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.
