Dürümcü Raif Usta — Restaurant in Fatih

If you're craving the ultimate BBQ experience in Istanbul then look no further! I visited this amazing Dürüm house after finding out about it through YouTuber Mark Weins!

This place absolutely lived up to expectation and despite appearing initially chaotic these guys get the order to your table (or rather bench) very swiftly and the Meat Dürüm I ordered was easily one of the tastiest street foods I've ever eaten!

The kitchen area whilst at first glance may seem like a jarring cacophony of noise and chaos is actually a very well oiled machine and these guys constantly have meat grilling on the skewers and an assembly line for the spices, salads and wraps before they are thrust into the grateful hands of hungry diners!

This is Turkish street food at it's absolute...

Very good food — reasonably priced and great value for money. Even though it was hot outside and they cook over an open fire, it was pleasantly cool indoors. The menu was in Turkish, which it was easy to translate using Google Translate’s camera feature.

They cook everything to order, and it doesn’t take long for the food to arrive at your table. All dishes are served with grilled hot red peppers (spicy), which go incredibly well with the food I had the liver kebab — it was spot on. The place was filled with locals, most of whom were enjoying their kebab with Ayran, so I decided to try it too — and it worked really well together

The view was very pleasant as well. Definitely coming back and...

Ya know, I can’t pronounce the name of this place. But I WILL remember it. And I will find it AGAIN. When a place is memorable, it stays etched in your mind for good. A friend recommended that we come here. It was a fifteen minute walk from where we were. I was like, oh Jesus, since Istanbul is a place of much walking (which is great). Well, we came here and I tell you that the food is an absolute treasure. Come HUNGRY. Your stomach and taste buds will give you a fist bump. I’m picky about restaurants, but this one right here is the REAL DEAL. Come see for yourself!! Gather with friends or make some new friends!!...
