Paçacı Hasan — Restaurant in Fatih

Overall a decent place for lunch, though it might be on the pricier end. We were not so hungry and had some time to spare before catching our bus to the airport at Aksaray. Ordered 2 dishes and a plate of rice and it cost us 580 Lira. Service was good though- staff took the initiative to serve us bottled water. However, we didn’t need it as we had our own water so I tried to decline and return the bottles. However they put it back on our table and proceeded to charge us 20 Lira per per bottle. Not very sure if this was a practice based on Turkish culture/service. We were able to pay 20 Lira per pax per bottled water just saying. Just hoped to not be charged for something we didn’t...

The best place for lamb! Local Gem!

If you're a tourist looking for local delicious and flavourful cuisines, this is it!

Most locals go here, no silly tourist price. The staff are very friendly but only speak a little English but they are helpful as well.

Bonus: Also one of the cheapest eats in the area!

Highly recommend this place to experience Turkish homecooked food!
