Kosk Kebap Durum Evi — Restaurant in Fatih

I am lost for words.

I have had hundreds of kebabs through the years. The best kebab experience i have ever had was the garlic kebab at Kösk Kebap.

Outstanding food - balance of accidity, salt, sugar and umami. Kösk Kebap has outstanding outdoor facilities with walnut tables, cozy sofas and perfect location.

What truly contributes to the experience of having dinner at Kösk Kebap is the outstanding service. You will feel welcome any given day, any given time, any given mood.

In the jungle of kebab places in Istanbul you cannot go wrong with Kösk kebap. A short walk from the blue mosque or Agia Sofia and you will be greeted with lovely food.

I would highly recommend acquiring food at Kösk Kebap and it stands out as the best authentic kebab i have had. Period.

End your feast with a sweet dessert like the baklava paired with coffee or a cup of tea and you will be greatly satisfied.

The staff knows english and they accept...

THIS IS THE BEST LOCAL SPOT!

In the heart of Istanbul’s tourist hotspots (Haga Sophia & The Blue Mosque) resides this gem. It is a local-favourite & despite the tons of recognition & awards from Trip Advisor, has not been overwhlemed with Western Commercialization & become a tourist trap.

We ate here 3x in 3 days & each time was better than the last. They speak ENGLISH & the menu is very simple yet flavourful. One thing to be aware of is that the actual dining area is upstairs so it requires going up about 15-20 stairs (pictured) so if you struggle with stairs, this could be a challenge.

Phenomenal food & very friendly service.

Loved this spot 10/10!

I’d recommend getting the lemonade on a hot day as it is...

We decided to try this place based on the great Google reviews and thanks everyone! You did not steer us wrong! This place was great. Wonderful food, superb service! And if you’re looking for a more authenticity local-feeling experience, head to Kosk. This restaurant is split into two spots across the street from one another. The owner is so nice! He wasn’t trying to sell us on anything. He led us to our own private room upstairs and we had a great people-watching view from our window. All the food was delicious! I ordered the Aubergine Kebap based on another review. Be aware is also has lamb, which I usually don’t order, but it was delicious! The other picture is the Chicken Salad...
