Beyti
Legendary 1945 institution, inventor of the Beyti kebab
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed May 2026
Founded in 1945 by Beyti Guler in Kucukcekmece and relocated to Florya in 1983, Beyti is a living legend with 500 seats across 11 dining halls decorated with Ottoman tiles and Persian rugs. The famous Beyti kebab - lamb back strap marinated in onion juice, vinegar, and olive oil for days - bears little resemblance to street versions. A member of Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, this Michelin-recognized institution has hosted countless heads of state and celebrities.
Editor's Tip
