KI will be closed for a well-deserved summer break from June 2nd through June 25th.
We’ll be back on June 26th ♡︎

We would like to sincerely thank @michelinguide for this recognition. We’re truly humbled.

Our goal has always been simple: to make you feel at home and provide an experience that makes you smile. More than food or wine, Kitchen Istanbul is about a neighborhood and a community.

We wouldn’t be here without our incredible guests, the people who’ve always believed in us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, and see you soon.

♥️

Ayça, Büşra, Sire, Yasemin, L, Alejandra, Joseph, Adam, Esteban, Carlos and Emrah.

Ready for Mother’s Day service.

Next Friday, April 10, @vomboden is taking over the Kitchen Istanbul wine list. We’ll be featuring an incredible selection of rare wines from Germany, Austria, and beyond, the kind of stuff you don’t every day.

Stephen from Vom Boden will be in attendance to share his knowledge on these amazing producers and bottles. Whether you’re a certified Riesling fanatic or just a curious wine drinker, this one isn’t to be missed. It’s a Friday, so we expect a packed house. Make your reservation early.

On Thursday February 12 at Kitchen Istanbul , we’re proud to welcome Anthony Lynch from @kermitlynchwine for a list takeover featuring some gems from one of wine’s most celebrated importers. We hardly need to mention the storied history of KLWM, but what makes this evening so special is that we’ll be focusing on the most cutting-edge and contemporary producers in the portfolio. Enjoy a chance to see where wine is heading with one of the most thoughtful minds in the business. Quantities on certain selections are limited, so you may want to spring for an early reservation.

Two culinary heroes in the house tonight ♡︎♡︎
Always grateful, inspired, and honored 🙏

We had so much fun last month that we figured it was time for round ❷. On Thursday October 30, @paulbwasserman is back in town, and we’re thrilled to have put together another list of extremely special wines, this time in conjunction with @terrafirmawine If you need even more impetus to check out our awesome new menu from @bussrayvaz , here’s the perfect opportunity. Come in, enjoy some rare bottles, and learn about them from one of the most thoughtful and magnanimous people in all of wine.

If you’ve eaten here recently, you probably already know that @bussrayvaz is a special talent who has taken our food to a whole different level. But for those who haven’t, we’re beyond thrilled to see @mackenzie_fegan celebrating Büşra’s unique culinary perspective in the pages of the @sfchronicle
Come in, taste chef’s food, and definitely take Mackenzie’s advice to order the mussels.
