Tired of kebabs? El Sabor mixes things up with generous dishes of pasta, Asian noodles and plenty of steaks. There's a kid's menu, a decent wine selection, and you can't beat eating outside with a view of the bulky Selimiye Mosque. The resident cat population adds entertainment and unbearable cuteness to the dining experience.
