Top 5 Delis in İstanbul Province

Türkali, Mısırlı Bahçe Sk. No: 8/A, 34357 Beşiktaş/İstanbul, Türkiye

“Absolutely amazing vegan food! The desserts were absolutely breathtaking. You need to try the vegan kazandibi (rice pudding cake). It was so good that we had to reorder it. …”

Sura hotel, Alemdar mahallesi Ticarethane Sokak, karşısı No:21/A, 34110 Fatih/İstanbul, Türkiye

“We had a breakfast for 2 people for TL 800. But 11% service charge in bill came as a surprise, and they charged us TL 888. It wasn’t mentioned in the menu. There was no waiter outside when we came, and we needed to find waiter inside to place an order. The price/quality ratio could be better based on our previous Turkish breakfast experiences.”

Şehremini, Büyük Saray Meydanı Cd. No:6, 34104 Fatih/İstanbul, Türkiye

“The service is not bad. I was pleasantly impressed by their cakes and quality of ingredients. The roll cake was my favourite. It had sour berries that complemented the sweet frosting greatly. Their tea was not bad also”

Teşvikiye, Şakayık Sk. No:2/A, 34365 Şişli/İstanbul, Türkiye

“This is a cozy place and great for date nights. The waiters are really nice and know the dishes really well. One of us was a vegetarian and they customized a pizza accordingly it was awesome. The ravioli was also nice.”

Asmalı Mescit, Olivya Gç. 7-A, 34435 Beyoğlu/İstanbul, Türkiye

“We waited 20 minutes for the waiter to take our order. At that time they stood and chatted with each other. The food is simply disgusting. Everything is prepared, we are not ready to make any changes to the dishes, because everything is already ready in the morning. Michelin, what are you doing??? Aw???? This doesn't even qualify as a canteen. This is simply the worst Russian food ever. Just a shame!!! Dirty tablecloths. We ordered drinks, they were not brought at all and included in the bill. KKAAAAAAAkkk?! Michelin?!!!!”

Huseyin Aga Mah Balikpazari Kameriye Sk, Nevizade Sk. No:9, 34435 Beyoğlu, Türkiye

“What can I say? We stayed 4 days in Istanbul and we tried different restaurants. This is the best one. Food: typical, excellent! Very attentive and friendly service. And what about the desserts???? If you pass by and see it empty, don't think it really is: it has a terrace on the fifth floor that is always full! Very affordable prices for a great quality! Super super super suggested!”

Evliya Çelebi, Galatasaray, Meşrutiyet Cd. No:31/B, 34430 Beyoğlu/İstanbul, Türkiye

“Very nice restaurant with interesting decor and good atmosphere. The waiters were all very friendly gentlemen, and ours (who also spoke very good English) was very friendly and attentive. Food was very nice, we had the steak with mushrooms, the chicken kebab and the fried cheese. All delicious.”

Ar Plaza, Kozyatağı Mahallesi Değirmen Sokak, Kozyatağı Sk. No:16/A, 34742 Kadıköy/İstanbul, Türkiye

“Hands down one of the best food experiences I had in Istanbul considering all the factors that make for a great night: delicious food, attentive service, and a fantastic atmosphere. From the outside, it may appear to be an average kebab restaurant, but they certainly don't need a flashy appearance or excessive advertising. Once you step inside you'll understand why. Everything is top-notch, and every little detail is meticulously taken into consideration, marking the difference between a very good and an outstanding establishment. The kebabs we ordered were mouthwatering, the mezzes were all delightful, and the other dishes included in the menu were also delicious. The staff struck a perfect balance between being attentive and not overwhelming. The person in charge was a welcoming and charming man. I will definitely come again, and until then, the friends I recommended will pay a visit for me.”

Tomtom, Kumbaracı Ykş. No:66/B, 34433 Beyoğlu/İstanbul, Türkiye

“I was looking for dinner after a long day of walking in the city and visiting all the tourist attractions and this restaurant was just the prefect place. The location makes it very convenient to visit as it’s close to the Taksim Square. The atmosphere was very warm, comfortable and intimate, the food was delicious and just the prefect portions, but what made me want to write this review was the service, the service was outstanding the staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and meticulous, they made me feel very comfortable. It’s a little pricey but I believe it worth visiting.”

Osmanağa, Muvakkıthane Cd. 6/A, 34710 Kadıköy/İstanbul, Türkiye

“We have tried this dessert in one of the most famous confiserie of Istanbul. It’s a nice combination of their legendary almond paste and white chocolate. The confiserie is located in a comfy historical building of the 50s in the hearth of Kadikoy”

Koşuyolu mah. Kalfaçeşme Sk. No:22, 34718 Kadıköy/İstanbul, Türkiye

“A place I really like to go located in Koşuyolu. Pasta with seafood is definitely recommended. For wine (if you are group of two) buying d'avola as a bottle works really well. Design of the restaurant is also great, happy that I visited :)”

Göztepe, Mustafa Mazhar Bey Sokağı No:18/A, 34724 Kadıköy/İstanbul, Türkiye

“Good food with above average prices. The bread was served piping hot and tasted great with the cheese and butter. The meat in the Köfte smelled a bit and could’ve been done better. The sides tasted alright and the Adana kebab was good, but nothing spectacular.”

Caddebostan, Bilim Sk. No:16, 34728 Kadıköy/İstanbul, Türkiye

“Tasty, traditional food served in a very nice small cozy restaurant. “Tarhana with pumpkin soup” and meatball is very delicious 😋 Fair prices, friendly employees 👍🏻”
