Ottoman Palace Cuisine Ottoman palace cuisine is an indisputable masterpiece and cultural heritage of Turkey. It combines the best characters from many cultures: Turkish, Arabic, Mediterranean, Balkan, Caucasian and others… Best chefs of the magnificent period, during many centuries, created their culinary masterpieces for the Sultans and their courtiers. Recipes were carefully stored and transmitted from one generation to another! Unfortunately, with the fall of the Ottoman Empire, this unique legacy almost completely disappeared and became oblivious. ⠀ We believe that this is wrong and unfair! And we really want to fix it!!
EXCELLENT Based on 3301 reviews Carolina R2025-09-02Verified Comida exquisita, lugar agradable y atención de primera categoría. En nuestra última noche en Estambul y antes de salir al aeropuerto decidimos buscar donde comer, nos topamos con este lugar, con estrella michelin, nos recibió el chef quien fue muy amable. Cada plato delicioso lo cual junto a la atención espectacular de UMUT hizo que nos despidiéramos de Estambul de la mejor manera. Hasta pudimos tomarnos fotografías con trajes típicos Turcos. Súper recomendado este restaurante. Silvia S2025-08-25Verified Eccellente Ottima cena, cibo squisito e servizio professionale, impeccabile e mai invadente. Degno dei migliori standard europei.

One of the chefs had been honored to represent Turkish cuisine in a diplomatic venture. We had chicken and beef kebab, as well as an impressive shrimp appetizer. We also participated in the cooking class. What fun we had! And how much we learned! We will definitely be back. We highly recommend this place to everyone. Matt McKissock2025-06-21Verified Inspired authentic Ottoman cuisine (and now Hittite!) from the kitchen of a culinary genius. Absolutely amazing original, authentic Ottoman cuisine from an inspired culinary genius - Najati (sp?), owner and head chef. I’ve been traveling to Istanbul for over a decade, and I am always proud to bring friends and family to Deraliye for one night during every stay. And now, not satisfied to sit on his laurels, Najati has done a deep dive on the cuisine of the ancient Hittites - what an amazing and completely unique dining experience. There’s nothing like it. Just do it!
For over a decade, Necati Yilmaz has meticulously studied and amassed ancient palace recipes, resulting in a collection of 425 culinary masterpieces. These dishes, once savored by Sultans and their entourage, now grace the tables of Necati's restaurants in Istanbul. From sweet melon stuffed with beef and almonds to cherry soup and delicate goose kebabs, his menu boasts mouthwatering delights. Guests can also partake in cooking classes led by Necati himself, where they learn to recreate these royal dishes. Necati's culinary expertise extends to consultancy work for TV series like "Magnificent Century" and consistently high ratings on TripAdvisor, earning accolades even from esteemed critics like Dr. Oz and George Miller. With recognition from Lonely Planet among the world's best restaurants, Necati Yilmaz's establishments offer a truly regal dining experience.
