Kadıköy is where Istanbul comes alive with flavor. On the Asian side of the city, it’s famous for vibrant markets, bustling streets, and legendary food stalls. If you want to taste Istanbul like a local, Kadıköy is the place to be.


On our Istanbul Food Tour with Madine and Asli, you’ll try the city’s most iconic street foods in just one afternoon. Here are seven must-try bites you’ll enjoy:


  • Balık Ekmek – The classic Istanbul fish sandwich, fresh and flavorful by the waterfront.
  • Turşu Juice – A salty, sour, probiotic-rich pickle drink that surprises every visitor.
  • Midye Dolma – Mussels stuffed with spiced rice and herbs, eaten right on the street.
  • Kokoreç – Spiced lamb offal grilled and chopped into bread, an adventurous local favorite.
  • Çiğ Köfte – A spicy, vegetarian-friendly bulgur and pepper paste wrap.
  • Islak Burger – The famous “wet burger,” soaked in garlicky tomato sauce, late-night perfection.
