Hünkâr
A family Ottoman lokanta in Nişantaşı since 1950, hünkarbeğendi read off the counter
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed July 2026
Hünkâr has cooked Ottoman home food in Nişantaşı for more than seven decades, still in the family and still doing the old repertoire: hünkarbeğendi, olive-oil vegetables, slow güveç. The room is understated and the service unhurried; it is an institution that never turned into a show, the kind of Ottoman lokanta İstanbul has fewer of every year.
Editor's Tip
Order the hünkarbeğendi it is named for, and the olive-oil vegetables off the counter; lunch is the calmer, truer service.
