Çiya Sofrasi

Frommer's Review

This humble eatery, whose kitchen is headed by Musa Dagdeviren, formerly of the California branch of the Culinary Institute of America, has become an international phenomenon. It's located up a busy market street near the Kadiköy ferry stop (on the Asian side; take the ferry to Kadiköy from Eminönü) and serves delectable and rare regional creations. The chef was listed in Saveur's favorite 100 in the 2006 edition, while the restaurant has been featured in the New York Times and Zagat Survey's Europe's Best Restaurants. Çiya also has an annex up the street serving only kebaps.
