Dubb Kebab

Sultanahmet


Part of a small local chain, this is a convenient place to grab a pide or kebap en route between the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. The open kitchen and decor of colourful slats create a pleasingly contemporary feel, but the service can be lacking at busy times. The three-course set menu (soup, main course, dessert) is good value.
