Grill

Grill

The word grill comes from the Greek language. There are different types of grills. While the spacing of metal sticks (skewers) or sticks made of tree branches is a frequently used cooking method on the grill, cooking can also be done with metal/woods in the form of bars or cages.

Meat, fish and meatballs are the main dishes cooked on the grill. Grilled dishes are prepared by cooking meat over charcoal, with or without marinating it.

One of the most important points to pay attention to in grilled food is undoubtedly the proper cooking of the meat. If meat is cooked too much, it may become tough or black burns may appear on the meat. This is an undesirable situation in terms of taste and presentation.

Another issue that requires mastery when cooking meat on the grill is cooking the meat to the right consistency. So, even if the meat is undercooked, it won't happen at all. Because raw meat has a bad taste, it cannot appeal to the palate, and it is very difficult for people to eat (chew).

Grill meals are a healthy way of eating. Grilling is done on an iron counter called barbecue. In Turkey, the concept of grilling already goes beyond barbecue. In addition to grilled meat, peppers, tomatoes and onions, depending on the dish, can also be kebabbed. This not only enhances the presentation of the dish, but also adds flavor to it.

Müşteri Yorumları Customer Reviews

What do our customers say about us?

It is opposite Hagia Sophia in the Eminönü district of Istanbul. Its architect is Sedefkâr Mehmed Ağa, who was appointed as the chief architect after the death of Mimar Sinan. Sultan Ahmet Social Complex, which was started to be built with a great ceremony by Ahmet I in 1609 and completed in 1616, has the distinction of being one of the largest social complexes in Istanbul. It is also known as the "Blue Mosque" in the West due to the more than 20,000 tiles with floral motifs used in the complex. According to what Evliya Çelebi wrote about this monumental structure; Seven palaces were destroyed. The fact that the social complex is one of the last examples of the Ottoman classical architectural approach has added a special value to the structure.

The best restaurant we ate in Istanbul. It was the first place we stopped after unpacking and everything about this place screams authentic Turkish cuisine. The staff was very nice and courteous and the food was seriously the best. I recommend the Meat Test kebab mix with beef and chicken and ravioli. Both are outstanding at this location. We tried the same dishes at another restaurant and it didn't even come close. I recommend it to all tourists visiting this place. Great staff, authentic food and the price of everything is beyond reasonable.

We stumbled upon this amazing restaurant by chance and had a surprisingly delicious experience. Our server was very friendly and recommended us a traditional dish, Chicken Testi Kebab. It turned out to be quite an interesting and delicious dish. The whole experience made us feel comfortable enough to stay for a few hours, enjoying Sheeha, hot drinks and food. If you are in old Istanbul, I highly recommend Serbethane.

It is a very nice place behind the Blue Mosque where you can eat delicious and relatively cheap food, play backgammon, smoke hookah, and enjoy relaxing background music. The desserts are divine! The most delicious thing I've ever eaten!
