   Cicek Pasaji

   A variety of savory specialties, freshly prepared street bites, and comforting homemade classics. One highlight is gözleme—a traditional Turkish flatbread, hand-rolled, filled with ingredients like cheese or spinach, and cooked on a hot griddle. Watch it being prepared right before your eyes, then enjoy it warm, crispy, and comforting, just as it has been made in homes and markets for generations.

   Another must-try is midye dolma—plump mussels stuffed with fragrant spiced rice, served straight from the street vendor. Locals eat them standing, one by one, finished with a generous squeeze of lemon—fresh, tangy, and full of flavor in every bite.
