“ Excellent, authentic pide freshly made to order with quality ingredients. Ignore all the usual high street chains and go here for the real thing ”
“ Simple, affordable, clean and super tasty. Staff is very friendly. Pide is delicious. Also you should try rice pudding with hazelnut! ”
“ This was our dinner over two days... We visited this Pideci on our first night in Samsun and ordered the Harman (a couple of cheeses mixed with egg, parsley and some butter. It was so good, we ended up coming again the next night and had the Sujuklı pide (cheese and spicy sawsage slices) The pide dough is soooooooooo crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside (exactly as it should be) aside from the fact that the mixes are exactly as salty and spiced as needed. As for our sweet tooth, we satisfied it with a Sutlaç (milk and rice pudding) with a generous topping of crushed hazelnuts! Yum! ”
“ The Pide was great. The place is nostalgic, full of famous people's photos. The crew was very kind and polite. If I come back here again, I will definitely try it. ”
“ With its speciality of Bafra-pide, we tried this place fir the first time and it was a good choice! However, their lentil soap was mediocre. ”
“ Pide was excellent, crunchy on the sides and baked fresh in front of you. The place feels simple and welcoming, with old photos on the walls adding charm. Staff were kind and friendly, and the rice pudding with hazelnuts stood out as a must try. ”
“ Best pideci, highly recommend the kapalı or closed pide ”
“ This is the first Turkish restaurant I have been to on my trip from Tbilisi to Istanbul. The manager is very friendly and helpful even when i cannot speak turkish! The food was great, I had one pide with 3 meats and egg, and the rice pudding. The restaurant has a proper oven so the bread is very tasty. ”
