Chef Eyad in Istanbul

Chef Eyad Istanbul runs two restaurants, the brand's entire Turkish presence. Istanbul is a sourcing city as much as a trading one: local beef lets the kitchens push heavier cuts and longer smokes than most other markets, so whole short rib and smoked lamb shoulder appear more often here. Both rooms are built around a visible smoker, and both run a service that stretches late into the night. If you want a smoked meat restaurant in Istanbul with an actual wood fire rather than a gas grill, these are the two. Addresses, directions, phone numbers, opening hours and reservations are listed below.
