The pearl of culinary Istanbul, where the direct descendants of the man who invented Iskender kebab in the 19th century cook exactly as their ancestor intended. The place is unique, which is simply necessary to visit both from a gastronomic and cultural-historical point of view. Of course, the establishment may seem very simple - exactly one dish is prepared and served there, and the interior is not striking in luxury. Nevertheless, it is here that you can try the perfect Iskender, as it was conceived and which has firmly entered the Turkish cuisine, becoming the progenitor of a myriad of imitations that have spread all over the planet.
A very cool one-course restaurant is Iskander. This is baked lamb with vegetables, sour cream and local flatbread. It is unexpectedly delicious, and goes well with ayran, which is immediately offered. There is also a very cool grilled eggplant salad, I do not remember what it is called, I attach a photo of it. In general, I recommend it!
An interesting one-course restaurant. There are a lot of waiters. One looks like a young Harry Potter. Visitors are even photographed with him. Fast feed.
Of the cons: They will definitely try to cheat. Which size of Iskander you do not choose. The receipt will have a maximum cost of 1.5 servings. If you are indignant, the waiters will come running and shake plates of different sizes, assuring you that they brought you in the largest plate, which means it is 1.5 servings).
A delightful place. There is only one dish - Iskander kebab, but it is so delicious that you want to lick your fingers. And what caring waiters, what kind of entourage they create around visitors is beyond praise. It's expensive, but it's worth it.
A chic restaurant, and most importantly inexpensive. The food is very tasty, I have never eaten such kebabs. There are children's, large and double portions. I advise you to take a large portion. Ayran is also served. I advise you to take ayran for meat, it tastes even better with it
Only the inskander is served, there is a choice of a children's portion, standard and 1.5 (or double).
Very tasty, very interesting design inside.
Everyone is very polite.
A restaurant that serves a single dish, but has been doing it for a very long time. The price is not small, but the portions are quite large and it is very tasty. The service is good and fast.
