Street food & casual bites in Istanbul

Istanbul is a city where quick meals sit right alongside the main streets. The places below run from international burger chains to Turkish döner and kebab counters, with a few bakery-style and börek stops in between. Some are on the busy pedestrian thoroughfares, others a little further into the old quarters.

The list covers a mix of formats: sit-down restaurants with outdoor tables, takeaway-friendly chains and smaller counters. Where we hold the details, we have noted the street, the street number, whether there is outdoor seating or takeaway, and whether the place is step-free.

Burger King

Burger King is at 146 İstiklal Caddesi, on the long pedestrian avenue. It is a burger restaurant with takeaway available, but it has no outdoor seating. We do not have verified information on step-free access.

McDonald's

This McDonald's is on Divanyolu Caddesi and serves burgers. It has outdoor seating and takeaway. We do not have verified information on step-free access.

Ayasofia Dönercisi

Ayasofia Dönercisi is a Turkish döner shop at 22 Alemdar Caddesi. It has no outdoor seating, and it is not listed as offering vegetarian options.

Kasap Döner

Kasap Döner is a Turkish döner place. It is not listed as wheelchair accessible. We have no street address for it in our records.

İstanbul Halk Ekmek

İstanbul Halk Ekmek is a branch of the city-run bread chain. We have no street address or opening hours for this outlet.

İstanbul Halk Ekmek

A second İstanbul Halk Ekmek outlet is also in the list, with no further details recorded. It is the same brand as the entry above, so it is worth checking the address before you go.

Hayat Cafe

Hayat Cafe is listed as a kebab place. We have no address, opening hours or access information for it.

Börekci

Börekci is a börek shop. It is not listed as wheelchair accessible, and we have no address or opening hours for it.

Practical notes

Check the opening hours and addresses directly before you go, since we only hold full details for the first three entries. The two İstanbul Halk Ekmek entries and Börekci have the least information recorded. Wheelchair access is recorded as "no" for Burger King, McDonald's, Kasap Döner and Börekci, so anyone with mobility needs should confirm before visiting.
