The elegant kebab restaurant Köşebaşı can be found in two locations in the city, in a typical Levent home with a garden, and in Kurukahveciler Köşkü on the Asian side. The restaurant sets itself apart from other kebab restaurants with its primarily timber, stylish décor. Chosen by Time magazine as Istanbul’s best kebab restaurant, and one of the world’s 50 best restaurants by Conde Nast Traveller, Köşebaşı serves dishes from Adana and Tarsus.
Preparing their food according to traditional recipes, Köşebaşı’s ‘çöp şiş’ (small cubes of grilled meat on a skewer) is mouth-watering. We recommend eating it with the Toros salad made of arugula, mint and other greens and herbs. Here you won’t find the standard mezze plates served at other kebab restaurants. The mezzes are special and limited in number; our favourite is the aubergine salad. These kebabs and mezzes can be enjoyed in the restaurant’s branch in Reina, open from 19.00-01.00. Köşebaşı’s Maslak Mudo Concept, Ataşehir and Kavacık branches all offer home delivery. Köşebaşı restaurants are also open in Ankara, İzmir, Bodrum and even Greece and Brazil.
