Kandilli, Üsküdar

A Bosphorus-facing restaurant in Adile Sultan Palace that scales a traditional repertoire to large tables and occasions. The menu keeps a clear classic turkish and ottoman focus while food and setting work as one; this venue earns its place through a complete experience, not reputation alone.
