Kral Kokoreç Sirkeci — Restaurant in Fatih

This kebab shop is a hidden gem! I walked in just wanting a quick bite, but I left with a belly full of deliciousness and a newfound respect for the art of kebab making. The kebabs are so good, I think they might be made by a culinary wizard.

The meat is so tender, it practically sings love songs to your taste buds. The veggies are fresh, the sauces are out of this world, and the pita bread... let's just say, if I could marry a piece of bread, this would be the one.

The filling didn’t taste like offal af all, it was actually very fatty and tasted if the seasonings they sprinkled on top (something like salt, some chili powder, and s spice similar to thyme.) I wish they had sliced off a piece of the kokorec that was more crispy as that would have cut through the fattiness a bit for me. It wasn’t amazing, but it also wasn’t as bad as I thought...
