Full description

Tarihi Sultanahmet Köftecisi Selim Usta serves one main thing: grilled köfte, the elongated Turkish meatballs, in a simple, no-fuss format close to the historic sights. Opinions are divided: some reviewers say the juicy, perfectly cooked meat exceeded their expectations, while others find the limited menu and tourist-heavy setting feel like a tourist trap.

It is budget-friendly, takes around 45 minutes, and is open daily from late morning until 10:30 PM, making it a convenient refuelling stop for families and solo travellers sightseeing in the area rather than a special-occasion meal.
