Full description

Yanyalı Fehmi Lokantası is a traditional Istanbul lokanta, family-owned across three generations and serving Turkish home-style cooking since 1919. The format is simple: you sit down, walk to the counter where the prepared dishes are on display, and choose what you want, which removes any language barrier.

Reviews

What an amazing authentic place to eat that is run and owned by 3 generations! We were treated so kindly and the food was delicious! Amazing hospitality and beautifully well maintained; almost like eating in the dining room at home. Love the ambiance.
