Pandeli Lokantasi
Eminönü (immediately inside the entrance to the Egyptian Bazaar) Cuisines: ArabicAbout
Pandeli is one of those neighborhood traditions that lives on more for its location and longevity than for anything particularly outstanding about the food. Pandeli was opened in 1901 by a Greek of Turkish descent and has become a local institution ever since its arrival on the upper level of the Egyptian Spice Bazaar. It's a popular place among businessmen on expense accounts as well as for bazaar shoppers looking for a place to eat. If you nab a table in the main room facing the ancient blue Iznik tiles and windows overlooking the bazaar, you can watch the human traffic come and go.
