Tatbak

"Tatbak has been the go-to kebab place for many an Istanbulite since 1960. They come for the retro setting, with its beautiful stained-glass windows and marble, but mostly for the local vibe and great value for money. The spicy lahmacun (Turkish pizza), and the kebab with lamb and minced beef are just two examples of their top sellers." - Michelin Inspector

The 38 Best Istanbul Restaurants | Eater

"Every meal at Tatbak starts with their famous lahmacun. The flatbread comes topped with a mincemeat mixture of tomatoes, parsley, and garlic. Add additional parsley, a gentle squeeze of lemon, roll it into a wrap, and dig in. Then explore the restaurant’s kebab offerings, a favorite of locals, including yoğurtlu kebab (meat kebabs with yogurt and tomato sauce served over cubes of pide bread) and kuzu şiş (marinated lamb skewer served with bulgur pilaf, roasted pepper, and tomatoes). The restaurant has been open since 1960 in the posh Nişantaşı district and has maintained a steady following of regulars ever since." - Tuba Şatana

I visited a restaurant known for having earned Michelin stars and for serving the famous "Turkish pizza" lahmacun. Unfortunately, I was met with a big disappointment. The lahmacun was nothing special—I’ve had much better at other places, and the price of 220 TL for this dish was excessive. I understand that a Michelin star increases the price, but at least maintain consistency in both quality and flavor that justifies the star. As for the soup, they only had one option (Ezogelin), and they offered only one dessert (Kadayif). The food selection is very limited, so don’t expect anything extraordinary from this restaurant.

The food was amazing! Everything was fresh, and the flavors were well-balanced and delicious. The staff were clean, kind, polite, and very welcoming. A great experience to try high-quality and tasty Turkish food.

A true Turkish food place to enjoy the original flavours. Outstanding service and great prices. Best lahmacun (Turkish pizza) and excellent desserts. Must go place if you want to avoid tourist traps 😂

I want to write a review about Tatbak — a place known for its lahmacun. I first visited it back in 2015, when someone recommended I try their lahmacun. Since then, I’ve been in love. Every time I fly to Istanbul — which happens rarely, maybe once every 4 years — I make sure to visit this place. It’s a very simple spot. One of those places that doesn’t try to impress with fancy interiors or upscale design. But what it does have is incredibly delicious food. Specifically, their lahmacun. I highly recommend visiting Tatbak. I would rate it 5 out of 5 — not just for the food, but for the consistency and dedication they’ve shown over the years. Their quality hasn’t changed, and that alone deserves real respect.

The food was okay, but be careful of bill. We weren't given a printed bill, just a handwritten one, and we ended up paying more than we should have without realizing it. The server didn't mention it, and we only realized it ourselves after we paid. We had to ask for the money back, which was frustrating. A printed, itemized bill would make things more transparent.

There was a line in front of the store because its so well known. The food was worth the wait (about 10 min for us), so tasty and absolutely delicious. The service was less than we expected for such a famous place, the waiters were rude and it took a long time for our food to come, other people got their food almost instantly or within 5 min. The atmosphere was that of a fast food restaurant, loud people and close together. The food came quickly and people ate quick and left quick. I wouldn't go if you're looking for a cozy place to eat and sit. If you're looking for amazing food and don't really care about the atmosphere then this is the place to go.
