Starters
You can find a wide variety of starters in Istanbul restaurants. In addition to classics like bread and butter, there are also delicious appetizer options enriched with spices. Appetizers such as artichokes with olive oil, spicy paste, and hummus are among the indispensable items on the table. However, small portions of lahmacun called “hazelnut-sized lahmacun” and special delicacies such as stuffed meatballs are also served as starters in restaurants.
