"Giritli offers a hidden dining experience in Ahırkapı, under old trees in a courtyard garden. Owned by Chef Ayşe Şensılay, the restaurant preserves Cretan culinary traditions with seasonal ingredients. The menu features olive oil-based dishes, including signature mezes like Girit mezesi, and seasonal delights like mutton stewed in wild fennel greens. The ambiance is enhanced by taverna music and a welcoming atmosphere." - MICHELIN Guide
