Dazu
Located in Nişantaşı, Dazu Döner modernizes the local döner experience by cooking over a wood fire and creating a pub-like setting. The menu puts forward döner made with both beef and lamb, offered with various serving styles including atop lavaş, over rice, and sandwiched in baguette bread. Side options branch out from the ordinary, featuring lentil and ayran aşı (yogurt-based) soups. A defining detail is the freshly-prepared tandır lavaş, baked in the venue’s kitchen throughout the day—an element that shapes its take on classic döner. These considered touches set Dazu Döner apart within a familiar Turkish favorite.
