Istanbul flavors from each region as a meeting point in Turkey offers a combination. Although the cuisine culture of the city changes according to the periods, some tastes have always maintained their popularity. In the last 20 years in Istanbul, kebab restaurants and restaurants unique to the Southeastern Anatolia region have become very popular. Urban cuisine varies between regions.
The fact that the phenomenon called Istanbul culture has been replaced by Anatolian culture has narrowed the boundaries of Istanbul culture and has also affected the cuisine. However, if there is an advantage in this, it is that all the flavors of Turkish cuisine are presented together.
In addition, restaurants from Asian and European cuisine take their place in the city, especially Greece, China and France. As an influence of American culture, fast food has become widespread significantly in recent years. So much so that fast-food shops selling products such as burgers, pizza, lahmacun, wraps, sandwiches, toast and hot dogs can be seen on the streets of Istanbul.
