Namli Pastirmaci

A true hidden gem in the heart of Istanbul! Stumbled upon Namlı Pastırmacı today and it instantly became one of my favorite spots in the city. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the rich aromas of cured meats, cheeses, and spices — a proper feast for the senses. I went for one of their famous pastırma toasts and it did not disappoint. Perfectly crisp bread, generous portions of tender, flavorful pastırma, and melty cheese — simple, authentic, and absolutely delicious. Their sandwiches are equally impressive, packed with high-quality ingredients that you can tell are carefully selected. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, always happy to explain the different options and offer recommendations. There’s a cozy seating area upstairs where you can escape the bustle of Eminönü and enjoy your food in peace — a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. You can also order more dishes above, like eggs and also cay. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re near the Spice Bazaar. Whether for a quick snack or a hearty meal, Namlı Pastırmacı is a must-visit for anyone who loves good food made with passion.

Brightly lit shop of various mezze, preserves and cold cut meats. There is a cafe space above where you can eat ur assembled sandwiches and mezze. The dried green figs are really good. We got some fresh pistachio butter in jars and local honey. There are tasters available for almost all the local produce. Very friendly and attentive staff. Not pushy but enthusiastic to share their produce.

We joined a walking tour and our guide for the tour took us here. The staffs speak English and their menu is also available in English which helped us a lot. You order at the counter, pay for the food at a cashier on the ground floor. You can have it taken away but we decided to go upstairs to eat in (there are tables and chairs on the first and second floor.) The food was amazing. We ordered sandwiches. It was just a simple sandwich but they make the ingredients fresh so it was really enjoyable. If I lived in Istanbul, I would come here every day. :)

Oh my goodness If your like me , watch videos of place making simple and delicious sandwiches overseas, come here and you won’t be disappointed Sujuk cheese and beautiful spices and veggies in a crunchy bun for $5.5 usd

Fantastic food and meze. Always top quality and friendly service. A real hidden gem this is in busy Istanbul. Highly recommended!

This place was a 10/10! We enjoyed our time there. We had breakfast there, we made our own sandwiches choosing from the fresh cold cuts and cheese options and we picked dishes of the mezza and pickles. The bread, cold cuts "cow tongue, pastrami, salami and turkey" and cheese "halloumi, rumi, spicy labneh" was all really delicious and the bread was fresh made! We also purchased some nuts and dried fruits which we tries before purchasing and was really delicious! Worth visiting to eat and shop

Delicious breakfast with a rich charcuterie. The staff is friendly and helpful. Comfy and neat upstairs where you can sit and eat. The toilet is clean. You must eat the pastırma, ask for it.

Delicious and cheap lunch at the market! We were so glad we decided to come here for lunch. Not only was it dirt cheap, it was also delicious! Go upstairs for the sit-down area and enjoy!

Great breakfast joint, I come here every time I'm in Eminonu. The ladies here who serve do so with a smile
