Öz Kaygısız Döner
Address
Osmanağa, Nüshetefendi Sok. No:49A, 34714 Kadıköy/İstanbul
Editor's Note
Öz Kaygısız is a classic, old-school esnaf lokantası tucked into Kadıköy’s side streets, with döner as its signature. The style is exactly what you’d expect from a traditional local lunch spot: minimal seasoning, a clean salt-forward profile, and meat that stays juicy without feeling overly fatty. Kadıköy is a big advantage here too: it’s easy to reach from the market, the ferry/transport hubs, and the surrounding neighborhoods, and it’s the kind of place that still serves locals (shopkeepers, workers, and students) all day long.
