If you're tourist in Istanbul you should order cacik, gavurdağı, sosyete lahmacunu, közde patlıcan, közde soğan for starters. For meal your taste is important but tarak is the state of art the place.
Best Beyti Kebab in Istanbul. Zübeyir Usta is super cool and nice guy. I definitely suggest you to take your foreign friends to here and sit by the "Ocakbasi"👍🏼
Very cosy place. Like to be there for long time. Finely chopped Lamb kebab for main course and roasted aubergine as an appetizer/meze were so delicious.
One of the best meals we had in Istanbul. Don't snooze on the meat platter sampler thing (and the Raki!) I hear the pork chop is off the chain too (but was sold out by the time we got there :(
The food was extremely astonishing. We ordered special salad, chicken and bayti kabab which were extremely delious, especially when you drink a double raki with your food.
Fantastic food! As Pumpkin was out of season, they brought carrotdip instead and it was great! Both Beyti Kebap and Chicken Shish were out of this world! Highly recommended.
Excellent! Do not leave Istanbul without eating here. Staff is lovely. Setting is small but authentic, packed with locals. Ordered: spicykebab, lamb shish, roasted aubergine, special salad, tzatziki
What a restaurant,everything thing was delicious from the appetizeraubergine & special salad .. for main dish don’t miss shish Kebab & chicken shish if you will go with mixed grills you won’t regret
Zübeyir Ocakbaşı gets very crowded during the day. This place is like the Istanbul kebab land. We recommend that you make a reservation before you go. Prices are quite high but worth it. Read more
Garlickebabchicken wings & specially chopped lamb chops are to die for. Pumpkindip was good as starter. They served a spicy salad and onions in some sweet and tangymarinade and was delish too
We loved the special Lamb Chops, Pumbkin dip and the special salad ... Soo Yummy food.. Note: You have to make reservation before coming .. its always busy with ppl 😍😍 highly recommend it 😊😊
Cosy decoration, delicious food and possibility to see famous Turkish people from business people to artists or journalists. You should book a table in advance.
If you are fond of appetizers you must try this restaurant. Kebabs' quality are ultimately good. If you want to eat traditional high quality kebab it's a must go.
Great starters, great main courses! Ate there with my parents, and we weren't disappointed at all: awesome lamb, next to Taksim, reasonable prices. What would you want more?
Come a bit earlier than the friends, grab your raki, run to the balcony and install yourself. think, and dream for a while...Do NOT forget to make the ceremony alone!! -Highly recommended;)
Nice atmopshere. Very good food, the minched kebab was amazing.Was seated next to the big barbecue and had a great meal. Nice atmosphere, good food and good services.
This has to be one of the best ocakbasi in Taksim for sure, food is great normally I wouldn't order chicken but her its delicious. I recommend you to try it! Taste it for your self! ;)
We recommend the pumpkin spread meze. All grill items are fantastic - try chicken wings (kanat) or lamb chops (pirzola). Reservations recommended. English menu available. Read more
Don't try to order your whole dinner from the get go. Pick 2-3 mezes, 1-2 portions of meat, drink your rakı and eat gradually. Pick 1-2 different meat portions for round 2. Repeat.
