Full description
Köfteci Mustafa is a no-fuss grill restaurant built around köfte and other grilled meats, with reviewers singling out the mixed grill for its clean, unsauced flavour and the absence of heavy spicing. The köfte are noted for being made in a traditional way, with one reviewer pointing out lamb fat in the mix, which gives them a richer taste.
Opening as early as 7:00 AM, it works as a morning, lunch or afternoon stop rather than a late-night spot. With budget-friendly pricing and a short typical visit, it suits solo travellers and anyone after a quick, authentic Turkish meat meal.

Reviews
Delicious meat balls and many other grilled meats. They use real olive oil(not the best quality) for the salad and the meat balls include lamb fat!
