A great place to taste Balik Ekmek (mackerel in lavash) in Istanbul.🔥🐟
It looks modest, but it is a very popular point in the city, where there are always long queues. There are several tables outside where you can sit and eat quietly.
It is inexpensive, the service is fast. The fish is really fresh and delicious cooked.
I recommend it!👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Very, very tasty!!!! A tender, juicy fish, without a single bone. A good fried tortilla. Spices in moderation. Sauces are diverse, all harmoniously combined with each other. And in general, the dish is worthy of the attention of fish lovers)))
First. Yandex incorrectly shows the location of this institution. By 50 meters. The smell will lead you to the place!
Here, for 200 lire, you can get well-peeled and fried mackerel in pita bread or a bun. I recommend choosing in lavash.
A young man who understands Russian well is standing at the acceptance of orders. And the address "bro" guarantees a special attitude towards you.
We warn you right away! If you do not tolerate spicy food, first think about whether it is worth ordering this dish.
Either wash it down with a Coke, or ask without pepper and sauce, as we did!
The whole cooking process will be in front of you.
You can take it with you, walk 200 meters and eat with a view of the Bosphorus on the Galataport embankment.
A very popular place . Yes, there is a big queue, the fish in the lavash is cooked with you)
Yes, and it is interesting to taste, but unfortunately this product did not suit us, we felt bad after it. In the following days, I couldn't even pass by because of the smell and aroma of spices.
Therefore , it doesn't seem bad , a popular dish, but as it turned out, it's not mine at all 😢
Great place!!! Very juicy and delicious, mackerel fish in pita bread. The queue is much smaller on weekdays than on weekends. There are other places, the price is cheaper. But here it is already as a symbol of the street!!!
This is the best fish in the lavash of Istanbul! We tried it in several places, compared it to make sure how delicious it is here. Every bite is a journey into a taste orgasm!
The guys work funny, friendly and organized. The queue is sometimes so long and there is nowhere to sit down that the desire to wait disappears. But trust me, it's worth it! Moreover, the service is fast.
I would like to return to Istanbul for the pleasure of this ekmek ballet! The first love happened in 2023. Already in 2024, the second meeting took place, and everything was just as great!!!
Delicious balyk-duryum. I'm not a fan of fish, but it's gone, it's delicious. The building where the institution was originally located in August 2024 is under renovation. To find it, you need to come to the original address and wait for the guide from the institution, who will take you to the right place.
Interesting. It's worth a try, but the place is a little different than on the map. However, a man met us at the corner and escorted us to a cafe near which there was a queue, then doubts were dispelled that we were going somewhere wrong))
It's a cool place. Nearby is a similar restaurant with a high rating in Tripadvisor, which always has a long queue. And in this queue there is much less, but the horse mackerel is as tasty as in that one. A place to visit in Istanbul to understand the "oriental flavor".
A great place that conveys the atmosphere of Istanbul. The friendly host will twist the incomparable mackerel bowl. Spices, sharpness, sourness will complement the taste of fish with new colors. I recommend it for lovers of Oriental cuisine
There are no five points here: badly twisted, falling apart, soy sauce is poured out, heavily peppered, and this veils and suppresses the true taste of mackerel, small size.
I am silent about the price of 200 lire, their money turns into kerenki.
The unique Istanbul flavor, the queue, but fast, very tasty, takes a lot of locals. Nearby there are 3 or 4 more similar places, they are cleaner, more beautiful, but for some reason there are no people, I took 2 pieces, each 120 lira
During the week in Istanbul, we tried many different eateries of different price categories, but this one turned out to be the best! For 120 lire, a delicious shawarma with fish, although I do not like fish. Delicious sour sauce, salad and fish. You can sit inside (there are 3 tables for 4 people each on the 1st floor and there is a 2nd floor, you haven't been there), you can take it with you. We were very satisfied, I recommend it to everyone!
It's not so wow as it was advertised. More expensive than near the bridge. The fish is delicious for those who love mackerel. The sauce is slightly spicy. You can't hide your hunger from one serving.
We visited the most delicious Balyk-duryum in November-early December, there was no queue! The fish was delicious and fresh, the overall combination of fish and vegetables in lavash is unusual, juicy and very satisfying! We definitely recommend you to visit!
Don't stand in line! Walk 30 meters forward!
It was the best food experience of this trip to Istanbul.
I was following a tip to specifically buy the most delicious fish in lavash in Istanbul on the street, but it seemed dirty to me at this place and there was a long queue. I didn't wait and went on. After 30 meters from the desired place, there was ANOTHER one!
There was no queue and we ordered one portion to try... after the first bite, we ordered the second, and the next day we dreamed of coming here again all day. Even while having lunch at a restaurant marked with a red guide who doesn't know where to stick his stars.
And we came, and I strongly advise you - it's amazingly delicious. Go here and enjoy the taste and cooking process. Fried pita bread, a unique set of spices, specially pickled onions and careful work make this dish unsurpassed. Chefs are professionals in their field. Establishments on the Galata Bridge pass by and come here!
June 24 years old. There's nothing at all to queue for. The price is 160 liras for mackerel in lavash. She is normal, but not just delicious, as they write below. The sauce in such dishes decides, but here it was either not there, or a little splashed, just a dryish mackerel with spices and vegetables
The days with Turkish street food are over, Once, in another life, this fish roll cost 160 rubles. Now the fish in the pita bread + Coca Cola is 210 lire, and this is 560 rubles. And so yes, delicious, colorful, treat yourself to your taste buds once :)
Absolutely nothing. The queue is long, you wait a long time (in the evenings). There is no taste, there is no piquancy, just dry mackerel and lettuce leaves in fried pita bread ... in Moscow, any shawarma is a hundred times tastier. The price is 120 lira, almost 400 rubles for a micro tasteless stuff ... for the sake of interest, you can try it. But don't expect anything at all. Buy pomegranate juice better
In Turkey, everything is tasteless except baklava.

Great shop, cool fish in pita bread, very tasty. I will immediately warn you that shawarma with fish is very spicy, for strong stomachs
Guys, it's worth it to stand in line! Very tasty, a combination of fish and spices 🔥 for the first time in my life I tried "shawarma" with fish, although I doubted for a long time, but not that I did not regret it, I wanted to order a second one right away 😅 if you are hungry, take a double one at once. I took a single one because I didn't really want to eat, but it turned out to be so delicious that I could barely restrain myself from ordering the second one.
The shawarma is really very tasty. However, it is very small. The price is 160 liras. We need to stand in a big queue

I read and decided for a long time whether it was worth trying, I was confused by the negative reviews, it turned out to be in vain. Everything in moderation: spices, sauce, salad with pomegranate seeds gave an interesting flavor nuance to fish and lavash. I admit that I was just lucky, but in any case, I recommend it!
A local food that you definitely need to try! No wonder there's always a queue)) Balik durum for 160 liras. We will fix this price for April 24

Balyk durum is very tasty and spicy, the institution has moved for the time of repair, I attach a map of where it is approximately and what it looks like
I didn't understand the rave reviews at all, we stood in line for 30 minutes, and in the end it was very mediocre, the fish was quite fresh. She is caught right there in the Bosphorus

A cool combination of the taste of fish, vegetables and sauce. It can be taken in 3 types: in bread, in pita bread, on a plate. I recommend it in pita bread or on a plate. They cook right in front of you, too, like a mini show, like they clean fish right on the grill and then cook. There is a little place to sit down, most of them take with them in the lavash
