Arjantin Pide & Kebap

Moderate to large neighborhood restaurant is popular for midday meals whether it’s during the week or weekend. Choose your own table. There’s plenty of natural light from the windows. There’s a moving water sculpture /​fountain near the main entrance on 36 Caddesi.
Menu features standard Turkish fare. Sometimes the mixed grilled vegetables plate is free — but the cold, shredded vegetable salad usually is. I actually prefer the kiremitte kofte over the Adana kebap… I’ve never had a meal I didn’t like, here. Slightly more expensive than other restaurants but on par for the (upper middle class) residents and the quality of the food.
Friendly service with waiters /​waitresses as young as early US high school age. If you carefully observe, you can tell the hierarchy even reflected in the uniform — not only the anxiety and verbal direction.
