situated in the eminonu area,close to the spice market and the bospurus ferry quay hamdi is situated on 3 floors, the ground floor seating spills onto the pavement and can be a bit noisy so we chose the top floor as it gave us a really lovely panoramic view of the bospurus and area around, our local guide suggested this place as it was well known for the local foods.the ambience was warm and busy with tourists and well heeled local young business types, service was fast and efficient and our waiter gave us some good suggestions, the starter was with a cool glass of ayran (like the indian lassi) and was really refreshing, the doners,mixed salad kuzu siskebap(not as spicy as the indian ones).,the kucuk(small) spesiyal lahmacun which was excellent( a turkish pizza),a great meal followed by a few scoops of dondurma and ending with a glass of turki chai. a very satisfying meal well worth the value, strongly suggest this place.
