I had the mixed borek plate (Turkish stuffed pastry, consisting of pacanga borek, spinach triangles, sigara borek, and fried kashar cheese, served with marinara and soy sauce.
They are good but my
favourite is the spinach triangles
The texture and flavour of the spinach is a nice contrast to the cheese filling.
I also had the adana kebab (chilli spice kebab, which is hand-chopped beef and lamb marinated in a traditional hot spice mixture, with Anatolian style pilaf, grilled tomatoes and peppers, served with lavash bread.
I had expected the chilli to be on the meat
itself, but it is actually served in a separate saucer. Nevertheless,
the chilli goes really well with the tender meat.

Stuffed Auberine With Olive Oil 12.50TL
Eggplant stuffed with rice, onion, mint, pine nuts, currants and cinnamon. (V)
*Really good. The blend of spices were really nice with the accents from the pine nuts. A humble egg plant elevated in flavors. Would Highly recommend this dish. Tasted even better with their condiments of either sweet pomegranate syrup, fragrant olive oil and balsamic vinegar. A cold, large portioned, appetizer vegetarian dish which can be a main as well.*
Sultan's Favorite
Beef cubes in a tomato sauce, served on a delicious roast puree eggplant
and kashar cheese 33TL
*Although having egg plant as well, in this dish it added more of a textural component and over shadowed by the cheese. Still creamy and tasteful, with beef cubes complimenting the baked cheese puree. Heavy for one to finish and definitely worth a share.*

Located in the heart of tourist attractions, Hagia Sophia and The Blue Mosque, this side alley eatery delivers large on their hospitality, great tasting foods and at reasonable prices. A nice ambiance with alfresco dining available as well as free wi-fi.
- Note to self. Feed cats only after your meal is done. They are very bold and will come up to eat of your plate. Don't be taken in by their cuteness. Dining company for that day.

Located near Taksim train station. The diner stretches a few stories high, with plesantly ornate decor. Options of seated dining, or communal, sit on floor dining is available. Relatively cheap dining prices but food wise, nothing outstanding or to scream about. A complimentary serve of fresh flat bread, with fresh, spicy salsa. No menus in English, but staff on hand are there to explain them to you.
