Pae's Traditional Fish & Chips

A Hidden Gem for Fish & Chips Lovers! If you're looking for a cozy, no-fuss place that serves up delicious fish and chips with a side of friendly smiles, this little local spot is a must-visit! You can tell it's a small, family-run business because of the personal touch in everything — from the way they greet you at the door to the care they put into every plate. The fish is always perfectly golden and crispy, and the chips are hot, fresh, and just the right amount of salty. Everything tastes homemade and comforting — exactly what you'd hope for in a neighborhood chippy. The decor is simple but warm and welcoming. It feels like you're stepping into a place that values community, where the regulars are known by name and newcomers are treated like friends. The staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. Support local, eat well, and leave with a smile. Highly recommend!

A Fin-tastic Experience! Rating: 5/5 I stumbled upon this hidden gem, and I'm hooked! Pae’s Traditional Fish & Chips serves the most scrumptious, authentic fish and chips I've ever had the pleasure of devouring in Istanbul Asian side. The fish and the shrimps were incredibly fresh, with a delightful crunch on the outside and tender, flaky goodness within. The chips (or fries, for non-Brits) were cooked to a golden perfection, with just the right amount of crispiness. Our server happily answered our questions and made excellent recommendations. Prices are very reasonable, with most meals falling under TL 500. The portion sizes are generous, and you'll likely leave feeling satisfied but not stuffed. The only downside is the size of the restaurant! Keep up the fantastic work, Pae’s traditional Fish and Chips!

Without any doubt the best Fish & Chips in Istanbul, Authentic flavours, the Batter is perfect crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside, portions generous and the chips cut accurately as you would want avoiding the French fries cut. Haddock is fresh and not frozen, they even have Mushy peas. You get a the vibe of a place in London known as Shepherds Bush. They don’t use Beer in the batter so it’s safe for everyone. The best Fish & Chips in the region and I mean Turkey and the surrounding countries. I made this review as I am actually on the way again to eat there ممتاز وطعم إنجليزي أصلي والحقيقة أفضل فيش ان شيبس خارج بريطانيا أنصح به لمن يريد الطعم الأنجليزي الأصلي

English style fish and chips, haven’t seen it done like this in many places in Turkey so if you’re are expat looking for a familiar taste then head here. Very tasty! Also the owner was very helpful in arranging a taxi for us. Thanks, we will be back next time we are in Istanbul!

A real chippy in Istanbul! This place is excellent, does it taste exactly like on the seaside in the UK? No, but it's pretty darn close and the feeling and smell walking in will give you nostalgic memories of home, or of being in the UK. Highly recommend, fairly priced too!

I came back after a few years, and wow — the same incredible taste and wonderful service! I’m so glad I returned, and I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I can.

Authentic fish and chips, just like back in the UK. The chips were particularly good, extra crispy. Fast service, decent portions and reasonably priced. I highly recommend.

A small, but friendly restaurant close to Bağdat caddesi serving fish and chips and other items. The fish is cooked well fresh, delicious and hot - for me, I'd like the batter a tad crispier! Chips/ fries were great, plentiful, and had a seasoning which was tasty. Staff were friendly, and attentive, but not over the top. Sarson's Vinegar is available, mushy peas were ok, but could have been better; I didn't like the taste or the consistency. Overall, if you miss 'authentic' tasting fish and chips, Pae's will help to satisfy your craving. Enjoy!!
