| Last reviewed: Mar 2026 Aheste, meaning 'slowly' in Persian, embodies an unhurried approach to modern Turkish mezze and Middle Eastern cuisine on Mesrutiyet Caddesi in Beyoğlu. The vaulted-ceiling dining room sets a romantic tone, while the kitchen delivers tasting menus and a la carte options with vegetarian menus standing on their own merit. Michelin Bib Gourmand recognized.
Editor's Tip
The name means 'slowly' in Persian, and that's how you should approach the experience. Weekend brunch is excellent.
