📖

Full description

Hünkar sits in the heart of Nişantaşı and serves both classic daily set menus and grilled dishes in a traditional dining room with an open kitchen. Reviewers describe it as an elevated version of an old-school Ottoman lokanta, with fantastic service and standout dishes such as lamb on aubergine purée, braised lamb, dolma and eggplant with yoghurt, followed by rich desserts.

A vegan menu broadens its appeal. At 4.2 stars and mid-range pricing, it suits a relaxed meal for couples, older visitors and small groups, though parking in the area is difficult.

Reviews

A superb place with traditional Turkish dishes but with a modern twist. Exceptional service, super tasty food - lamb on aubergine pure is to die for, as well as rich desserts. Came around 8pm, seated immediately and served within 10 minutes of arriving.
