Famous for

Rice Dish, Black Sea Region

Hamsili pilav

Recommended by Matt Preston and 12 other food critics.
"For something a little earthier for lunch, try Hayvore (Turnacibasi Sokak 4, Beyoglu), which specializes in Black Sea dishes. The must-have here is a cute little ‘baked loaf’ of currants, baby borlotti beans and dark, pinenut-studded rice topped with hamsi fillets. Mouthful by mouthful, it is sweet, salty and rich, but never fishy."

Recommendations

"Hayvore's kuru fasulye - Turkey's national dish of dried white beans slowly stewed in tomato sauce - is among Istanbul's best versions."
"Verdict: Hayvore's may well be Istanbul's next Famous Bean."
"Advice: Kuru fasulye."

Mouthful by mouthful, it is sweet, salty and rich, but never fishy."
"Hayvore also serves up a fine version of kuru fasulye, creamy white beans cooked in a rich, buttery red sauce."
"Try the Kuru fasulye bean dish."
"So many wonderful dishes but don’t miss Hamsili Pilav. Ridiculously affordable and maybe the best Turkish food I ate on my trip."
"Of the more casual dining places, Hayvore is well known for serving Black Sea specialities. Once seated, we were invited to go and choose what we wanted. The hamsi pilav was recommended and it was certainly unusual; underneath the anchovies is spiced rice flavored with dill and with sweet currants lurking within. I loved the sweet-savory aspect."
"If you’re filled with the kebabs and want to try out something new and different then having a visit to Hayvore could be enjoyable. They offer typical dishes that are found in the Black Sea region. Special tip: Hamsi Pilavi (Rice with anchovies)."
"It won’t win any ambiance awards, but the welcome is warm and the food delicious at this lokanta just off Istiklal Caddesi. When hamsi is in season, look for the little anchovy fish draped over seasoned rice."
