Food Scene

An old-style meyhane with live fasıl music every night by 4 musicians that will play on your table for tips. Very pleasant garden in summer. Their lamb liver is one of the best in Istanbul.

Everything Else

Although their ice-cream is popular I like the "boza" here. A unique malt drink made of maize and sugar. It is very thick and drunk with cinnamon and generally accompanied with roasted chickpeas.

Arts & Culture

A local hamam is just next door. It's cheap but the staff doesn't speak English. It doesn't have separate areas for men and women, instead men and women use the hamam in alternating hours of the day.
