İkonium

I really enjoyed this little Pide Place, the restaurant was really warm and the employees were the same way. The Pide really good, I like how to set up the restaurant to where you can watch the cook make the Pide for you or just be on the other side watching the TV while talking to your friends. The décor was pretty nice also I really enjoyed the brick wall, the seats were really comfortable and even on a cold day with the roof open on one side it was still pretty warm. This isn’t a real big place but it’s cozy and it might be a little hard to find but just keep an eye out for it because I recommend you stopping in here. If you don’t want to come here though this place does deliver and they do have take-​out.

I dont know if I love Ikonium just becuase I am a yabanci (forienger) but I honestly don’t care. This is local place for me and well hidden. They are usually fairly empty so the service is great, as is the presentation! Their long brick oven pide’s are great in taste and feel like you are ordering the house. Their long slow cooked lamb is delicous. Everything about this place I love! Great flavor, good location (right next to the Levent Metro) and they deliver as well. Again, this is a place I find I always bring guests on the first night as their iniation into my Istanbul culinary experience.
