Hilal’s Guide to Istanbul City
Yemek ortamı
Wanna try the best Turkish food? Lahmacun is a traditional Eastern Turkish classic and they have a native chef from Diyarbakır here! Definitely try spicy lahmacun and to get the full experience ask for “Katmer” dessert (people write poems about this deliciousness!)

Historical Bakery - has the oldest oven in Turkey inside with a cute sitting area in front / best to chill alone or with friends day or night because its open 24 hours!! (At 2 a.m. they have the best fresh baked goods and on some Tuesdays Italian chef bakes a special bread, do try!)

BEST SYRIAN FOOD PLACE! Low prices and delicious food. Falafel, shawarma, maklube, hummus are few of my favorites. Inside dining place is poorly decorated - I prefer to get a takeout or get a beer stand outside and enjoy it! (Don’t mix it up with the Ottoman place)
