📖

Full description

Hamdi is among the older restaurants in Istanbul and sits in Eminönü, where its main draw is the combination of Southeastern Turkish dishes and a view. Reviewers single out the lahmacun and the Gavurdağı salad, and the vista is mentioned as a highlight in its own right.

Opinions are split, with some feeling the food does not quite match the long reputation, while others praise the service as correct to kind. With over 8,000 reviews, a 3.9 rating and mid-range pricing, it is busy and best treated as a classic stop for a view-led meal.
