Temel Reis Akçaabat Köftecisi

Yep, this place is across the street from my house so I’m glad we finally tried it out. I had a lovely vegetable pide dish, which was soft and yummy. It was shaped like a pizza more than a pide, which was a nice surprise. They even sliced it like a pizza. Niiice! The boyfriend & I also shared a salad, which was standard. The gentlemen there are so friendly that they even gave us a small (free) desert.
The place is usually pretty empty, but the owners explained that they had been there for many years and never worried too much. The neighborhood is old and the people even older probably, so it’s not as if there are a steady stream of tourists or young couples like us mulling about looking for a good kofte place. For that reason, I highly recommend giving them a try if you’re in the area. There’s nothing else around anyway! :)
