"Become a Morning Person A proper Turkish kahvalti (breakfast)spreadshould cover the table withsmall, colorful dishes, including assorted cheeses, fresh tomatoes and cucumber, cured olives, and many varieties of jams and spreads. A proper Kurdish breakfast will be enjoyed at leisure and possibly not first thing in the morning. Van Kahvalti Evi serves both traditional Turkish and Kurdish breakfast dishes from Van (a Kurdish town in eastern Turkey) all day, with plenty of glasses of hot tea. Try menemen : scrambled eggs with tomatoes, peppers, and onions, or savory gözleme (flatbread) filled with cheese and potato. Be sure to save room for a side of kaymak (clotted cream), to be enjoyed spread on bread and drizzled with honey. It's enough to make anyone a morning person, or at least a breakfast person."

"A traditional Turkish breakfast spot offering a selection of salty white cheeses, hard-boiled eggs, muhammara, bal-kaymak, and a basket of warm bread that the waiters will keep refilling despite your protests."

Great experience eating here, first of all you just try the Turkish breakfast it is delicious and you get complimentary tea unlimited. The staff are attentive and professional. The whole atmosphere is very friendly. We came a second time for the Turkish sausage menemen which was equally as delicious. Highly recommended!

MUST TRY!!!! We found this restaurant from reviews on Google Maps. This restaurant has better prices than any other, it's worth it. The food tastes great. I like the butter and honey that the staff at the restaurant recommended. They are really kind and lovely.

This breakfast café is one of my highlights of Istanbul. Everything is cool about this place, including the huge and tasty breakfast, great service, nice people, wonderful neighborhood, and trendy atmosphere. Prices are affordable even for the middle class Turks the place is a little off the main street, but it is definitely worth a visit if you wanna eat like a contemporary Turk. There is a huge variety of traditional Turkish breakfasts. You can order a whole set for 400 per person or go for each individual dish like an omelette separately. It has a toilet and they accept cards.

Great range of set breakfasts, we had a couple of sets with some spinach gozleme and menemen eggs. Gets quite busy as a lot of people have been checking maps 🤣. Prices lower than other breakfast places

Authentic Turkish breakfast. We loved the service and ambience as the owner and waitresses were super friendly, they would explain each ingredient or dishes when asked. Price was also reasonable and does not feel like a scam like most other tourist places. We loved the milk curd paired with honey comb. They also provided unlimited cay refill here.

Amazing but usually crowded place. We had a main dish which cost 900 TRY for 2 people with unlimited tea, which is a great deal for so much food. Waiters were nice and took care of us the whole time. It always took them less than 1 minute to refill the tea. We will definitely come back again!
