"Take the ferry to the Asian side of Istanbul for a true taste of Anatolia. Çiya Sofrası acts as a memorial kitchen, serving the forgotten dishes of what chef-owner Musa Dağdeviren calls “peasant food.” Start with the salads and meze, then move to the seasonal stews. Don’t forget to save some room for the rich lamb kebabs cooked over charcoal. The food at Çiya delivers bold, vibrant, uplifting flavors in one of the city’s most diverse dining experiences." - Tuba Şatana
