Zula

Starting with my personal favorite, Zula’s burger called “basic” is probably the best burger I’ve had in my entire life! If you could visit only one place from this guide, it should be Zula. They only have a few options: basic, big (same as basic but includes double the amount of meat), fake mac (is inspired by Big Mac). Their fries are also mouth watering.

Zula has branches in different locations. You may pick the one that is closest to you while discovering İstanbul. All of them are located in shopping centers, so you may also spend some time shopping after a delicious burger.

European side: Vadi İstanbul (Sarıyer/İstanbul), Kanyon (Şişli/İstanbul), Zorlu Center (Beşiktaş/İstanbul)

Asian side: Emaar Square AVM (Üsküdar/İstanbul)
