Tezveren Baba Ocakbasi — Local services in Fatih

This restaurant has the best kebab in Istanbul.

I don’t usually write reviews, but this one truly deserves it.

The food is top quality. They prepare everything themselves, starting from the raw ingredients.

The grill is outstanding 🔥 and they add condiments and spices that give the dishes an incredible flavor.

As if that weren’t enough, the waiters and owners are extremely friendly. They invite you to tea, salad and apppetizer

I highly recommend the lamb head kebab — it’s spectacular, probably the best I’ve ever had. The dessert Künefe was also amazing.

I felt sad leaving Istanbul because it means I can’t have dinner again at such an authentic place.

On top of that, the prices are very cheap, as many locals eat here and quantities are more than enough.

I hope to see...

This is definitely an hidden gem in Istanbul.

Atmosphere: The atmosphere was just perfect! The guy serving our table was very funny and great at entertaining both children and adults, the other workers were super friendly 5/5

Service: The food was served fast, warm and well timed. They answered our questions with great detail, while also making sure the food was customised to the preference of the customer. They also gave us a free cup of tea 5.5/5

Food: The “kelle” is one of the most authentic ones you can have in the whole istanbul. The first sip of the soups and ayran gave me the feeling of “this is what i am searching for”. You can find most of the durums everywhere else in Istanbul so i recommend trying the more rare and authentic dishes...

Good food the kebabs tasted awesome. We came here looking for dinner but found out it was lambs head meat which my wife decided it wasn't for her.

So we got a lentil soup which was tasty ,could taste some mint and definitely lamb stock and only 7 lira.

We shared a mix platter which came with four plates of veggies and boy did that hit the spot the spicy skewered lamb was great but it was actually the chicken breast which really wowed me. Wonderfully moist and subtle hint of smoky charcoal I really loved it.

That platter was only 47 lira which in my book is a complete bargain.

Didn't see any tourists here either only point deducted is because space is a premium and...
