Great kebabs!
Delicious, fast, plentiful, inexpensive and sparsely populated.
The cafe is hidden in one of the many alleys next to Istiklal. We found it by accident: passing by, we looked into the plates of the guests who were sitting on the street (yes, that's so uncivilized). I was interested in the large, beautiful portions. Then we looked at the maps, and it turned out to be a well-known place. The next day we came here for lunch. And we were delighted!
Since then, we have been visiting Mangal Keyfi on every trip to Istanbul.
What to try?
I recommend Urfa kebab, lentil soup, durume with chicken and durume with beef. The portions are impressive. And in addition to them, as a compliment, you will be treated to tortillas and a snack or choban salad. Choban is a shepherd's salad made from finely chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and herbs. In Turkey, it is traditionally served with all kebabs and grills.
The prices are average. A kebab costs 420 lire, a durum costs 210.
The service is unobtrusive. You'll be lucky if you're served by an adult waiter (perhaps the owner). He is very friendly and attentive.
We have never found a full landing in the establishment. There are always places.
If you get tired of the noisy Istiklal and want to have a nice meal in peace, go here.

It's a lovely, small and cozy place.
The food is delicious and very fast. We ordered kebabs and soup. Everything is just fine. The price tag is humane.
And old rock is also playing.
I strongly recommend it, if you want to have a delicious meal, come and you won't regret it.

Good location, reasonable prices. The service is good, the food is delivered in 10 minutes. We ordered 2 kebabs, salad, tea, snacks and tortillas as a gift. It is very satisfying and delicious. They ate too much, gave 800 lire for everything on daoih.

It is very budget-friendly for Istanbul (thank God, at least somewhere).
About 600 lire for two: kebab, salad, soup.
The dishes can be divided into two, the portions are large. A snack is brought for free, a portion for two or three, and tortillas.
The soup and salad are delicious, the food is fresh. Opinions were divided on the meat: it was very spicy for me, my husband said that everything was done properly.
They cook quickly, the tables are clean, the sofas are modern.

I found this place according to reviews on my first evening in Istanbul and then returned here several times. For the first time, I took for granted really delicious food and pleasant prices without cheating, but after they brought me spoiled grilled tomatoes for a large price in one restaurant, deciding that this would help them; in another they tried to cheat; somewhere they simply included a fee for "service" in the receipt; I returned here with a big with pleasure.
They do their job just fine here and there are always visitors inside, often locals. Therefore, there is no barker outside.
Fast service, fast delivery, the food is always fresh and very tasty, even snacks that are usually prepared in advance and waiting for the visitor. I will also separately note the attractive atmosphere - the street is located in a secluded place, the noise of the Istiklal is not heard on it. Famous hits of the 80s and 90s are playing unobtrusively, the interior is without kitsch and flashy decor, a lot of wooden elements.
I also really liked the ayran with a thick foam cap!

A lively place with a good kitchen. Usually they take sandwiches in lavash here, but the main meat dishes are also good.

We chose meat dishes: they included a side dish, 4 servings of vegetable snacks, bread. Cafes are for locals, so they cook very hearty and tasty for little money. There is a card payment. I recommend

Excellent cuisine! The kebab is just bombastic! For a little money, you can eat your fill. We ordered two portions of kebab for three people, we had to ask them to wrap one with us. The portions are clearly not designed for one person)
