Operating since 1920, this is the original and most famous köfte restaurant in Istanbul, serving just one thing: grilled köfte with white beans and bread. The simplicity is the point — the recipe has not changed in a century and the köfte are genuinely excellent. Lines form at peak hours but move quickly, and the tourist location means prices are still fair.
