Hello everyone! In today's blog I'll show you where to eat for an affordable price in Istanbul. So, instead of eating in those fancy and fast-food restaurants that we mostly have in many other countries, I will give you some other options, and you can have also traditional Turkish food with great prices.
For example, this food it's very cheap.
It has a very affordable price and it's good this is some traditional Turkish food. As you can see here, I have these little rolls, these are made of some leaf, and this ones are our called "sarma." These ones are filled with some rice and raisins and these are really good. Got some soup, which in Turkey soups are very famous and we cannot eat without soups. Got a lentil soup, and then some meat, with potato on top. So, these dishes for all we pay less than thirty lira for both with drinks included. So, here you will find many options and also if you don't eat any meat, they also have a many dishes with only vegetables. So, if you don't like meat, you have both options, something with meat or only vegetables. So, we totally recommend you this if you want to eat as a local in Istanbul.
This is another place we found here in Taksim area.This is very good because here you can find many types of kebab and also they have this traditional Turkish dessert which called Künefe made of cheese.
The prices are pretty much affordable for everyone. As showed you previously I mean the portions are big. So, even one is enough for two people if you don't feel very hungry but if you would like also one for each that's perfect. Here, we have also this traditional drink in Turkey which is called "Ayran" made out of yogurt and water and salt and this is so good.This is delicious so this goes very well with Kebab. First of all I will show you how we can eat this one. First we grab a piece of pita bread and then we put here the Kebab and then we put a little bit of sauce here and there you go we are ready to eat it.
Right now we are here in one place which is called "Sultanahmet Köftecisi" and this one is very famous here.
In the most touristic area and as you can see we are eating some köfte (meatball) this is very traditional here in Turkey, and also we have some peppers and some salad made of beans and with bread and of course it couldn't miss this traditional drink which is made of yogurt and it's called Ayran. So, I will show you around more things. This is so good and so spicy. The sauce, I don't know what is it made of, but really it's so spicy and i love it because, it's been a while since I last tried something really spicy.
Here, is another food with affordable price called as "PIDE WITH MEAT AND CHEESE." To nake it first of all make a dough, put some meat and top it with some cheese and bake it.
This is another place that we have found here on the Asian side of Istanbul which is the district called "Kadıköy." It is very close to "Moda." Moda is a very famous neighborhood here in Kadıköy area. So, if you're here in this area, I totally recommend you to come to this place. They sell this traditional Turkish dish which is called Mantı and these are some sort of dumplings but they put some yogurt on top with some tomato sauce and everything and it's really good.
So, this is totally homemade and this is a little place and this is very local. So, once again if you want to eat as a local, we totally recommend you to come here, if you're here in Kadıköy area, these are so good. This is one of my favorite Turkish dishes. Hopefully, you have enjoyed all these places that, I have shared with you about the most traditional Turkish dishes and some of the best places with great prices.
