A multi-story kebab institution near the Spice Bazaar with sweeping views of the Golden Horn from its upper terrace. The Urfa and adana kebabs are the reason to come, and the lahmacun is among the best in the city. It is popular with tourists but locals still eat here — go for lunch to avoid the worst crowds.
