Bosphorus Waterfront
Right on the water, facing the FSM Bridge and the unmatched Bosphorus panorama. Every table on our open-air terrace overlooks the strait.
On the shores of Baltalimanı since 1975. Turkish breakfast (traditional spread & open buffet) at sunrise, romantic dinner at sunset. Halal, alcohol-free, with prayer room, kids' playground and free parking — a family-focused Bosphorus venue.
We began on the quiet shore of Baltalimanı, when the Bosphorus had neither today's crowds nor traffic. Only the cry of seagulls, the horn of passing ferries, and the warm scent of fresh bread rising from our tables.
Guests who once came as children with their fathers now bring their own grandchildren.
From brewing the first tea at six in the morning to lighting the last hookah past midnight — the Bosphorus has been our companion through it all. We charge no service fees, no cover. Because at Oba, your bill should be as easy as your morning.
