"If you decide to spend a day or half-day shopping in Nişantaşı, consider taking a break and eating at Hünkar, one of the city's best lokantas. Try the delicious fried zucchini fritters known as mücver."
"You should especially taste its lentil soup."
"This is not just a must-eat at Hünkar, but on earth."
"This one has exactly the same taste of my grandma’s. Gives me a moment of yearn and reminds me how I love her and her food whenever I get a bite."

The ground beef gets freshened up with all the parsley in it while still keeping its umami explosion at the same level. Hünkar is the right place to experience traditional Turkish cuisine, exquisitely prepared with high-quality ingredients."
