Istanbul, Turkey Cuisines: Authentic Local, American, French

About

A series of stalls right at the corner of Taksim Square and Istiklal Avenue are renowned for their unique heavily spicy burgers, much smaller than the American variety. While Kızılkayalar Burger [9] is the locals' favourite, as it's the oldest one and known as the "inventor" of the spicy burgers, all stalls, which are open 24-hr and serve both as a sit-in and take-out, offer basically the same stuff—döner, french fries, toasts, various cold and hot snacks, freshly squeezed juices, as well as canned soft drinks, and ayran. Spicy burgers make for a great snack after a night-long binge drinking, but keep in mind that garlic smell afterwards can be overpowering.
