Istanbul Sherbet desserts have an important place in our culinary culture. It takes its place at Ramadan tables, holidays, weddings, celebrations, in other words, at every table where unity and solidarity occur. It enlivens iftar, is the joy of holidays, and plays a leading role in wedding and association dinners. In fact, he is with us on every special and important day, such as visits to family, friends and relatives, marriage ceremony, Mawlid and Kandil. There is a saying in our language: "Let's eat sweet, let's talk sweet." Even this word is enough to explain the importance of sherbet desserts in our lives. It is as if Istanbul without sherbet desserts, a part of us would be missing, the conversations would be colorless, and the tables set together would be fruitless.

The origin of sherbet desserts dates back to Ottoman Cuisine. In fact, it is known that there was a special section called Halvahane in Ottoman Palaces where desserts were prepared. The favorite desserts made in halva houses were sherbet desserts, which we still enjoy today. So much so that in the 17th century, teams specialized in sherbet desserts were formed with the "baklava procession" established in halva houses. The Sultan had trays and kilos of sweets made to be served to his soldiers and subjects during Ramadan. This treat showed the importance the sultan gave to his soldiers and people. We proudly include such famous flavors in Serbethane cuisine and prepare them with care.

Customer Reviews

What do our customers say about us?

It is opposite Hagia Sophia in the Eminönü district of Istanbul. Its architect is Sedefkâr Mehmed Ağa, who was appointed as the chief architect after the death of Mimar Sinan. Sultan Ahmet Social Complex, which was started to be built with a great ceremony by Ahmet I in 1609 and completed in 1616, has the distinction of being one of the largest social complexes in Istanbul. It is also known as the "Blue Mosque" in the West due to the more than 20,000 tiles with floral motifs used in the complex. According to what Evliya Çelebi wrote about this monumental structure; Seven palaces were destroyed. The fact that the social complex is one of the last examples of the Ottoman classical architectural approach has added a special value to the structure.

The best restaurant we ate in Istanbul. It was the first place we stopped after unpacking and everything about this place screams authentic Turkish cuisine. The staff was very nice and courteous and the food was seriously the best. I recommend the Meat Test kebab mix with beef and chicken and ravioli. Both are outstanding at this location. We tried the same dishes at another restaurant and it didn't even come close. I recommend it to all tourists visiting this place. Great staff, authentic food and the price of everything is beyond reasonable.

We stumbled upon this amazing restaurant by chance and had a surprisingly delicious experience. Our server was very friendly and recommended us a traditional dish, Chicken Testi Kebab. It turned out to be quite an interesting and delicious dish. The whole experience made us feel comfortable enough to stay for a few hours, enjoying Sheeha, hot drinks and food. If you are in old Istanbul, I highly recommend Serbethane.

It is a very nice place behind the Blue Mosque where you can eat delicious and relatively cheap food, play backgammon, smoke hookah, and enjoy relaxing background music. The desserts are divine! The most delicious thing I've ever eaten!
