Description

The Sultanahmet neighbourhood is known for all its tourist restaurants, where menus consist of photographs of dishes. In that respect it's no different at the rustic-style Khorasani, but what sets this grill restaurant apart is the chef's dedication to quality. The meat, barbecued to order, and the kebabs are second to none. We thoroughly enjoyed the kebab with succulent lamb, crisp vegetables and, of course, the wonderful pita bread that comes with it. For flavoursome food with no nonsense, Khorasani is the place.

Review summary

Located in Istanbul's Sultanahmet district, Khorasani specializes in traditional cuisine and grills. Positive reviews highlight delicious food, particularly recommending the traditional lamb, steak, and saffron sea bass. The atmosphere is described as warm, with helpful misting systems during hot days. Service is frequently praised, with staff members like Sego and David noted for being attentive and friendly. However, negative feedback points to issues with value for money, citing high prices relative to portions. Some guests reported poor meal pacing, bland vegetables, and aggressive upselling tactics. While a few reviewers disputed the restaurant's Michelin claims, the overall rating remains high at 4.5/5 based on 80 reviews. It offers a mix of genuine culinary enjoyment and mixed service experiences.
