[@fredyair1]

The full breakfast is great but kibbeh is my favorite individual food from Türkiye.

[@EE-hi4re]

Can you please let us know the most authentic Turkish restaurant closest to the Istanbul Airport (for breakfast, lunch, and dinner). I'll be traveling there in 2 weeks and I'll be staying in the hotel connected to the airport. I want to stay near the airport on the first day. Thank you.

[@EE-hi4re]

Also, can you please share a caffeineted beverage that contains dairy? I noticed that Turkish chai and knave typically don't contain dairy, but I like my coffee and black tea with heavy cream, half n half, or milk. Or would I just ask for an American coffee?

[@bnahstee]

The best Istanbul food guide I've seen. Period. I've been a big fan/recommender of 'Eat Like A Local' in CDMX for a long time and to realize there was a connection made perfect sense. :)

[@annaaigner9812]

Hello! I just returned from a trip to Istanbul and your videos were wonderful prep for the trip. We tried all of your recomendations for food and they were all spot on. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas!

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Glad you like them!

[@mahboobhussain2312]

Was food expensive

[@sogolsweden4210]

Me and my partner went to almost all your food stops and not only did it make our trip so lovely in terms of putting us in touch with local foods, it was tremendously delicious! You are the best- thank you!

[@havingalook2]

I LOVED the video. You should work for the Turkish Tourist Board as you would inspire anyone to the lovely country. I would, one day LOVE to visit and eat all these lovely foods. Thank you for this wonderful glimpse into Turkish food.

[@brookesanders1621]

I'm loving your videos! I'm visiting Turkiey in May. I can't wait 🩷

[@jimhearsonwriter]

I'm going to Istanbul next week, so I'll certainly try to sample some of these!

[@Reeenald]

This is one of the most complete videos ever, has more awesome content than the 10 previous I watched and without all the super exagerated comments, just plain and simple ! Love it. This video should be the top search !

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Thank you!!! Yes! You’d never see me making weird faces or weird noises while tasting something hahahah, just what it is, that’s it. Glad you found this video useful! ❤️🥳

[@bvtiger33]

Bery Thank You so much! I am using your restaurant guide to do a self-guided food tour from Taksim Square to Galata Tower. Currently sitting in Lades Menemen and about to head across the street for Durum. I also have used Airlo and it is the best! I have made a note that next time I come to Istanbul, the first thing I will do is book is your tour!

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

That is so nice!! Enjoy your time here and the foods 🤤 Let us know what was your favorite and if you discovered any new spots that you liked also you can shared them, I can also pay them a visit to try them out if I haven’t 🎉 It would be a pleasure for us to show you more of the city next time you come 🇹🇷

[@cindymarin4393]

Bery, could you please suggest the best place to eat Kunefe? I will go to Istanbul in 3 weeks and that's the food I am most excited to try

[@TheAliavas]

Try " Etiler Kebapcı " for Kunefe, one of the best i have had i Istanbul... also best lahmacun and Kestane Kebap (Lamb Shish Kebap) you can have....best price quality ratio restaurant

[@Be.Realistic]

Your videos are so informative! Thank you so much for posting such detailed videos❤

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Glad you like them!

[@iwasntcrazyiwasdivine]

[@pirdop]

12:25 Which type of menemen did you have? It looks so delicious 🤤🤤🤤 I have tried some in Istanbul, but they were kind of sour. I am used to bulgarian version "mish-mash" and we put a little of sugar because of the tomatoes.

[@TravelBaMa]

Great to see Turkey

[@user-sw7tj1nl9h]

Best kokorec is in uskudar- salacak kokorec. Its a very small and cozy place, but after trying kokorec there, the other ones do not look appealing at all! Hope u can try and include maybe in your next video! Thanks for your recommendations!

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Thanks for the tips!

[@kamrulhuda6976]

Wonderful and mind blowing ❤❤❤ it and support.

[@swissfoodie3542]

I have just discovered your channel, and like it very much. I was in Türkye in 2021 and plan to return this autumn, so your tipps come very handy. About the food: I dont eat meat, so a lot of the dishes you showed in this video, are not really for me (but I still enjoyed seeing them). I am a fan of menemen, and also like pide, gözleme and soups (especially jogurt or lentil soups) a lot. You didnt cover any fish dishes (I love fish and seafood) :-(. I particularly like hamsi, we had it almost every night in a restaurant on the galata bridge. We also had an amazing sea bass fresh from the market in Kadiköy (where I also enjoyed the "pickle juice").

[@georginabudin4002]

Hello! Also vegetarian here! Can you please recomment me these places where you ate in Turkey veggie-friendly? Would greatly appreciate! Thanks!!

[@africanqueenbee]

Which restaurant do you suggest for hamsi?

[@leventguven5143]

Thanks for a great video. 👏🙇‍♂️😊

[@aditicreatives]

Hi, please let us know which place have you tried Dessert Kunefe .. Cn't wait to have it.

[@sanjivkeskar2547]

Very good informative video.

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rosya.traveler4269]

Could you please add the name of the places on your description? I am planning on visiting Turkey soon, in sha Allah and would really like to try some of these places.

[@noface_777]

Hi Bery, I'm really interested in purchasing your guides on Thatch to support ya. I have a few questions and I don't see anywhere to ask them on Thatch. Hopefully you can answer them here on KZbin, or let me know a better location to communicate. Questions: 1. Best Value Turkey Bundle $40, posted 7 months ago. Does it include all the updated/recent guides you've posted like the "Restaurants in Istanbul + Eat Like a Local" that was posted 2 months ago? 2. Best Value Bundle $40. Is the information in this guide updated on the regular and still apply in 2024? 3. Are there a rough estimate on the cost/budget within the guides? 4. Will there be a contact information after purchasing to ask questions / get support regarding the guides? Thanks!

[@markshaw1966]

They all look yummy

[@Allyourbase1990]
