Sabırtaşı

Even if you haven’t heard of the name of this food cart, I’m sure you have seen it in Taksim. Although I have eaten there before, this time I got a chance to listen to the story of the little food cart. The story starts by explaining how the owner Mustafa’s father opened this food cart. He is from Kahramanmaras and he was a business man who went bankrupt and came to Istanbul. It was the mothers idea to sell iclikofte. The mother would cook it and the husband would go door by door and sell all his iclikofte to his customers. They started being famous for their delicious iclikofte, so in 1988 they bought this small food cart and started selling. Now they also have a restaurant called Sabırtaşı right in front of the food cart. Just this year they lost their beloved father. The family’s son Mustafa doesn’t work in the restaurant, instead he stands outside in the cold weather, and sells hic iclikofte to his customers in honor of his father. The food and especially the iclikofte are delicious.
