Akin Balik has a reputation, and it’s a pretty good one! So naturally you want to go to the place everyone seems to mention. After spending a night there, I don’t get it. In a town that has so many meze places, why spend this kind of money on average food. It wasn’t bad, it wasn’t good. Nothing about Akin Balik made me remember it. Well that’s not true, the poor service and overpacked tables made me remember it. They overbook and understaff, a deadly combination. It reminded me of a metrobus, but this time that smelled like fish and raki.

The grilled fish I’ve gotten here on a couple of occasions could easily top any other fish I ate elsewhere. The fish starts out fresh off the fisherman box, makes it way to the kitchen and is grilled to the perfection. As simple as that. Nuff said
