Tatar Salim serves up some of the best döner in Istanbul - it's a truly authentic dining experience. 🌯
The spacious restaurant layout is perfect for families with kids. The salad and pickled veggies that come with the döner really elevate the flavors. And the lentil soup is absolutely delicious.
The only potential downside is that the food can take 15-20 minutes to arrive, depending on how busy the place is. So if you're in a hurry, this might not be the most ideal spot. But the quality of the meal makes the wait worthwhile.
The restaurant itself is very clean and well-maintained. The prices are a bit above average, but you definitely get what you pay for in terms of taste and freshness.
I highly recommend rounding out your meal with the creamy rice pudding dessert - it's the perfect sweet finish.
Overall, Tatar Salim offers an exceptional döner experience that's worth the visit, even if you need to allow a bit of extra time. It's one of the best in Istanbul, in my...

The only negative thing was the service however. We waited quite long to get served (it was very busy, so it’s understandable), but still. Don’t expect the waiters to understand English. Though, that just adds to the experience and is definitely not a...
Read moreI know Döner became an international fast food evolved for different tastes in different countries. But in Turkey, Doner is still about the meat. I am dining in Tatar Salim since they first opened and have been there twice in last month. I saw that Tatar Salim is more about thé side dishes, great salad, but not about the meat anymore. Great salad, normal side dishes and normal döner. In my opinion its not worth waiting in line for meat but its still a good...
