“ 5 Stars - Delicious Burger Amidst Travel Hustle. Saltbae Burgers at Istanbul International Airport proved to be a fantastic find for a satisfying meal during my travels. After a long journey, I was craving a proper burger, and this place absolutely delivered on that front. The burger I ordered was exactly as described – juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The quality of the meat was evident, and the toppings were fresh and well-balanced, creating a truly enjoyable bite. It definitely hit the spot and was a highlight of my airport experience. While the burger was the star of the show, the fries were decent, though perhaps not as memorable. They were perfectly acceptable as a side, but didn't quite reach the same high standard as the main event. However, this minor point certainly didn't detract significantly from the overall positive experience. The service was fair and efficient. The staff were polite and attentive enough, especially considering the busy airport environment. While there wasn't a standout moment of exceptional service, it was perfectly adequate for a quick and convenient meal. Overall, Saltbae Burgers offers a great option for anyone looking for a high-quality burger while passing through Istanbul International Airport. The burger alone is worth the visit, and it's a welcome step up from typical airport fare. I'd happily return for another one on my next layover. If you're a burger enthusiast, don't miss this spot! ”

“ I have done transit in IST quite a number of times and seen this place but resisted against trying in the past. However when you walk around and compare with the prices of fast food in the terminal, I guess this time round I'm convinced to pay a little more and hope its a better meal. Decided to visit at 130am and its almost time for them to close at 2am. However, the staff still welcomed me in and served me the menu. I asked for differences between the burgers and the staff were also able to explain well and recommended me items to try. Didn't want too heavy late at night so just got a burger and a side first. The onion chips turned out to be better than I expected, though a little too oily but it was so crispy and tasty. Was deciding between the juicy and the saltbae burger and ended up ordering the latter. Though they seemed to be pretty similar, the difference is more on the bun which is a squid ink charcoal bun. The burger was good and the beef patty was so tender and juicy it was like a good supper surprise. It looked small but was actually quite filling. Wanted to order the set but it was pretty inflexible you couldn't swap items so ended up ordering ala carte instead. Ended up the staff tempted me and asked if I wanted to order dessert before the kitchen closes and I got a pistachio baklava. It was not bad too, with some theatrics including while serving the dessert. Overall enjoyable and a very satisfying supper, couldn't have asked for more. A little on the expensive side but is definitely worth the price and the quality of food. Don't believe me take a walk around the airport and when you see fast food restaurants charging exorbitant euros for a meal I believe you might want to turn back and pay a little more for this. Recommended. ”

“ If you’re looking for a top-notch burger experience at Istanbul airport, this place is a must-visit. The quality of the food is exceptional, with juicy, flavorful burgers that easily rival any gourmet spot in the city. The service is just as impressive—efficient, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, which is a rare find in an airport setting. Their cocktail selection is surprisingly good, making it a great place to unwind before a flight. And the real standout? The truffle fries. Perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and absolutely addictive. Don’t miss them! That said, it does stay on the pricey side for what it is. While the quality is there, the cost is definitely something to keep in mind. If you don’t mind splurging a little, though, it’s well worth the stop. ”

“ I just wanted to thank you for the amazing service I received. The hospitality and appreciation shown by the restaurant manager were truly exceptional. I also have to say—the burger was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Thank you for making the experience so memorable! ”

“ The best deal on whole airport for lunch/dinner. Burger meat is so juicy and high quality, bunny is with sesame and delicious. Portion is big! We took Woww offer 1200lira and 1300lira (depends on a desert) around 30euros. They have only 3% service charge while others have 10% Music is great, place has chill vibe ”

“ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Excellent Experience at Saltbae Burger, Istanbul Airport excelent service I wasn’t expecting a gourmet-level experience at an airport, but Saltbae Burger at Istanbul Airport truly delivered! From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming, professional, and attentive—even with the busy airport crowd. The service was fast, but not rushed. I ordered the Saltbae Burger, and it was incredible — juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The signature gold wrapping was a fun touch, and everything from the crispy fries to the fresh ingredients showed great attention to quality. You can tell they don’t cut corners, even in a high-traffic location like this. The space was clean, stylish, and surprisingly relaxing for an airport setting.
