Adana, tavuk şiş, köfte or mixed grill: discover the Turkish grill dishes on the Beyoğlu menu.
Grill dishes form an extensive part of the Beyoğlu menu. There are dishes made with seasoned minced lamb, marinated chicken and different cuts of lamb. You can choose one favourite or taste several preparations together.
Because the menu offers many possibilities, it helps to know what the names mean before you order. Below, we explain several dishes exactly as they appear on our menu.
Adana, şiş and köfte: what is the difference?
Adana is spicy seasoned minced lamb served on a skewer. If you prefer pieces of meat on a skewer, the menu includes tavuk şiş with marinated chicken and kuzu şiş with marinated lamb. Köfte consists of seasoned minced-lamb meatballs.
There are also marinated chicken thigh fillet, chicken wings, lamb cutlets and lamb ribs. Within the same section, you can therefore choose between chicken, minced meat or cuts of lamb.
Dishes with bread, yoghurt and aubergine
Several grill dishes combine the meat with other flavours and textures. Beğendili köfte is served on aubergine purée with tomato sauce. Adana iskender places seasoned minced lamb on toasted bread with yoghurt and tomato sauce. Beyti consists of seasoned minced lamb wrapped in pastry, also served with tomato sauce and aubergine purée.
These dishes are a good choice when you would like not only grilled meat, but also sauce, bread or a vegetable preparation on the same plate.
Trying different grill dishes together
If you would rather not choose a single preparation, the menu offers karışık ızgara: a mix of five types of meat. The Beyoğlu Special is also available for two. These shared choices work well for a table that begins with meze and then continues eating together.
When dining with several people, everyone can of course order a different grill dish and taste them together at the table. Please call ahead for a larger group so that we can take the table size into account.
From the pan and the oven too
Not everyone at the table has to choose a grill dish. The menu also includes pan dishes such as tavuk sote and fajita, and oven-baked güveç with lamb, chicken or vegetables. There are fish dishes, steaks, burgers and pasta as well, making it easy to dine with a group whose tastes differ.
