Tatbak

The 38 Best Istanbul Restaurants | Eater

"Every meal at Tatbak starts with their famous lahmacun. The flatbread comes topped with a mincemeat mixture of tomatoes, parsley, and garlic. Add additional parsley, a gentle squeeze of lemon, roll it into a wrap, and dig in. Then explore the restaurant’s kebab offerings, a favorite of locals, including yoğurtlu kebab (meat kebabs with yogurt and tomato sauce served over cubes of pide bread) and kuzu şiş (marinated lamb skewer served with bulgur pilaf, roasted pepper, and tomatoes). The restaurant has been open since 1960 in the posh Nişantaşı district and has maintained a steady following of regulars ever since." - Tuba Şatana
