AI Summary
Ciğerci Zeko is a no-frills liver kebab specialist tucked into Yunus Mahallesi in Kartal, on Istanbul's Asian side. The menu revolves around perfectly seasoned Arnavut ciğeri (Albanian-style pan-fried liver) and ciğer şiş served in fresh bread or wrapped in a dürüm. Tables fill early — regulars come for the crispy exterior, tender interior and the classic accompaniment of sumac-dressed onions and parsley. With single-digit prices and quick service, it's one of the most honest bites in the district.

One of the best street food experiences I had in Istanbul. Came here after exploring Kartal — the liver kebab (ciğer şiş) was perfectly spiced and incredibly fresh. Cheap, fast and delicious. Hidden gem.

Tried ciğer (liver kebab) for the first time here and it completely won me over. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, served with sumac onions. A true taste of local Istanbul street food. Go early!

Best liver sandwich I've eaten anywhere. The Arnavut ciğeri here is world-class — perfectly seasoned, pan-fried just right. Locals pack this place on weekend mornings and now I understand why.

A tiny neighbourhood spot that packs enormous flavour. The ciğer dürüm is a must-try — fresh wrap, juicy liver, herbs and a kick of red pepper. Incredibly good value for money.

Ciğerci Zeko is the real deal — no tourist menu, no fancy decor, just brilliant liver kebab made by people who've been doing it for years. Great introduction to authentic Istanbul street food.
