You should try peynir tatlısı (helvası)
You tried more Turkish food than me and i‘m Turkish😭😭😭
I wanna say Sarma or Dolma but i guess you already tried and just forgot to write down lol
Try baklava, katmer and künefe. (At very good places. If you have time try it in cities like Gaziantep, Diyarbakır, Mardin…)
Mantı and cağ kebap
At the top of my head you can try irmik tatlısı, batırık, cacık and kısır. The first one is a common desert but you need to find a restourant that makes it fresh, batırık is a region specific cold snack/meal, cacık is like a side dish/cold soup, and kısır is sort of like a refreshing wheat salad.
San Sebastian as its name suggests is also Spanish.
San Sebastian is not Turkish lmao
Kayseri yağlaması
Sivas köftesi
I didn’t know san sebastian was Turkish
You should try içli köfte, my favorite type of köfte.
Ekşili köfte
Cağ kebap
Yaprak tava ciğer
You might like to try “Bursa tahanlısı” at Bursa. It is a traditional bakery product from Bursa. It is common to have breakfast with tahanlı at abdal simit fırını.
That is a pretty good list you’ve eaten your way through. I’ll suggest some dishes and good places to have them in european side of istanbul
İçli köfte – Tatbak, also great lahmacun
Etli yaprak sarma – sade beş denizler, anything here will be great
Beğendi and tas kebabı – Hünkar
Edirne style tava ciğer – Naci Usta in beşiktaş
Beyran – Lezzeti şark near egyptian bazaar
Armenian Mezes – Kelebek Köfte in kurtuluş (mezme is the better option but I think they only do online)
Greek Mezes – Eleos, taksim or yeşilköy
For dessert you could try burma kadayıf – Burmalım in beşiktaş
Lahmelevarka then kunefe for a desert (you can only find in Hatay province)
I recomment İzmir Bomba, it’s a dessert which is just cookie shaped dough filled with liquid-solid chocolate. If you eat more than one i can’t guarantee not getting diabetes though if they’re big
Güveç, kuru fasulye, nohutlu pilav combo
Try peynir tatlısı
It is muhlama. Not mıhlama. Also mUhlama is not a kuymak. And it is not mıhlama. Kuymak and MUHLAMA has differences. And it is not mıhlama. Its name is mUhlama.
Uy. Haçan. Da.
And as a reminder. It is MUHLAMA.
Ok. I am good now.

Try this, it’s called şırdan, a very Turkish dish.
People will say try this try that but everyone knows there is nothimg better than a good iskender
I see a lot of soups are missing in your list. Try soups. My favorite is “Tarhana Çorbası” definitely try it. I can drink 4-5 bowls in one run 🤠
Borek. Patatesli (potato), Peynirli (feta cheese), and etli (ground beef).
Try hünkar beğendi, saray bohçası, cağ kebabı. also visit a meyhane and try different mezes (cold starters). There are a lot of delicious mezes in a good meyhane. My favorites are pastırmalı humus, girit ezmesi, fava, lakerda, paçanga böreği, deniz börülcesi, haydari, şakşuka.
Humus, but you definitely need to eat it in Tarsus. If you don’t have the opportunity, at least eat it somewhere that serves it hot. I especially recommend you to choose one with pastrami.
If you want to try something different as a dessert, I also recommend you to try the Mamul, especially the ones with dates are very good.
Piti (bozbaş), hengel, kete, cağ kebap, haşıl, all of them are Eastern Turkey foods.
Mantı is one of the best but pls eat it with garlic in the yogurt
irmik helvası
If you ever go to Hatay, you should find the restaurant called Pehlivan and order a zurna. I warn you it’s big. It is a type of tavuk döner (google translates it to chicken wrap)
hamsi tava – hamsi kuşu – behram çorba
Try kokoreç again
And again
And again
Just like I did
Try işkembe çorbası
It is the best soup on planet Earth
Kabak çiçeği dolması before summer ends
San Sebastian is not Turkish 🤣. Seems like you have tried a lot but I can recommend you theese ones;
Hünkar Beğendi
Künefe
Cağ Kebab
You will not be disappointed for sure 👍
Mersin s specialty the Kerebiç.
You should try these three in a same time.
Kıymalı patlıcan musakka (eggplant musakka with minced meat)
Pilav (rice)
Kuru cacık (cucumber wih yogurt and salt, without water)
Try these and dont forget to eat raw onion with them. Yummy.
KELLEPACA
go for zeytinyağlı stuff
