Kuzina Pide — Restaurant in Eyüpsultan

What a nice coincidence that I found this 'pide' (not shifa) place. More than happy to know the place and people: so kind, nice and smiling. Clean place and food is delicious. The reason for the three stars is not to disappoint people with high expectations: the decoration is quite simple...but that's all. Much better from all those eatery at the square, where the Eyüp mosque is. Easy to go: when you are at the square, take the mosque to your right, walk directly upward; Kuzina shall be to your left after few hundred meters ( at the lower corner of 'Hamam çıkmazı street). Price is probably much less than $10 (excluding the tip, which they really deserve) depending on what you eat and how many people.

Would love to go back and try other flavors. Apparently they do a good meat pide, the mixed veggies with eggs looked appetizing as well. The service were great as well, the guys working there are very helpful and nice. They offer us sweets (which were tasty as well) and tea...

Delicious food, quick service, and a cozy local vibe — highly recommended! I had the Mixed pide, and it was prepared surprisingly fast, served warm, and topped with what looked like homemade creamy butter — such a nice touch. The flavor was amazing, and I honestly wish there were more places like this around Istanbul.

The restaurant was clean, the service was friendly and attentive, and it was clearly a popular spot — there were lots of locals dining in, which is always a good sign.

Personally, I found it just a bit too salty for my taste, but it was still absolutely delicious overall. Would...
