 Haci Abdullah Restaurant by hekate I have been told that Haci Abdullah Restaurantis is a restaurant with a long history and it is also a fine example of the Ottoman cuisine. I should say I agree that it is a great place to eat :) There is a wide variety of dishes and they offer really good choice of sweets. The interior is stylish and the service is good. At least I could not complain from it. Prices: Salads: around YTL 5 Main dishes: around YTL 14 Desrts: around YTL 4.50 OK, here is the disappointing bit: Alcohol is not served in this restaurant. I have been told that the owner is a bit conservative and that is the reason for not serving alcohol.
Well, I had Tas kebab. Delicious :))) Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterAddress: Beyoglu / 17, Sakizagaci CaddesiPhone: +90 (212) 293 85 61Directions: If you come from Taksim Square down Isticlal Streetturn right on Sakizagaci STreet, walk a bit and you will see it on your left.Website: http://www.haciabdullah.com.tr/English/index.htm Other Contact: haciabdullah@haciabdullah.com.tr

Haci Abdullah a half block northwest off Istiklal Caddesi at Sakizagaci Caddesi 17, is among the city's famous old dining places. The ambience is bright and lively rather than quiet and dark, the Turkish food is delicious, but no alcoholic beverages are served. This is a great place for women traveling alone to dine undisturbed.Credit cards are accepted.
Deserving particular mention are Hunkarbegendi (pureed aubergines with lamb); Elbasan tava; Manisa kebabi; kuzu incikli patlican (aubergines with lamb); kuzu tandir (lamb cooked tandoori-style); kuzu dolmasi (stuffed lamb); and kuzu incik baglama (lamb 'olives' stuffed with aubergine and tomatoes). Haci Abdullah is famous for its fruit compotes, but also makes an excellent baked quince and dessert of bananas, cream and honey.

 Beans starter by tere1 This is an excellent restaurant if you want to taste real ottoman food. It's an old well reputated establishment located in the center of Taksim. They have an extensive list of starters and dishes such as eggplant stuffed with lamb, different kebabs, meatballs and many more. I really loved the "baked lamb shank" and the starters with beans and eggplant with yogurt sauce. Food is delicious here! For dessert try their wonderful baklava or the pudding with dry fruit. Highly recommended! Leave a Comment

My story of discovering this place is very simple. Once we walked a lot around Istanbul and when got back to our hotel in the evening found out that we forgot about dinner while our wanders and decided to find a place to have a bite.... We came to Istiklal and went from place to place choosing the "right one" but half of the were already closed, of the other half we liked nothing (as it happens from time to time)... and then I saw a lighted sign in some of the side streets, we went to see what's there and found the place...
Later on I was told by the locals that it's very famous place and one of the best, if you want to try the real local cuisine. It's true! :)) Leave a Comment

Is a very nice place to enjoy the most typical Ottoman Style food located in the middle of the city. Excelente flavor and tasty food, all the service was very nicewith friendly people. We enjoy amazing time with a great company (Big tomato). The Restaurant is a little Ottoman museum, the decoration is really nice, with an excelent quality food. Is very cozzy place to enjoy a family, friend or bussines dinner, lunch or snack time. Very clean place ...very important point for me heehe.
I cant remember the name but was something like fried bread and inside chunck meet with nut really delicius. I have to ask my friend Bulent for the name...

 Some desserts examples from Haci Abdullah by infinitys The atmosphere of this restaurant is actually very nice compared with other restaurants of Istanbul. You have a lot of different choices from turkish and ottoman kitchen here. The staff is also friendly and english speaking. The quality of the foods are also certificated with ISO 9000. Actually according to my opinion,you will be extremely surprised due to the high amount of delicious alternatives that you have in ''Haci Abdullah'' :)
Classical examples from ottoman kitchen,different desserts,perfect soups,recipes,kebabs and meals are one of the strenght points of this restaurant. Leave a Comment

 happy chefs by Alikatt The place evokes grandeur especially in the cavernous room way back. That is where you should sit if you go for lunch of dinner. I was taken there for lunch by a local who is a regular diner. He knew the staff and the staff knew him. Service was attentive and superb. On my second time, I went in as a tourist although accompanied by a male Turkish friend. The service was not as good as the first time. This summer I dined with a fellow VTer who is female. We were treated well and there was a lot of laughter. The food is described as those which have been prepared for the Ottoman sultans of the past but to me they all looked good, tasted good but it wasn't haute cuisine. One can tell though that the area where preapred food is displayed, is kept immaculately clean. I like the lamb shank, the appetizers with eggplant and the special quince dessert. They have a separate chef for dessert and a dedicated area where all the dulce desserts are presented as well. I almost always order the same food everytime I set foot there because they never disappoint. This past summer I went for lunch one day and returned a few weeks later for dinner. I was surprised that they have the same exact food for luch as for dinner! It was my first time to go for dinner so when the lamb arrived, I wanted to have red wine with it. I was in for another surprise! They don't serve alcoholic beverage. I think it is published in their website that they adhere to religious tradition but I obviously didn't see it. I would go there again when I return to Istanbul.
The food I named above taste very good and are far superior to the fast-food version one can get in Istiklal. The fresh ingredients, the quality of the food the whole ambiance of Haci Abdulla is a must for visitors. It is actually quite popular among the locals as well.

 A view from inside by muratkorman This restaurant is one of the best in Istanbul for serving traditional Ottoman cuisine. Although quite expensive, the quality of the food is very high. Many tourists think that Turkish cuisine consists of kebabs. However, due to the geographic location it has meditarrenian, east european and middle east influences. Moreover, Ottoman cuisine even has more influences owing to the wide spread empire in 3 continents. This restaurant is a good place to try some of these highly sophisticated meals that used to be served to Ottoman Sultans.
There are many dishes with meat and vegetables that could attract your taste. I suggest "Dana Emense" which is a meat dish from beef. Many interesting dishes are waiting for you to choose. Don't forget to order "Karisik Meyve Kompostosu" which is mixed fruit compost that is home-prepared and stored in glass containers for 2 years before serving.
