fairly general description of Turkish cuisine. Perhaps you could either add in more restaurants (or eaty-streets) or re-edit the Entry so that it is about Turkish food in general. At the moment, it looks more like a plug for a restaurant than an article on eating in Istanbul.
I agree that anyone who can't find decent food in Istanbul needs to be shot!

Hi yakuzist, where are you with this entry then? It doesn't look to me as if any changes/additions have been made, so I'd agree with TiT and Giford that this needs some more to be helpful. Currently, their website gives much more info than the entry does.
I think it's worth mentioning that this is a chain restaurant with several outlets in Istanbul and various other places in Turkey.
I am somewhat confused by the 'do not ask for a menu' advice. Do I understand correctly, that you'll be served food as an entrée, which you haven't ordered? Will it influence the sum total whether you eat or don't eat the starters?
What is Usd? US Dollars?
What sort of atmosphere does the restaurant have? Is it crowded and noisy? Or can I have an excellent, undisturbed meal in pleasant surroundings for the (to me) high sum of $ 50 per person?
Is the restaurant easy to reach? What other attractions are near?
