menemeni güzel. Domates tadı baskın. Çalışan ilgili. Çay da güzeldi. menemen güzel ama mükemmel de değil. Çok daha iyileri var. Küçük bir yer. Mola saatlerinde tavsiye etmem.

Ben seviyorum ali abinin menemenini. Alternatifi bulamıyorum dışarıda. Sözlü sınav öncesi/ sonrası vazgeçilmezimdi.

Ali abinin ellerine sağlık, bırakın fatihi istanbulda bu kadar güzel menemen yapan yoktur. Fiyat olarakta oldukça uygun. Kavurmalı yumurta ve menemeni tavsiye edilir.
