Extremely overpriced. Dishes are nothing special. They feel premade. Does not at all justify the price that is being asked for them. They have a knack for ruining classic dishes by trying to make them too fancy. Would definitely not recommend.
Very close to central station.
Food and drinks were nice, cosy atmosphere, friendly staff.

Unfortunately a disappointment. Food was overly salty, portions very small and extremely overpriced. Even though we've ordered drinks, we were denied tap water. You would think with alcohol you could at least get some free water!
We left €60 poorer and still hungry.

Ayla is a perfect place to go to if you’re looking for something that feels romantic and special, without it being overly expensive. The concept of shared dining works very well with people you know closely, and the food is very tasty and well-presented. Staff is very friendly and made a few funny jokes. Only point of disappointment was that they brought us a dish we didn’t order and still almost charged us for it, but they very quickly corrected this when we mentioned the mistake.
I already visited here many times but first time writing a review. I love their food & drinks in general and it has a nice & casual vibe that you can always come by for a drink with small (quality) bites🍷
We went here for the Valentines day yesterday and there are some mistakes on our table but food was still great so we could forget about it...😉

During our recent visit to Ayla bar restaurant, influenced by its excellent reviews, we faced a slight inconvenience. After making a reservation for 21:30, the restaurant called us on the hour, informing us that the kitchen would close at 22:00. This unexpected news prompted us to arrive earlier. We ordered chicken thighs and stuffed eggplant which costed us 60euro (drinks included).
Unfortunately, the reality fell short of our expectations. The portions were surprisingly small for the price, and the quality of the food was underwhelming. The chicken was served cold and undercooked, while the eggplant's bechamel sauce was uncooked, and the flavors did not meld together well. Although the atmosphere of the restaurant was decent and the staff were friendly, it seemed as though the kitchen had closed early, leaving us with what felt like leftover dishes. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Ayla bar restaurant, as the food and overall dining experience did not meet our expectations.
