Kallavi Sokak 20 (off Istiklal Caddesi) Cuisines: European, ArabicAbout
No reservation, no dinner - those are the rules. This place consists of two dining rooms facing each other across a narrow alley in downtown Beyoglu. The overall decor is minimalist and uncluttered, making it easier to push the tables against the walls late in the evening to create a makeshift dance floor. The set menu is excellent and bountiful: just when you think you can't swallow another morsel, yet another course arrives at your table. The price also includes as much as wine or Raki as you can handle. A troupe of Roma musicians comes to play loud and rousing folk music most nights. It's not unknown for the clientele to abandon the food and tables and hit the streets to sing and dance until closing time!
