Why dine here
Operating continuously since 1888, Hacı Abdullah maintains a rotating menu of over 500 historic recipes with at least 150 prepared fresh each day in its large Beyoğlu hall.
What to expect
Standout offerings include hünkar beğendi, various olive-oil mezes, stuffed vegetables, and traditional desserts; the venue serves no alcohol and follows the standard halal baseline for Turkish meat.
Before you go
The 650-seat capacity and central location on a side street off İstiklal make it convenient for groups or extended family meals after shopping or sightseeing in Taksim.
Good to know
Trade-off: high volume means service can feel brisk during peak hours; reservations advised for larger parties.
