Meşhur Sultanahmet Köftecisi is a restaurant located at Alemdar, Divan Yolu Cd. No:4, 34110 Fatih/İstanbul, Türkiye.
We just paid almost 2800 TL for 4 people, the meatballs weren't that delicious and they didn't even offer complimentary tea. It's definitely not worth the price.
People want to try it because of its name, but from what I've seen, everyone regrets it. A portion of meatballs costs 620 TL, and there are only three or five meatballs on the plate; no side dishes, no rice, no salad, nothing at all. The meatballs are worse than those you buy from a discount supermarket; they're like rubber. I don't understand how they managed to make them this bad.
We waited in line for so long, then we were asked to leave our table because we had a pet. Our puppy was in our arms, weighing 1.5 kilos. If it were making noise or wandering around, I'd understand, but what harm could a puppy in our arms possibly do to deserve being asked to leave our table? Shame on this animal-hating place.
We asked the staff if we could eat inside for iftar, and they said we could. When we went inside, they said they could only take the meatball sandwiches to go and advised us to eat something else. So we went outside to get a takeaway. When we tried to pay, they claimed our genuine money was fake and tried to refuse it. It was utterly disgraceful. The meatballs themselves tasted good. We paid 400 TL for the meatballs and ayran (yogurt drink). If you're coming outside of Ramadan, it's a very good place. I didn't like the treatment we received at all. There wasn't even a simple apology.
