Creative çiğ köfte rolls and trays with strong flavors and good value for many, but spice, service inconsistency, and price perceptions divide opinions.
Çiğköfteci Selim Bey delivers exceptional food quality with bold, well-seasoned çiğ köfte and creative roll formats that draw devoted followers across Kadıköy. However, inconsistent execution—occasional dryness and spice variance on repeat visits—prevents a higher grade, as does uneven service quality between downstairs and upstairs seating. The casual street-side vibe and quick turnarounds make it a solid neighborhood destination for adventurous eaters who appreciate bold flavors.
One caveat: Spice level feels fixed to some guests; a few report stomach discomfort
