TL;DR
At Rama in Istanbul, the fish balik dürüm is recommended. The shawarma is dry and lacks white sauce. Dinner options are limited — pasta comes in soy-like sauce, mashed potatoes are a safe bet.
At the à la carte dinner, no sauces are served with meat — even a request for pomegranate sauce was refused.
Meat options daily include turkey and beef. Fish alternates between red fish (likely pink salmon or trout, sliced into pieces) and a white fish resembling sea bream. Every other day there are unpeeled cold shrimp. Other items include spicy beef stew, steaks, and fried liver. Squid is only available marinated — rubbery and sour. Rolls, including Philadelphia, are very salty.
Breakfast includes pancakes of questionable quality — they appear to be made with leftover porridge from the previous day mixed into the batter.
At dinner, pasta was served in a soy-like sauce rather than a classic preparation. Plain spaghetti wasn't available. Mashed potatoes were a reliable fallback. Fries were only available at the snack bar.
According to visitors, Rama stands out as notably better in food quality compared to other similar spots in the area.
The shawarma here differs from the usual style — the meat is dry and there's no white sauce. However, the fish balik dürüm is delicious and worth ordering.
