Kaşıbeyaz Restaurant
Restaurants - Kaşıbeyaz Restaurant / İstanbul
As our long time subscribers will notice, we have not talked much about kebap restaurants in Istanbul, a popular specialty of the Turkish cuisine. This time we have visited Kasibeyaz a restaurant facing the airport. A very famous stop for Istanbul dwellers, this restaurant attracts also many travelers staying in the hotel near the airport. The hall is scaringly large and crowded: almost a few hundred visitors having their dinner in the huge dining hall. The first two things that comes to mind are the quality of service and level of noise: Surprisingly the service is excellent and the level of noise is low.
There are many appetizing starters from the Southeast region of Turkey, where the kebabs originate: cig kofte (raw meat minced many times with spices), tulum cheese, white cheese (a cousin is known as feta cheese in the US), and watermellon. Raki, wine and other drinks may accompany the starters. Then come the kebaps: Alinazik (with mashed eggplants), Adana (the basic with red pepper), Urfa (mild without hot spices), Lamb shish and many more…
The suggested desert is Kunefe, a delicious sweet with cheese served hot.
All of the above including drinks around USD 15-20 per person.
TWARP rating : 9 out of 10.
