Tasting Notes
Filizler Köftecisi dates from 1994. This branch is at Harem Sahil Yolu Caddesi 61 in the Salacak district of Üsküdar.
Köfte and grills
The köfte list has the 4-piece and 6-piece Filizler plates, a Filizburger, kasap köfte, köfte with kaşar cheese and spicy köfte. Grills include Adana and Urfa kebab, lamb chops, veal chops and a mixed grill, and there are steak and chicken fajitas and three Caesar salads.
Breakfast, starters and dessert
Breakfast is a serpme spread or one of three set plates, Akdeniz (Mediterranean), İstanbul and Üsküdar. Soups, pastries and olive-oil dishes sit between the starters and the mains, and desserts include künefe with pistachio, clotted cream or ice cream, semolina halva and tiramisu.
“Order the 6-piece Filizler plate and finish with the pistachio künefe.”
