In my earlier blog I had mention it was THE ultimate Street food spot in Istanbul. (If you missed that blog about Taksim, Midye Dolma-Kestane-Mısır >>> http://istanbulfoodies.weebly.com/midye-
dolma-kestane-and-m305s305r) We are back to Taksim, this time for Döner. As you walk into Istiklal
Street you will notice a crowd that is hard to avoid. Right in front of these Döner stores on your left side.

It is true that these stores are famous for their Islak Hamburger (Sauced Hamburger) but Döner is also as good here. On thing is for sure there is always big chunk of meat in their skewer and demand for it is 24/7. Their stores are no larger than ten square meters but it is speculated that in going money for getting a store here is starting from USD 2 million just to give you idea for the demand for it. Within steps from these store there are fast food giants Burger King, McDonalds, and Subway. Frankly, Döner is so good they are not even a competition! |
