Tasting Notes
Tarihi Konak Kebap is at 2. İmaret Sokak 10 in the Orhanbey quarter, behind the Teyyare Kültür Merkezi.
İskender and pideli köfte
The main list offers İskender in one and one-and-a-half portions, with a version with extra meat, and pideli köfte, grilled meatballs on pide bread, in the same two sizes. The house plate is the Konak Special.
Sides and desserts
Sides are charred aubergine, chips, pickles and sauced pide. Desserts are süt helvası, Kemalpaşa and candied chestnuts.
“Order one İskender and one pideli köfte to compare, add the charred aubergine, and finish with süt helvası.”
