Normally the meat restaurants serving kebap follow the tradition of Southeastern Turkey, are quite basic, and do not serve alcohol. However, here in Taksim, these restaurants are different because they serve meat with appetizers and alcohol. These are fully traditional restaurants where you can find the true spirit of Istanbul, and in particular of Beyoğlu. A dinner in one of these restaurants is highly recommended.

If you like, you can sit directly in front of the ocakbaşı, watching the preparation in real time.
