Experts' Choice Award Tarihi Sultanahmet Koftecisi
What the experts agree on
Istanbul's legendary köfte specialist does one thing perfectly—juicy meatballs in a rambling, marble-topped venue dripping with authenticity. Affordable, reliable, and the real deal among lookalikes on the street.
“Only two main dishes: meatballs and lamb skewers...among the best meals you'll find in the city.”

Time Out "The restaurant which has tables spread around the entire building...marble tables and creaky stairs all add to the venue’s authenticity...the restaurant is also frequented by tourists." Full review
Frommer's "In classic Turkish style, it specializes in just one thing and makes sure it does it right. It serves the Turkish staple, köfte...this makes an affordable and reliable lunch stop when you need a break" Full review
