Gavur dagi worth the hype. Crowded outside (seems you need to reserve), nice interior spaces. Highly recommend. Hopefully I'll get back to try the sheep liver.

One look and I knew this was a hot spot. Plenty of locals eating and explaining the food to their friends.. So it had to be good. I had a a few meze, a few raki and tried the Adana and chopped lamb.... BRILLIANT !!!! Im glad I found this website... heading of Durum Zade in a few I decided to do a blind food trip ( still here) to Istanbul to scope out places that would “pop out” to me…

We came across it in an article on World Photo Adventure by Barbara Pasquet James with a link to your site. It was incredible and only locals were there. Damn. A great experience and going back again - Thanks! I’m in Istanbul right now and a bunch of us ate at this restaurant last night.

During my last visit to Istanbul in April 2009 my 'local' friends brought me to Zubeyir for a wonderful kebap experience. I tasted almost everything on the menu. The mezes and especially the kebaps are fantastic! Exactly as good as you have described them in your blog (maybe even better), which, by the way, I find very entertaining and informative. Thanks for all the good information.

I sat right there at the grill at the corner seat next to Zuybeyir usta himself! Throughout the night he sent little plates of morsels our way- grilled peppers, little charred scraps of lamb. He told me that in his years at the grill he has converted a total of two vegetarians. What a character. It was a great experience that I highly recommend even if it gets a bit hot sitting at the grill! Last night I had a particularly good Zubeyir experience.

I have had a chance to visit Istanbul several times over last few months and I wish I had found the website earlier (so that I could have adoided a few of the culinary disappointments). Abracadabra is special indeed, kaymak turned out to be really heavenly (I asked for it at the hotel - you should have seen how happy the waiter was when he brought it to my table - You need to jog afterwards! exclaimed joyfully), but as I am a dedicated meat lover, Zubeyir is definitely at the top of my list. I have been there twice already and I will try more... Many thanks! Adam Hi Guys,
