Many of the restaurants were advertising their kahvalti so we picked a place and sat down. Service here was prompt and friendly.

Literally the game changer in Besiktas as one of the three original breakfast spots mostly due to…read moreits price and speed. Started as a small cafe and expanded into adjacent stores and a new building, still serves as the most crowded breakfast place in Besiktas on weekends. You get what you pay, so don't expect miracles but it is fast and tasty enough. Faruk, the owner, can be disturbing customers at times by shouting at his staff almost constantly, it is not Kitchen Nightmares material though. Overall a good place for quick grabs and perfect for students. I have been going to Faruk for 10 years now and couldn't find a better alternative in the neighborhood.

The highlight however is the bread, you could just come here to dip that bread in some good olive oil/balsamic vinegar. Nothing stands out in the sandwich as much as the bread. I suggested that they should sell the bread. Have I mentioned the bread? Anyways why the 1 star reduction? The fries they serve with the sandwich are nothing special, they're just there to fill you up. They could do without the fries.
