Develi Etiler — Restaurant in Beşiktaş

One of the best kebab places you can go at European side of Istanbul. The location is super convenient and it’s really spacious. It’s not a usual tourist place since normally locals go there with their friends and families. The mezze’s are delicious, especially hot humus with Turkish bacon, mezze’s with yogurt is my personal favorite:) You also need to try Gavurdagi Salad.
