From The New York Times:
"This is Istanbul’s best restaurant for the traditional cold starters of hummus, feta and stuffed grape leaves, paired with the anise-flavored drink raki. Locals who get drunk enough sing."
Reservations suggested. Full bar. Serving lunch, dinner and late-night Tue–Sun. Closed Mon.
"On a picturesque backstreet in Beyoglu's charming Asmalimescit area, this jewel of a restaurant takes classic meyhane food several levels above the norm. Mezes, brought to your table on a large tray, are all excellent but standouts include cubes of fried eggplant in a yogurt and tahini sauce and Circassian chicken."
