- Shaileshwori SharmaJune 5, 2016Simple menu, delicious healthy food & great concept executed well. For non- beef eaters there is lamb sheesh kebob. Pickled peppers & free chili condiment really spice up the meal. Pair it with Ayran.
- Tobias ReiperApril 4, 2015The kofte is so juicy and tasty that it is a must have!! Be prepared to queue to get in but it's clean and simple food flavours are worth it at a great price!Upvoted Aug 12
- Hamid HabibollahMay 20, 2018Loved the atmosphere, staff and of course the food. We had Kofte and Shish kebab. Kofte was far better. Don’t forget to ask for their spicy souce. It’s free and does magic 🌶
- Muneera AlbabtainJuly 14, 2017Their Kofta is amazing. Fatty but delicious. I go there every time I visit Istanbul for a good meat meal. Cheap too.
- Ylkär AghayevaMarch 15, 2016The köfte they make! Köfte was just mind blowing! You should definitely taste the regılar köfte and take salad as a side. You won't get dissapointed! 😋
- Maria VoroninaFebruary 2, 2015Very authentic and is generally visited like a sort of attraction cuz the history of the place goes back to 1920! Locals go here for kebab and meatballs which are genuinely good here.
- RossJune 14, 2013This famous Turkish eatery has been in business since 1920 - Often imitated but never duplicated. Come here and try a delicious köfte (grilled meatball). They don't accept credit cards so bring cash.
- Jens GovaertNovember 30, 2018The one, the only and the original Tarihi Köftecisi in Istanbul where you obviously can eat the best grilled Köfte meatballs of Turkey.
- Shayan MassoudiSeptember 20, 2015The best koftas that you can eat in your whole life !!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to tasting it again
- ManaFebruary 2, 2018It has nice kofte u can try like sandiwich (take away) or portion (seating in resturant) but its good
- Aylin AlpustunSeptember 24, 2019It has been open since 1920,very historic. The quality of the meat balls are still pretty good. Not the fanciest decoration, it is like a huge cafeteria. Price decent, they do not accept credit cards.
- Vahap SumerNovember 5, 2015Only have meatballs and lamb shish kebab. But both are amazing. I have been going to this place since I was a kid. It never fails.
- Valentina CiolinoApril 7, 2015They will bring you a spicy sauce for the kofta (grilled meatballs), make sure you try it as hey go perfectly together
- Okan D.August 30, 2015Great great great meatballs. Iti suggest to drink ayran with meatballs. But no credit card is accepted, only cash.
- Abeer VFebruary 2, 2017Order everything on their menu (except the dessert) & you won't be disappointed. Comfort food at its best!
- Arásh ŚJanuary 28, 2022An old brand name koftecisi in Istanbul, very crowded. the quality was awesome the taste was delicious but the interior design is awful. Prices are a bit high according to the food portions.
- Damien BénazetMay 8, 2013Very old and traditional Turkish restaurant with few meals but all very good and at affordable prices. A must to do.
- Steven AndrophyAugust 23, 2013Don't confuse it with its neighbor, you can definitely taste the difference between the köfte! Tarihi Sultanahmet Köftecisi is the one closer to the tram stop.
- Mohammed Al-MohannaSeptember 23, 2016One of the best kofte in Istanbul. It is a must for any visitor.
- Önder BingölOctober 29, 2014Would not be my number one köfte spot. Try Filibe or Namlı Rumeli at Sirkeci for a quieter and more authentic experience.
- Roderick BuenviajeJuly 29, 2015If deciding between the meatballs and kebab, go with the meatballs. They're better, but both are good.
- Mehmet MehmetFebruary 15, 2014Lentil soup + Piyaz salad + grilled meatball+ helva as a sweat. You will not regret...
- Culinary BackstreetsJanuary 2, 2013A good köfte place and much better than most of the tourist-trap options that surround it. Read more
- Lefteris TrigkasJanuary 1, 2015Best kiofte around, take pilaf also the butter smells from the kitchen!
- Alihan DOGANMarch 1, 2013Best meatballs in the world, stick with meatballs and piyaz, you won't be sorry..
