What you can expect

Experience the essential flavours of Turkey on this culinary journey across İstiklal Street. We begin with traditional Turkish tea, served in its iconic tulip-shaped glass—strong, aromatic, and a warm symbol of Turkish hospitality.

Along the way, we taste a variety of beloved street foods and local specialities. Enjoy Gözleme, a hand-rolled stuffed flatbread cooked to perfection, followed by Çiğ Köfte, a spicy bulgur-based delicacy packed with bold flavours. We continue with classics like Mantı, tiny dumplings topped with garlic yoghurt and spices, and Tantuni, a deliciously seasoned meat wrap from southern Turkey. Of course, no visit is complete without trying a Dürüm Kebab, filled with tender döner meat wrapped in soft lavash. For a sweet finish, indulge in Baklava, famous for its crisp layers of filo, rich nuts, and fragrant syrup.
