This restaurant is a must when in Istanbul! The location is centered in the old city where you can feel the culture with every step you take down the road! The staff here are really friendly and even if you don't know Turkish, just point to the pictures on the menu and they'll take care of ya! The food comes out quickly! The meat is cooked really well and perfectly chewy. Get your own plate to yourself and enjoy the meat with the flat bread and veggies! You'll want to be back for more.

You know they take their kebabs seriously here because it's literally the only thing they have on their menu (in addition to some side dishes). We ordered the kebab and kebab wrap and I was mindblown by how good it was -- the meat literally melts in your mouth, with a perfectly charred exterior and tender/juicy interior...and literally no game-y taste at all from the lamb. Would definitely recommend getting the salad and yogurt as well so you can make your own wraps with the lavash it comes with. I was particularly blown away by the yogurt it was so good both on its own and as a condiment.

Small menu and plenty of locals dining here still so prices seemed fair. You can order skewers + the wrap and then dyi rolls by adding the salad, onion, or spicy sauce. You can order additional skewers after a la carte as well. Tastiest I've had so far.

Visited on a Friday night around 7pm with a friend. Place was packed but a few open spots were available so we were seated pretty quickly. Food: Cag Kebab plate which came with two skewers of grilled lamb and two thin pieces of flatbread along with sumac onions. Lamb was well cooked, fairly tender with a nice char, pieces were nice an bite size, two was the perfect portion for a light dinner. Flatbread was great, nice tender chew great for creating little wraps. Onions and sumac added additional layers of texture and flavor which were nice that you could build them into each bite if you wanted the sharpness of the onion and acidity from the sumac. Tomato Cucumber Salad - Nice and refreshing, this added freshness and balance to the grilled lamb. Spicy Tomato Sauce - Not very spicy, wish this has a touch more heat, but nice to have a bright tangy sauce to accompany the grilled lamb. Service was no frills, quick and efficient with a super simple menu. They sometimes even walk around with the side dishes & dessert, you can just let them know which items you want. Overall a great spot for Cag Kebab, fairly priced and really quick and easy meal. Would recommend giving this spot a visit if you're in Istanbul.

Restaurant basically only has 1 thing on the menu so you know it has to be good! Really juicy and tasty lamb! Super fast service.

To the person that wrote that it's "not real kabob," you're completely wrong. It's real cağ kebab! Very good, served fast and hot with onion/sumac and salad sides. Keep in mind that that's essentially the only thing on the menu except maybe a lentil soup. You really literally can't go wrong here! Service is efficient but a bit brusque, and at a number of shared tables.

The horizontal kebab was brought fast , fresh sizzling from the seekh and was astounding in taste. Beautiful !

Very good cag kebab! For those who haven't tried, cag kebab refers to kebab preparation where there is layered lamb meat and fat roasting on a horizontal spit. The portions are apparently smaller, likely as the meat is far more pricey. We started off with a lentil soup, which was slightly gritty and not super seasoned / salty. We ordered two portions of the cag, which came with white onions and some tomatoes. To amp up the flavour, we also got a spicy tomato dip - which was very good and complimented the lamb perfectly! The cag was indeed quite small; there were two small skewers and two thin pieces of lavash. It was very gamey and delicious! You could taste the char and flavour. As it wasn't a big portion, we were able to try other things after, but do be warned... it isn't cheap for its size. They also charge 5 EUR for water (served in sealed transparent plastic cups)

If I had to choose one restaurant I'm going to HIGHLY recommend in Istanbul, this is it. Truly 5 stars across all boards. You'll find this 100% local-type restaurant on a very busy street surrounded by tons of people and liveliness. We were seated immediately; you may need to share a table if you sit outside, which captures the community-type feel of this restaurant. However, there is seating indoors as well. The servers were so kind and attentive throughout our entire meal. The menu is limited, yet they've mastered everything served. It's very straightforward -- you know EXACTLY what you're going to get and it is absolutely delicious. The prices are also very affordable. We ordered almost everything off the menu -- the soup, salad, yogurt, cag kebab, and the cag kebab wrap. AND, we ordered seconds. It's definitely crucial to order at least 1 order of the yogurt per pair of people in your party because it's paired so well with the kebab and honestly just by itself as well. We had such a great experience, with much of it due to the the quality of the food and the amazing service. I plan on coming back to eat here ASAP!!!!
