Istanbul is a street food lover’s paradise. The street food of Istanbul is diverse and delicious, made with fresh ingredients and served from carts, peddlers, stands on street corners, street vendors, or restaurants across the city. From döner kebab to lahmacun, street food in Istanbul is an experience that can’t be missed!
Döner is one of the most well-known Turkish foods in the world. Pieces of meat are seasoned with suet, local herbs, and spices, skewered on a spit and grilled vertically, served as dürüm (wrap) or as a sandwich. Originally the meat used for döner kebap was lamb. Today, it is made using a mixture of lamb and beef, only beef, or even only chicken.
Baklava is a very old pastry. Many ethnic groups with ancestry going back to the Middle East claim the origin of this luscious pastry. The historical documentation is not solid, yet there is strong evidence that its origin comes from Central Asian Turkic tribes.

It is also known that during the Ottoman Empire, in the imperial kitchens of Topkapi Palace, the current form was developed. And later, in the late 19th century, small pastry shops were opened in Istanbul and the provincial capitals.
The lokanta serves a very particular clientele whose needs are that of a quick and easy meal at a reasonable price. Sort of like the Turkish fast food, all the meals in a lokanta are pre-made and dished onto a plate to order. The food is held in steam trays which means it is not particularly hot. On the other hand, the norm in Turkey is to serve food luke-warm rather than boiling hot.

Foods in a lokanta are normally soup, rice, pasta, stews, kurufasulye stuffed peppers and eggplants, döner, broiled chicken, and köfte,

A great advantage to eating at one of these establishments is the point and choose method of picking out a meal.
