Lonely Planet review for Haci Abdullah

Just contemplating the sensational imam bayildi (‘the imam fainted’) at Hacı Abdullah’s makes our tastebuds go into overdrive. This İstanbul institution (it was established in 1888) is one of the best lokantas in the city and is one of the essential gastronomic stops you should make when in town. You’ll find all the traditional favourites, as well as a wide selection of desserts, including home-bottled fruit compote and a delicious künefe (shredded wheat pastry with pistachios, honey and sugar). The elegant surrounds feature bottle upon bottle of pickled vegetables and comfortable banquette seating. No alcohol is served.

    great food

    aliciak recommends this,

    Great food; must go! I also tasted turkish delights after the dinner with the coffee. Then I searched for Turkish delight and found great ones in Birim Çerez also located in Taksim; hotels' district.
