This is where we have reached in our efforts to track down a true Ottoman meal. It is an enormous dining hall still decorated as it was in the 1920s. As soon as the wall sconces are lit, the dreams and imaginings of the past are delivered into the the present day. We are now at the Haci Baba.

The Haci Baba Restaurant, a face of nostalgia in Beyoglu, has been serving its guests since 1921 with its constant understanding of taste and decoration ever protected with great care.
