Istanbul’s street food is a reflection of the city’s diverse culture, offering a wide range of flavors from savory to sweet.

This culinary exploration is not just about tasting food; it’s an immersion into the vibrant street life of Istanbul, offering insights into the city’s rich history and cultural traditions.
