We keep going back

We are Americans living in Istanbul. Anytime we are in the Sultanahmet area, we always go to Amedros. It is one of our favorite restaurants in Istanbul. Everything we have tried is great, and the staff are friendly and provide great service. Everyone we take here has also loved it. Their specialty are Ottoman dishes, the food of Turkish royalty. The chef did research on the meals eaten by the Sultans, and has reproduced them. Absolutely delicious.
The Testi Kabob is one of the House specialties, chicken, lamb, or both, cooked in a clay pot which they serve by breaking it in front of your table. It is entertaining, but the taste does outdo the show. Also, Amedros does have a wide range of dishes that go beyond what you can find in most restaurants in Istanbul. Every dish we had has been excellent, and we are looking forward to going back and trying another plate.
