This place serves exquisite Turkish dishes at the beautiful Spice Market at Eminonu. Situated at the end of the Spice market's alley, it is definitely a great place to relax with a cup of Ayran and Kebap or just a simple Chai (tea). To make this place more memorable, it was my first time tasting the "Ayran". Ayran (yoghurt drink) is a beverage that Turks' drink along with a Kebap. Ayran is a mixture of yoghurt, water and salt. 
This drink has been one of the most popular drinks of the Turks
since the discovery of Yogurt among the Turkish tribes in Central Asia and it is best served chilled. It not only accompanies any meal but is drunk as a refreshing drink
by itself especially during summer months. It is common among all regions of the
country only the slight
variation being its thickness. Especially in the south,
for example, thicker Ayran is preferred.
Be sure to try this unique beverage once you go to Istanbul!
