The menu choices were excellent and so was the taste. Ambience although a little noisy is very nice with excellent service levels. I am a reasonable regular to Pera for the above reasons and would recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for tasty Mediterranean cuisine.

Went with a group of family members, many of us hadn’t seen each other in years. This was a perfect location a great food but just as importantly, the staff was so accommodating and did not rush us at all. We were able to really catch up.

We enjoyed the happy hour selection which was delicious then I shared an entree with my aunt. The lamb was so perfectly seasoned and very flavorful. This restaurant hits all the marks for us and we will definitely return for another experience. FYI happy hour is only at the bar.

Overall, an excellent experience—the food, the service and the atmosphere were all excellent. The noise level and the music were a bit loud. A very good place to go.

Thank you for taking such good care of a group that is very special to me! It was a little loud / hard to talk but otherwise food and service were amazing. Also we didn’t partake, but mad respect for whoever thought of the “subtly spiked” lunch cocktails branding. Brilliant!
