Reviews

This restaurant has been a go to location for me for years when I visit Kadikoy. Everybody knows them by the name. They have plenty of good choices for Kebabs. The staff is attentive and helpful with options, explaining each quite in detail. If you are starving some delicious original Turkish kebab then don't miss…
