Time Out Istanbul

"Along with rakı, make sure you keep plenty of topik (a mezze made of chickpeas, potatoes, onion and tahini) on your table."

Liesl Schillinger

"We delved into the house specialty, topik, a sweet and savory Armenian chickpea dish that has the smooth-grained, dense texture of halvah. Dotted with raisins and tahini, it melted on the tongue."

Rucha Wankhede

"Try Topik here."

Ansel Mullins

"Topik, often more filling than flavorful, is usually not our favorite meze. But Cavit’s version, served as creamy little chickpea cakes generously doused with cinnamon, defies topik-ness."
