Elbet Steakhouse Founded in May 2016, Elbet Steakhouse has been so successful in cooking delicious steaks that it has become a local favorite in just a couple of years in a neighborhood like Etiler. Their owners are still personally involved to each steak that is in the restaurant, from the point the customer orders it to its trip to the table. This attention easily shows itself in their excellent customer service, professional staff and fantastic steaks. Elbet’s extensive menu has many options, from entrees like homemade sausage, steak tartar, meat sushi and smoked cheddar to its steaks such as veal fillet, t-bone, tomahawk, veal chops, lamb chops and Dallas steak.

Elbet Steakhouse has two restaurants in Istanbul: one in the Besiktas district, in the luxurious Etiler neighborhood and the other in the Uskudar district, in Akasya Shopping Mall. But since you will be mostly closer to Besiktas during your Istanbul tour, we recommend going to the one in Besiktas. To go there, you need to walk for 10 minutes after getting off at the Nispetiye station of the M6 Levent – Bogazici Universitesi metro line, which is accessed by transferring from the Levent stop of the M2 Yenikapi – Haciosman metro line.

They have veal and lamb soups to make a great start, followed by entrees like smoked meat plate, grilled sucuk and carpaccio. Their steaks are separated into 2 categories: wet-aged and dry-aged. Wet-aged steaks include meat spaghetti, leaf entrecote, veal steak fillet, lamb loin and lamb chops. Dry-aged steaks are Dallas steak, T-bone steak and New York Steak. The menu also includes salads, desserts, hot and cold drinks. Similar to other steakhouses, they also serve burgers, kebabs and meatballs too. But unlike other steakhouses, they also serve a fantastic traditional Turkish Breakfast.

The only bad thing we can say about the Boga Kasap Steakhouse is its location. There isn’t any metro station nearby and the only transportation options are IETT buses, which may get stuck on traffic during busy hours. The buses that go to the Kagithane Emniyet Mudurlugu, which is the bus stop next to the Boga Kasap Steakhouse, are 39Ç, 41ST, 41Y, 44B, 48S, 48T, 49, 49B, 64Ç and 399B.
