Istanbul Saray: Kyoto’s Only Dedicated Halal Turkish Restaurant
Istanbul Saray, in Kyoto's Kawaramachi-Sanjo area, is one of the few dedicated Turkish restaurants in the city and has been operating for nearly 20 years. Alongside its signature Adana kebab, the menu includes shakshuka-style vegetable dishes, dolma, and pide, covering a range of Turkish home-style and classic dishes. Because dedicated Turkish restaurants are rare in Kyoto, it's often recommended to travelers looking for something different from the city's usual dining options. It's within walking distance of Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station on the Tozai Line and close to the Kawaramachi-Sanjo bus stops.
