Food Trippin' Istanbul: Ikbal

While we are in Bağdat Caddesi, we decided to take our lunch in one of the restaurants on the street. We all chose Ikbal which shows Doner Meat on the windows. We were convinced that the stores served good food and so we dined in there.

The place is small but can fit around twenty to thirty people on the first floor. I think they also have heating upstairs. The waiters quickly accommodates you upon entering the place. They will seat you accordingly and will try their best to communicate with you which is very nice because we are foreigners in the place. The counter shows a lot of pictures of the dishes they have and so we just chose what we like there. The waiter was also kind enough to explain the dishes to us the best he can even though I just half understood it. They also have a menu but the images on the counter is enough for us to decide what to have.

Food Trippin' Istanbul: Günaydın

It is dinner time again in Turkey and we are wanting something greasy. We went to Carrefour Food Court to check out anything that would satisfy our cravings. Yes, again, I am stress eating.

We decided to try out Günaydın. I've seen this restaurant many times on the streets that we roam. I usually notice it for the bright yellowish/orange sign on a black background. They are all over the place and even in Carrefour food court, they have a small branch. Our colleagues ate here during their last day at Istanbul and I was curious because the meal they are having looks very yummy.
