Şen Kardeşler Lokantası
That a restaurant has been open since 1965 tells you everything you need to know. Şen Kardeşler in Kağıthane is an esnaf lokanta that has been serving for nearly sixty years.
The daily home-style dishes are delicious, the döner is very good, and the Kayseri yağlama that appears three days a week is ambitious. At lunchtime you'll struggle a little to find a table, but a wait of five minutes at most is worth it.
If you're in the area, Şen Kardeşler is an address you can drop into with confidence.
