Karadeniz Döner Asım Usta

Legendary Doner. The secret lies in simplicity and uncompromising quality. The meat is a precise blend of fresh beef with a touch of lamb (sourced from the Balıkesir and Thrace regions), slow-roasted over a traditional wood fire. It’s served in a fresh, wonderful Pide bread baked right on-site. When the protein and the bread are this good, you don't need any extra "noise"—the flavor speaks for itself. Important things to note: Price & Portion: We paid about €14 for a medium-sized portion and a soda. It is not cheap by Istanbul standards, and the portions aren't huge (we were still a bit hungry), but the quality and taste are indisputable. Pro Tip: They close the moment the meat runs out—usually by early to mid-afternoon. Make sure to arrive early to avoid disappointment. Service & Seating: There is a long queue outside, but the service is incredibly fast and efficient. The space is small and cramped, so expect an "eat and go" experience or take it to-go while exploring the vibrant Beşiktaş district. An authentic, refined Turkish experience that is worth every minute of the wait.

Average taste and definitely not worth the wait or the high price. I ordered 150 grams of meat and the total was 600 TL, which is about USD xxx. The taste wasn’t special at all and nothing that would make you want to come back again. In my opinion, the price is too expensive for a standard döner and it’s simply not worth it

In my opinion, Karadeniz Döner by Asım Usta is one of the best places to eat Döner. The prices are a little bit high, but in return you get quality food and taste. The restaurant has a very limited seating.

Definitely not worth the try. The meat doesn’t taste very good and has a weird flavor. We didn’t enjoy it much and the price for the given quality was not worth it. Very disappointing and not recommended at all. Other places serve much better meat like bayramoglu that we liked much better

Went to see the giant beef kebab, food was good, service excellent and has lots of settings next door. We went in the morning to avoid rush hour and had no wait.

I’ve been eating döner for about 11 years, and this is the only place where the quality has never changed. Asım Usta’s Karadeniz Döner in Beşiktaş is not just a döner shop, it’s one of the few places that truly reflects the spirit of Beşiktaş. The döner here is always juicy, perfectly seasoned, and worth every bite. Even if there’s a long queue, people wait patiently, because they know it will be worth it.

I’ve been visiting here since 1989. In the last years, it has become very popular. Great doner. Expensive in the last years

I had the iskender kabob, kabob wrap and French fries. Iskender kabob was very delicious. Wrap was a little dry but good.
