Beyti’s menu satisfies all appetites, whether it’sfamous kebab Beyti’sor a tender entrecote.

1. Zübeyir

This copper-hood grill restaurant is popular for its kebabs prepared in front of your eyes. As cozy and warm as a friend’s living room rather than a restaurant, the three floors of Zübeyir combine wooden tables and lively conversation all around. I often go there with a large group of friends, to eat rak and munch on lamb meat and gavarda salatas (a salad of finely diced onions and tomatoes).

For dessert, don’t miss the excellent baklava, which has also made Develi a popular name in Istanbul.
