Fodor's Review:

Need an escape from the carpet salesmen of the Grand Bazaar? This lunch-only spot, in a quiet corner of the sprawling market, offers just that. A large steam table at the front of the restaurant's open kitchen holds a daily assortment of some 25 dishes, including a variety of meat and vegetable stews. The food is homey, well made, and fresh. After you make your selection, waiters in black vests and ties will swiftly bring the food to your table in the impressive 500-year-old dining hall, which has large Ottoman-style blown-glass chandeliers hanging from its vaulted ceilings. It closes at 5 PM.

  • Closed: No dinner, closed Sun.
