I think they may well operate a special pricing policy for visitors (we're obviously English with no Turkish) eg we paid 55TL for 2 mains & 1 fig dessert. The food was fine but they took the gilt from the gingerbread ... we were warned about the taxi drivers but not aware some restaurants might get tacky. A shame because we had a great trip & really enjoyed the food everywhere we tried in Istanbul... Ciya would be a gem anywhere & when i think what we ate & drank there was cheaper than Havuzlu.

It is the best döner one can eat in Istanbul. When you are facing the Nuru Osmaniye Gate, take the small road to your right and go down. When you see another rşght turn, take it and you will see Dönerci Şahin on the left. It is hard to miss since it's always crowded. There are no tables or chairs, you have to take your döner and eat it standing, but it's totally worth it. Enjoy! Hi,

In order to call some skewered meat Adana it has to be lamb and tail fat minced via a zırh( a big knife) and it has to be flavoured only with salt and red pepper. Mehmet serves ground meat on skewer with a combination of spices. People may have different tastes but there is only one way to serve Adana.
