The only thing I would say to skip is the chicken wings. They are good, but better to save room for the other delights that you don't find back home in the US. Go take a look at the barbecue they use and you'll understand why everything tastes so great, but keep the kids away as it is hot and there is nothing to prevent them (or you) from touching it and getting burnt.

Get there and easily seated. Small place but people were constantly going in and out and place was buzzing with tourist and locals alike. Menu properly labelled with prices so not a tourist trap. Sat down and ordered the lamb chops and the Adana kebabs (minced meat). Both dishes outstanding. The lamb chops were the best I've ever had. Grilled just right to perfection. Seasoned well with Turkish spices and meat was juicy. The kebabs were the same. Juicy and succulent and perfectly seasoned. Came with complimentary lavash and spicy hummus dip and some pickled veggies. Service quick and portion sizes just right. When in Istanbul, a must try for sure. Cheers! Happy eating!

All of the food is extremely delicious. The owner is very nice and when I told him I was vegetarian, he went out of his way to accommodate me, preparing exactly what I wanted. This is one of the few places with meatless (vegetarian) manti - they have it with potato or cheese (as well as the traditional meat version). I also got gozleme (spinach & cheese and potato & cheese), and mucver (vegetable latkes, which taste great with garlic yogurt).
