We ordered a salad that had onions, peppers, walnuts, tomatoes and pomegranates.. I don't recall the name of the salad. But I highly suggest you try it :) the menu is mostly made up of lamb/ veal (like all Turkish cuisine) and there was only one chicken option, which I don't find it to be convenient. We ordered the one chicken option and a kabob. The food was very delicious and the service was 5 star . I failed to mention the view is of the Bosporous.

This street is also lined with multiple bakeries, bars, and places to eat so you won't have an issue here. The lamb shish hit the spot. The meat was well marinated, the pepper was spicy, the rice was fragrant, and the fries were crispy. Before all that, the server brought out some bread and ezme (classic sauce made of tomatoes, peppers, and herbs). Honestly this would've been a hovering 5 stars if the Turkish coffee came out hot, but it was cold so kind of ruined the perfect rating for me. Either way, stop by it won't disappoint!

What a fabulous experience. The original Iskender Kebap. That's all they serve. Love watching the…read moreserver pour sizzling sauce from a large pan all over the meat at the table. So delicious! It's a beautiful period dining room and simple, but very classy. Yes it's just a little bit of a tourist trap, but only because the food is so good and the restaurant is famous. The kebap is amazing, the menu is iconic, the restautant is casual chic and immaculate looking and the service is great; they give you a "Turkish çay" on the house after your meal. I also tried a bottle of their classic grape juice, which is very unique tasting. A tip: be careful when you eat and they pour the delicious (and oily) sizzling sauce on your kebab because the sauce can splatter and drip and get all over your clothes...I was so excited by the kebap that I dove in and had little spots all over my nice linen shirt afterwards! Napkins are your friend. Use one here.

The lamb was juicy and well seasoned, the pita is below it on the plate, it comes with delicious fresh yogurt so creamy and smooth, fresh slices of ripe tomatoes and very spicy peppers. They do not serve liquor, but the Turkish tea pairs beautifully with the dish. Service was friendly and fast. We were seated immediately on a busy Friday night in the tourist area. It isn't on the main drag, but rather tucked up a small side street. The decor is simple, but there are notes of thanks all over the walls. Would definitely return.
