I wanted to go eat at the kofte place you recommended in Taksim, but they were all out! I accidentally found this place and finally tried it. It was definitely delicious and just blew the other two pides I’ve tried out of the water, truly a delicious pide and the location is indeed incredibly convenient. Just make the first right turn as you get onto Istiklal from Taksim Square, its right there.

Thanks for the comment and the great feedback. Glad we’ve been able to contribute to your time in Istanbul. As you suggest, we will start noting if a place we review is only open for lunch.

I really like your site. I’m a foodie from NY interning in Istanbul for the summer. I’ve enjoyed your recommendations like the Fasulye Lokanta (amazing!) & Van Kahvalti Ev (also awesome!). So tesskur ederim. One small complaint about this post… I went with a friend the other night to try and eat there and we couldn’t find it. Is this place only open for lunch? If you could mention this type of thing in future posts that would be great. Again, thanks for your hard work (and eating)!

In İstanbul, these are the best places that you can eat pide .Nizam Pide ( Beyoğlu),Fatih Karadeniz Pidecisi (Fatih) and Bafra Pide (Kızıltoprak).Besides pide and lahmacun,there is also etli pide, it should also be tried.

Kırçiçeği, in Ortakoy, is a pide-chain from Izmir. They make Aegean style pide, which is lighter and crispier than the Black Sea style. It’s worth giving a try.
