Sahibü'l Çay Âsaf Osman Efendi

The First thing you should get used to about Turkish culture is the inseparable part of the Tea in Turkish beverage family.


When you visit some store, the sellers may ask you for a cup of tea. Plus, after your eating the waiter probably bring a tea for each one of your group.

Of course, there are some places, that you can taste the best versions of turkish black tea. Sahibü'l Çay Âsaf Osman Efendi is one of them

If you want to spend an hour for drinking your tea, in a unique ambiance with soft music, I strongly suggest you to visit there.

Filizler Koftecisi

Istanbul has a beautiful landscape but there are few restaurants that you can enjoy this view with affordable prices. Filizler Koftecisi is one of them.



The main dish of the restaurant is Köfte (Meatball) is chef's plate and the taste is really good. Here is a standard portion of Meatball.

And of course you need a beverage with your food. My suggestion is Ayran. They have a special recipe for the Ayran and you will love it.
