A Special Spot in Sirkeci - Guvec Konyalı

How about a classic, dear friends? This place fill us with happiness whenever we visit.
Güvenç Konyalı may not be the most eye-catching place in Sirkeci. It can even be said that it looks like an ordinary kebab spot. But for those who know, it is one of Istanbul's most special corners.

Konya cuisine didn’t lose its color in Istanbul. Even though they are represented by a certain number of restaurants, Konya people didn’t allow their delicious dishes to degenerate - thankfully yet. I have not been able to taste this cuisine in Konya yet, but their effort to protect their quality in Istanbul is admirable. You always know that you will find the same ingredient quality and expert cooks in Güvenç Konyalı.

I prefer to start with Okra Soup here. Okra is a vegetable I especially like and I am looking for. Here they do it in the right way. If you say "I'm looking for a place to make me love Okra", this might be it.

Etli Ekmek is the most famous dish of Konya cuisine. Fame is not without basis. I’m from Adana and I don’t really like Lahmacuns that I eat in Istanbul. But I prefer Etli Ekmek when I feel I need Lahmacun. Fatty texture, Meat and Dough come together beautifully. In addition to Etli Ekmek, Mevlana which has cheese as well, is also so good.

The skill of using the Cheese on Pita is also terrific. Küflü Peynirli Pide (Moldy Cheese Pita) is a mature taste and touches our pleasure stimuli. When you taste this, you will feel you learned something new.

You will also notice their shows of Fırın Kebab on their Instagram account. They use very good Meat, very well-prepared, very well-cooked. These kebabs, which leave the bones without the need for a blade, will be remembered. Try both Kaburga and İncik.

I prefer Sacarası as dessert. It's a thing we're used to. Very Thin Dough, Sherbet, Butter and Walnut. But it’s unusually light. This is why he earns our appreciation. As Doymak Yok we’re not looking for a cheap price but we want to get what we paid for. Güvenç Konyalı presents one of the most advantageous economic offers you will find in Istanbul. Their prices are on the same level as the modest restaurants in the vicinity, but they are far above in tastes. So it’s among the stops we like to remember. A special value of Istanbul.
