Arnavutköy Restaurant

The original restaurant is in the Arnavutköy neighbourhood, just down the Bosphorus toward the city centre, and is 100% worth going to as well. But if you find yourself further north, this is their other spot. Honestly just the best food.

Order the şalgam alongside your raki. It sounds wrong. It tastes extraordinary. Then pick your fish. There is no way you leave anything less than happy.
