The Istanbul airport is nearly remodeled with a large shopping mall area. There are many nice shops and restaurants on the lower level, but look for the food court upstairs .
Quick bite at a Turkish fast food spot with chicken shawarma - we ordered the Ramadan plate dinner. The chicken is roasted on the spit and a mechanical arm shaves thin crispy slices off of it! A late dinner came with rice, flatbread, tiny garden salad, chicken rice soup, fries, baklava... big meal for 1 or enough for 2 to share. The food was ready in five minutes and can be packed to go.
It's nice to try a fast food joint that's local to Turkey!
To find this place, we walked past Burger King, Arby's, Popeyes, Sbarro and others. read more
