Discovered this place by accident. The doorway is small and you need to step right in to a fantastic atmosphere. The staff are extremely helpful and the decor is fantastic. We visited once and then went back later in the afternoon as it was so cool. We had the Ibrik coffee which is a small cup unfiltered strong coffee. Both times the place was very busy. The food being served all around us looked great and we will try next time. Said to my son and he said he goes all the time with his pals! Cannot recommend enough. We have found our new fave coffeehouse!

Great atmosphere with cozy decor featuring mismatched furniture. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great selection of coffee - we got the pistachio latte which was a creamy and delicious treat. Lamb shank was super tender and fell right off the bone. Syrupy baklava with vanilla ice cream was the perfect end to our meal!

Wonderful and lively atmosphere, incredibly comfortable. The coffee here is spectacular - you can taste the quality and the different roast and brewing variety is large; even an espresso or a simple iced latte will leave you satisfied. There’s also a large selection of non coffee drinks to enjoy - the Istanbul Fog is a great spin on the classic. The food is also good - hearty and filling dishes. We did not get to try the bakery but it looks absolutely divine. Will be coming back :)

A hidden gem in Glasgow! Ottoman Coffeehouse on Berkeley Street is absolutely charming — cozy, welcoming, and filled with character. The staff are genuinely kind and make you feel right at home. Their desserts are incredible — especially the gluten-free chocolate hazelnut torte, the creamy Basque cheesecake, and the perfectly flaky pistachio croissant. Pair any of them with a dark hot chocolate or a decaf pistachio latte and you’ve got the perfect ending to a long, stressful day. A truly special spot that’s quickly become one of my favorites in the city.

Where do I begin? Excellent service. The decor is beautiful, distinctive, and comfortable. Unfortunately, the restaurant is not suitable for families with children. We ordered chicken shawarma and chicken . It tasted awful and the spices were overpowering, to the point that the children only ate fries and bread. The quantity, compared to the price, was disproportionate. The employee noticed our confusion over the food, and we told him that the food was very spicy and he offered us to add tahini dressing to it, but there was tahini to begin with. The coffee and cappuccino were okay. I hope they pay attention to the spices and put a warning that the food is spicy. Also, there should be a children's menu. Unfortunately, my order wasn't successful, and I hope to change my mind on my next visit.
