Tasting Notes
Ekspres İnegöl Köftecisi has been serving on Muvakkıthane Caddesi in Kadıköy since 1963. Its open grill and compact dining room reflect the quick pace of a traditional market-side restaurant.
İnegöl köfte from the charcoal grill
The menu centres on İnegöl-style köfte and a version with kaşar cheese. Other grill options include chicken and lamb skewers and sliced beef. Köfte is also available in a sandwich.
Sides and dessert
Sides include piyaz, green and shepherd’s salads, cacık, chips and yoghurt. The dessert list features Kemalpaşa and tel kadayıf finished with a milk-based syrup.
“Order the İnegöl köfte with piyaz and house-made chips, then try the milk-syrup tel kadayıf.”
