One of Istanbul's most revered "meat restaurants," Beyti began as a humble eatery of four tables in 1945 and has since grown to encompass 11 richly decorated "salons" and a garden patio. At its peak (which it has yet to come off of), Beyti served princes, kings, presidents, and movie stars. Beyti was even at one time the supplier for the now-defunct Pan Am Airlines in-flight meals, as well as Air Force One, when Nixon was the aircraft's primary client. The house specialty is the restaurant's namesake: lamb filets wrapped in lamb fat and grilled.
