Casita Manti, Besiktas

This is a popular little late-night joint where inebriated locals tend to stagger to slurp soup. Delicious Manti (tiny ravioli-like parcels filled with meat and topped with a tasty herb and garlic yoghurt sauce) is also on the menu. The Börek (little filo pastry triangles filled with meat and cheese) is good here as well. It's not uncommon to spot the odd local celebrity here - they often drop in for an after-hours snack after a heavy night on the town.
