Haçapuri — Restaurant in Kadıköy

İstanbul is a very big and crowded city with over 18 million inhabitants. A logical consequence of this is the huge number of street food parlors, from döner saloons to kebap houses, etc. Some say that Hacapuri is the best black sea pita bread (Karadeniz pidesi) house of the city. From my point of view, to support this claim, I should have tasted at least %75 of similar pita bread houses of İstanbul, which I haven't.

Next time definitely trying it out with ayran. We top it up with a rice pudding with hazelnuts and wow, delicious. Perfect sweet to end a night out. Is it too obvious I really like this...

I came here with expectations because of the name "haçapuri", sounded like Georgian pide with white salted cheese and egg. We took two, but were disappointed, because they used another cheese - yellow one, cheddar, (should be white salted suluguni or kaşar) and when you mix it with egg, it's get cold soon, totally different taste and difficult to grab inside with bread. but looked it good, dough was pretty good. but unfortunately 😕 another pide was "close pide", too crispy, too much dough. maybe I will give this place another chance, try open pide...but service were polite, place is simple - lokanta style. clean. for 3 pide and çay we...
