2.Tandoori Indian Restaurant

One of the first restaurants to introduce Indian cuisine to the people of Istanbul, Tandoori tends to fill up quickly. The place is loved for its idea of serving a culture along with food. Located in Besiktas, Istanbul, Tandoori offers a real taste of India at great prices. The staff is family-friendly and hospitable. If you visit the restaurant, we recommend trying Chicken Makhani with Basmati rice.


3.Bombay Masala Indian Restaurant

If you're anywhere near Sultanahmet Mosque, consider yourself lucky because Bombay Masala is just a few steps away. The place is famous for its hot & spicy food that does justice to the restaurant's name. You'll find many South Asians here who love to devour spices. The place is nicely decorated and makes an excellent spot for lunch and early dinners. If you're craving typical Indian home-cooked food in Istanbul, Bombay Masala won't disappoint.

Last but not least, Dubb is famous for its incredible views and scrumptious food. Situated against the views of the Bosphorus and Hagia Sophia, this restaurant offers a wide range of food, especially for tourists from India.
