Karisma Sen Restaurant - Reviews
Posted
December 2011 excellent!
leanne macomber from poem hotel istanbul turkey
After browsing the web (as a result of aimless wandering about and being hollered at obnoxiously from every restaurant in the area)... i found this spot! I never write online reviews, but this place lacks a web thumbs up, so i figured i owed it to them for being a bright spot in my evening.
It was very quaint yet lively. full of locals and a warm host. i wish i understood her language because she was really lighting up the room.
from the moment i entered the place it was like being at home.. and im from texas. i take friendliness very seriously. the fact that i was absolutely no where near home was always charming and the food was excellent! fresh and flavorful.
I had a few healthy cold vegetable starters, a wonderful glass of wine, and a delicious main fish. simple and very good. the service was amazing (they even helped me get my coat on). did i mention im not rich? i will totally be going back.
