Tayba Falafel is truly the OG Tayba and the heart of this street! We went in thinking we’d need to order multiple dishes, but the server honestly told us that the Tayba Special for 4 would be more than enough for our group of 5, and he was absolutely right. The generosity of the portions blew us away.
For just 1400 TL total for 5 people, we enjoyed a huge, beautifully arranged spread that had everything you’d want in an authentic Syrian experience: hummus, baba ghannoush falafel, kibbeh, foul, fatteh, fries, and more. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and felt like real homestyle cooking.
The restaurant was super busy when we arrived, which already told us it was a local favorite, and we were lucky to find a spot. The energy, service, and the unbeatable value made the whole visit even more memorable.
If you want authentic Syrian food in Istanbul, especially in this area, Tayba Falafel is a must-visit, you won’t leave hungry or disappointed!
