The 38 Best Istanbul Restaurants | Eater

"Tucked away on a side street in the busy Kurtuluş neighborhood, this small, shabby grill was once a hidden gem, but now its reputation has spread all over the city. The restaurant’s signature dish is Adana kebab, served with grilled tomatoes and peppers, thin lavash bread, and onions with sumac. Start with ciğer şiş, (liver kebab) and sweetbreads grilled to perfection while sipping rakı and watching the usta (master griller) prepare your order on the charcoal fire as the heat slaps your face." - Tuba Şatana

Where Chefs Go: Istanbul

"Of all the kebabs in the city, 'for sure the best [he's] ever had' was at Adana Ocakbaşi. Here, dishes are cooked by one man over an open fire, seasoned with a spice mix of Aleppo, dried herbs, sumac and salt, and served with flatbread, a sour yogurt, grilled tomatoes, raw onion and parsley." - Marguerite Imbert

you’re looking for an authentic Turkish grill experience, Adana Ocakbaşı is an absolute gem. The food was nothing short of incredible—local lamb meat grilled to perfection, bursting with flavor. The salads were fresh and vibrant, with the grilled aubergine standing out as a true highlight. Everything tasted homemade and full of love. It’s clear this place prioritizes quality and tradition. One thing to note for tourists: there aren’t any English-speaking staff, but honestly, that adds to the charm. It’s the kind of place locals go to eat real food, and the atmosphere reflects that.

DON’T GO 16€ for a simple basic Kebab?? No thank you never again!!! Definetly not worth it. I think they scammin tourists. I never seen a kebab worth 16€ - Pitta bread was hard and crunchy (overheated) not eatable. - Meet was okay, lamb. - one Green Pepper grilled - one grilled tomato 100 meters from them there is much nicer kababe and for 5€ only.

Based on a page about best Turkish restaurants to try, I come across this name. The best item said was “Adana kebab “. So took a cab, reached there. Looking at it —small restaurant. There is family room. Complimentary bread provided. Then did the order for Adana kebab. The bite taken was out of the world—succulent, the flavor—I couldn’t describe it. Had to order another. There are other items in the menu for sure should be really good. But couldn’t try as the Adana Kebab throughly satisfied me. Perhaps next vacation….

I ordered their signature Adana Kebab, and it was simply outstanding perfectly spiced, juicy, and grilled to perfection. Every bite was packed with wonderful flavors. The salads and appetizers were a nice addition to the meal. Note: The seating is very close to the grill, so expect the aroma of the cooking to linger on your clothes.

We tried ordered kebabs from lamb, liver, kidney and Urfa kebab - everything was tender and delicious. You literally sit in the same room as the grill, feeling all the vibe and the aroma.

Wow! Just wow! Those who wrote bad reviews regarding service, they must understand it’s a very popular local place and sometimes they don’t wanna deal w/ tourists. Our experience was spectacular. Ordered liver, lamb kebab and Adana kebab and every dish was a hit (esp the livers 😎)! Service was overall good and didn’t have any problem. Just one advice, come here super early. Even on Mondays they completely fill up. In all, I’d much rather come here w/ excellent food at good price rather than touristy places.

They make really tasty kebab. The meat was perfectly seasoned and we also like salad. If you are going near the evening hours, I recommend making a reservation. There are only a few tables. Prices were around 600-700 TL per kebab.
