Sanayi Lokantası

Rapid gentrification in Istanbul has driven many artists and musicians out into the industrial suburbs of Maslak, and now new venues are cropping up to attract the area’s changing crowd. With its welcoming atmosphere and friendly greeting, Sanayi Lokantası is the right place at the right time. The tables are always full with a lunchtime crowd enjoying its signature dishes – traditional home-cooked Turkish fare such as hünkâr beğendiand rarer specialties like apple-celery soup – from the open buffet. The menu changes daily but the food is always fresh, cheap (3-14 TL), hearty and delicious.
