Pull up a stool at Bambi Cafe, the open-all-hours döner stop on Taksim's busy main street. Order a plate of chicken döner with rice and free bread for a quick, inexpensive meal on the go.
Full description
Bambi Cafe is a no-frills döner and fast-food counter on the busy Taksim strip, open around the clock and set up for quick, cheap meals rather than long sittings. Reviewers mention clearly displayed prices, polite staff and hot chicken döner served with rice and free bread, though the food is described as ordinary rather than memorable and at least one visitor complained about undercooked meat.
With a 3.7 rating across more than 3,000 reviews, it works best as a pragmatic stop for solo diners, late-night walkers and anyone after an inexpensive bite near the square. Expect speed and convenience over refinement.

Pretty good, and pretty fast. Food is nothing to write home about, but hits the spot just right. All the prices are listed, so you're not gonna get scammed. The staff seems pretty nice and polite. . Maybe slightly overpriced, but it is what it is.
