Flavour

Our Guiding
Values
Since 1920, we have continued our journey with an unwavering belief passed down through four generations.
From day one, we’ve known that the secret to perfect köfte is using the finest, most natural, and healthiest ingredients — and we work to pass this flavor legacy to future generations.
Our mastery has been shaped by our master chefs’ philosophy, and it has remained unchanged since 1920.
Sultanahmet Flavors

Our köfte — discovered in 1920 — is served without any spices, made only with 100% beef, bread, onion, and salt, and prepared with the same uncompromising commitment to flavor we have upheld for over a century.

Tender lamb shesh kebap made from 100% lamb, free from additives, and grilled to perfection for a rich, smoky flavor.

A delicious start with our rich and flavorful lentil soup — a warm, comforting classic to begin your meal.

The perfect companion to our historic Sultanahmet Köfte — bean salad, a distinctive salad made with specially sourced beans, gently boiled and tossed with onion, crisp lettuce, and seasonal touches of either tomato or carrot, all brought together for a fresh, vibrant flavor.

Alongside our signature Sultanahmet Köfte, we serve pilaf — a beloved staple of Turkish cuisine — prepared with natural rice and enriched with vermicelli for a comforting, authentic taste.

For a sweet finale, semolina halvah — one of the most delightful desserts in Turkish cuisine, rich, fragrant, and perfectly comforting.
