[TanerG]

wherever you go what is to be noticed is the Turkish hospitality and kindness

[kefegrafik]

15:48 that moment when you hit your first sip of the tea after your baklava, infinite loop of satisfaction

[helloworld-qekk]

oh you make me want to book a ticket to Turkiye!

[aeb]

as a turkish local i can agree with you that iskender kebab is the most delicious turkish dish ever

[tass]

I love channels like this that are being honest if they don't like something, most people would just pretend that they like every food but lets be real everyone has a different taste.
Great vid! 🙂

[simpletraveltech]

We were just there last week the whole weekend driving from Romania and back. Istambul is amazing city and we plan to go back to it.

[baysalonur]

You guys look so cheerful. Because of the vibe of the city i guess and you reflect that happiness to us

[delihikmet]

1:47 That's what makes döner different from the sauced variants in other countries. We like to savor the taste of the meat.

First... 🤭

Turkish foods looks super delicious especially with freshly made bread

[fahmidalutfullah]

Love köfte! Actually we get excellent Turkish köfte in Toronto now. I am so glad!

Dünyanın en harika ülkesine hoş geldiniz gençler sizleri severek izlemeye devam edecezğiz. 🫶🇹🇷

The first baklava that you tried was called “Kadayıf tatlısı” and it is not considered baklava, just a dessert with sugar syrup and walnuts or pistachios. They cook some kind of waffle/pancake mixture on big pans to make this noodle texture, it is called “kadayıf”. When kadayıf is cooked and dried, they shape it and put syrup and walnuts. On the other hand we need very very thin layers of pastry to make baklava, at least 40 layers they say. After baklava is cooked in oven, they put sugar syrup on it, too. Similar tastes with diferent texturest like you guessed. Thank you very much for your vlog :)

Note: Our pistachios are not Italian, it comes from Gaziantep, we call it “Antep fıstığı” 😂
And you need to run for at least 30 minutes to burn calories from 1 piece of baklava. 🤣

Wow that part of the world knows how to cook some good grilled meats. Looks so good. Flavourful without being overly spiced or saucy.

[azuwaharis]

I went to turkey last january, I still remember the taste of the meat kebab. very good.

[RayKaraoz]

Try to go ESNAF LOKANTASI where you can taste the several vegetable dishes cooked in their juices inside the pan.

[entity]

Here in the Balkans/Eastern Europe (and ofc Turkey), we're used to the taste of organ meat so this is generally quite good, I really love kokorec. If you try "drob" (which is like romanian haggis) it tastes similar. That Iskender looked amazing, it's my favorite kebab and that butter must make it even better. Just need to try the kunefe(especially in a traditional place like Hafiz Mustafa which is very close to Blue Mosque) and all the borek types and maybe something like maklube, çoban kavurma

Right, döner is the way the meat is prepared on that rotating thing! That bread looks so soft and fresh. That is excellent quality street food.

[dumanroulain]
