Olden 1772

Lounge, ambient and electronic selections accompany food and cocktails. Rather than regular concerts or a loud dance club, watch for occasional DJ and private event announcements.

The roughly 250 year old stone walls, glass roof opening to the sky, crystal chandeliers, candlelight, velvet seats and historic passage and cellar feel create an absorbing old han atmosphere.

A multi room dining venue in Muhsinzade Han's courtyard combining restaurant and cocktail bar service with private event areas such as Secret Room and Magic Room.

Couples for dinner and cocktails in a historic han, small groups, visitors staying around Sirkeci and guests planning an occasion.

Simple but carefully chosen smart casual suits historic, refined dining. Slippers, sports shorts and careless clothes feel out of place.

With its historic structure, stone walls, and meticulous décor, Olden 1772 offers an impressive atmosphere suitable for special occasions and photoshoots. The service team is generally attentive and professional; the breakfast, fish dishes, certain appetizers, desserts, and signature cocktails are frequently praised. Opinions regarding food quality are sharply divided; while some guests find the ingredients and preparation excellent, others report that the meat and fish are dry, bland, or underwhelming given the price. Criticisms are also directed at the high prices, charges for drinks and valet parking, and the inclusion of items on the bill—such as tea—that guests assumed were complimentary. Factors such as the close proximity of tables, small table sizes, time limits, and the necessity of reservations during peak hours can also impact the overall experience.
