    Hamdi has been in business for over thirty years and serves the finest examples of South Eastern Turkish food. In the summer take a seat on the roof terrace and enjoy the sunset over the Golden Horn and the call to prayer echoing form numerous mosques around you. As the night draws in the Bosphorus lights up to add even more magic to the experience. Make sure you call ahead to book,especially if you want one of the tables with the best view.

    Definitely the pistachio kebabs, succulent meatballs stuffed with nuts. Also the hashasli kebab, with poppy seed and testi kebab, cooked in a terracotta pot and then broken open at the table.

    Hamdi is a Kebab Restaurant in Sirkeci. Although kebabs are not the best in town, the view and the ambiance are nice.

    Kebab with pistachio.

    If you can get to the terrace of this restaurant you won't be disappointed, in my opinion the best views across Istanbul by far. Kebabs are gorgeous and don't miss the baklava

    Hamdi is one of the well known kebab restaurants in Istanbul. The menu provides a variety of specialties. If you can find a place in the terrace (reservation suggested) which overlooks Galata Bridge, you will enjoy the delicious kebabs while you fall in love with the Istanbul silhoutte. Leave some room for the desserts too.

    Fistikli Kebap (Kebab with pistacchio) is my favorite dish. If you like eggplant, they have many nice kebabs with it.

    Hamdi, just west of the Egyptian (Spice) Market, is among Istanbul's most highly-regarded restaurants for meat dishes. They serve chicken, a bit of fish, and you can always get a few vegetarian dishes, but meats, mostly grilled, are the specialty.

  • Loacated near the new mosque and the spice market. This restaurant has great food and good and speedy service but the price are thru the roof......we had lamb kehbab at $15 Lira.....which is fine when we got the plate, it had 4 small chunks of lamb, for $15 lira....way over priced. It would take 3 or 4 plates to have a full meal.....recommend it for the food, but be aware of the prices

  • A spotless restaurant with a lovely terrace on the last floor of an old building in Eminonu. Advance reservation required.

    Try the Hashas Kebab. It just tastes great!

    For the best Kebabs in Istanbul, I guess one needs to head here. Sit on the top floor on the terrace or near the glass wall and enjoy a great view of the Galata Tower as u feast on the kebabs. Every kebab is worth a go.

    The Pistachio Kebab is something I had for the first time and really fell in love with it.
