Şehzade Cağ Kebap

Speedy service and great food. A bit pricey but I thoroughly enjoyed the chow. Small menu so we opted for the wrap and the soup. Both were tasty but hands down to the wrap which in it's simplicity is so good. The meat speaks for itself and the char and smokiness comes through nicely. Loved it!

Their Cag Kebab is truly amazing. The simplicity of the menu with only 2 main dishes and a handful sides ( Mixed salad, yoghurt, lentil soup… ) provides a more authentic experience of this restaurant that has been up and running for years. You can taste the flavor and its unique and delicious! The portion of 2 cag kebabs as seen in the picture didn’t quite match a normal portion size. We got the order twice and were not disappointed — just by the pricing per serving.

We ordered the wrap cag kebab, which is a flour tortilla with tomatoes, onions and meat (which I’m not sure if it was lamb or beef). The meat was really good in flavor and in terms of cooking, so I highly recommend it. We also tried a drink made with yogurt, curious flavor, if you are a lover of yogurt without any flavor, try it, if not, better order another drink. Don’t get confused with the photos on the Internet, which make it look like a not so nice place, since it’s quite nice when you’re there.

A Disappointing Dining Experience – Overpriced and Underwhelming I recently visited this restaurant for a solo dinner, despite noticing its relatively high prices. Hoping for a quality meal, I ordered a lentil soup (120 TL) and a kebab plate (420 TL). Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. The lentil soup was, without exaggeration, the worst I’ve had in Istanbul. It lacked depth of flavor and, surprisingly, was not even accompanied by a simple wedge of lemon—a basic expectation for this dish. The main course was even more disheartening. For 420 TL, I expected a satisfying portion, but what arrived was merely two small pieces of kebab, barely enough for four bites. Considering the pricing, neighboring restaurants offer far more generous portions and superior quality at a fraction of the cost. The value for money here was simply unacceptable. To make matters worse, when I paid in cash (600 TL), the staff did not initially return the correct change, only doing so after an uncomfortable three-minute wait. This, combined with the lackluster food and inflated prices, left me feeling taken advantage of. In conclusion, this establishment fails to deliver on both food quality and service, making it an unfortunate experience overall. I strongly recommend avoiding it and opting for better alternatives nearby.

Cage Kebap is so delicious here and fresh I tried it for the first time and it's a special one. You need to try it when visiting Istanbul. The staff is very friendly but you need to bring patience because it's so crowded and full. You can have a meal for 450 Lira with salad

I really enjoyed the visit. The taste of the meat is amazing. There are basically two options, the delicious kebab with bread on the side or the kebab inside a wrap. For the price, it is totally worth it. The service is okay but really fast. The place is crowded and busy most of the time, but which place isn’t in Istanbul. I can only recommend to every visitor visiting the sights close by and also visiting this restaurant.

Very delicious type of kebab. Crispy but you have to expect the oily look and taste as well :)) Was a proper experience having lunch here. Tried the very freshly baked Walnut Kadayif as well. Recommend that one too. The place isn’t fancy. It’s a local place in the heart of old bazaar of Istanbul.

Juicy tasty affordable kebab. Very simple menu, either kebab in plate or wrap. Both are really nice. I went there two days in a row. Saw some locals there, they said this is the place he would come from new town just for the nice meat.
