Tasting Notes
Vedat Usta Döner & Kebap is on the first floor of İstinyePark, on the terrace level, and is the Istanbul branch of a restaurant that started in İzmir.
Döner by the gram
Döner is listed in portions of 100, 150, 200, 300 and 400 g, both plain and over rice. The kebab list has the house zırh kebab, mini steak, küşleme, lamb şiş, söğürme kebab and haşhaş kebab. Aubergine and keme (desert truffle) kebabs are seasonal.
Starters and dessert
Starters include Urfa lahmacun, içli köfte, rice and chips, and cold dishes such as bostane, hummus, atom and dry cacık. Desserts are havuç dilim baklava, ice cream and Münver tatlısı.
“For a group, share a large döner portion and start with the lahmacun and içli köfte; ask whether the seasonal kebabs are available that day.”
