Wondering why the price are no longer mentioned, it helps tremendously when planning a trip and wanting to eat on a budget. Do these Owners tell Mark not to list any prices? It sucks to have to pause, rewind, and try to see what the food price is if a shot is captured. Maybe by featuring the foods now He doesn't pay for the meals so, doesn't even think of posting it?
Check out the description box, prices are included there. I didn't include them in the video because it was hard for me to figure out what we ate, that was shown in the video (as I bought more food for my wife and son, but not featured in the video). There were definitely some owners who wouldn't take payment, despite me trying to pay. Please check out the description box. Thanks for the feedback, I can try my best to keep adding prices in the video itself. Thanks!
If you are just saying this video I might help .. All of the dishes change mostly between 150-500 tl in turkey . If you eat lhigh quality amb or steak based meal its around 300-500 liras. approx 10-20 euros per plate.Chicken is cheaper((5-10 euros). pastry is even cheaper of course. I recommend stick to the street food and avoid ''fancy'' restaurants because they dont exactly resemble turkish food they more french italian cuisine than us. Fruits are cheaper than Asian countries we buy them in kilos not by one. It's still not so expensive if you won't go to tourist spots and find good quality hidden gems. And if we are talking about turkey, I bet most of the places wont charge Mark for making free ad(for them its not a vlog it is advertisement for free), so they want to give you food for free. even if he wants to pay, Turkish mindset thinks it would be a shame and greedy to charge someone putting you on youtube for free, they mostly wouldn't except your money :)

He is one of a kind fellow & he does what he loves so that contagious smile is authentic and as real as it gets honestly.

All their restaurants and kitchens are heavenly clean!
If the restaurants would not be clean nobody would go there, Turkish people obsessed with cleaning.
My friend, who has traveled to 15 countries, says that Turkey is one of the cleanest countries.
As a Greek i must admit that the Turkish cuisine is better than the greek. And the reason for this is that Turkish people prepare the ingredients and the whole food much better than the Greeks. Only in some traditional oven greek foods are equal
As a Turks I believe Greeks have one of the best seafood cuisine
We are bros Greeks have one of the best foods. Gre and Tur cusienes besst
come to turkey my friend
@@MehmetSz-bc6zi I have visited turkey many times
I think Turkey is better for meat food but Greece is better for seafood...and they are both good for mezes.
Mark is so respectful towards every culture. He shows that he likes everything.
Always! He is a good person.
I agree 💯
Really Mr.Mark is a good person and respects and adjusts all cultures in the world. Only one thing I want to say is that if the food is spicy/ sweet or just boiled his expression is same things 😂❤❤❤
Yeah there is absolutely NOTHING bad in Turkey. No food that is not great. Which is absolutely false. Maybe to Mark nothing bad.... buuut I think not so.

Your Türkiye videos in 2016 were great, I'm so glad you came back and you did a great job again Mark!
Thank you very much!

Turkish food looks like THE best food on the planet. Would love to visit
Sure is
It is not. Went 5 times cause my auntie lives there, it is overrated.. Even tried most recommended restaurants and this guy is making it look like its the best, it's decent but not Wow as he says

@@imqsqssick of jealousy ppl like you , on all Turkish cuisine videos there are some ppl like you to make negative comments , you like it not whole world loves Turkish cuisine and no one cares what you and the ppl like you comments
The diversity of Turkish cuisine is truly remarkable, reflecting a rich tapestry of cultural influences. From the traditional Turkic elements like yogurt and ayran to the Mediterranean, Balkan, Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and Eastern European flavors, Turkish food offers an astonishing variety. Each region of Turkey contributes its own unique dishes and cooking styles, from the Ottoman court-inspired flavors of Istanbul to the fish-rich dishes of the Black Sea Region and the famous kebabs of the southeast.
As someone who despises North Eastern cousine of Turkey, I have to admit even that area provides the pide, kuymak with a lot of styles of pide Bafra and all.
East, particularly southeast is the heaven of more mainstream Turkish cousine
But there are a lot of stuff usually being missed, from Agean, Balkan etc.
Your host is very polite and professional as a food guide.
by far the best cuisine in the world and the best food in the world is available in this country no other country can compete with Turkish cuisine they value hygiene and presentation very much in some countries while in some countries food is cooked in dirty streets I have not come across such a thing in Turkey I better understood why these men did not lose wars in history thanks turkey
I'm leaving for Istanbul tomorrow, thank you for this, I will visit all these places!
Have a great trip!

@@achmad3105 you obviously havent watched all his vlogs. He has been to Pakistan!!
Welcome my country, hope you have nice time
Been watching so much Turkish series lately and I've always been watching their food. I'm so glad Mark is giving us such an in depth tour of Turkey and their cuisine.
As someone who lives in Germany, I thought Turkish döner in Germany is the best. But after trying the döner in Istanbul, I feel like döner kebab in Germany is a disgrace in comparison to the döner in Turkey.
It depends on where you eat döner. Not every döner is the same. I live in the Netherlands and I really don't think the döner is edible here, but it is in Germany, for example. In Duisburg I eat yaprak döner. So far the best I've eaten. No doubt I've had better elsewhere in the world :)
I'm a Turk born and raise in Germany but I still prefer the Döner here in Germany because I like the variety of sauces and the different fillings and I grew up with it
It's comfort food for me
But I know that the meat in Turkey is far better than in Germany
Had many nice foods in Turkey, and the breakfast is like a feast. Very hospitable people.
That egg and tomato dish looked like heaven. Yum! And I couldn't believe the chef grabbed that bread out of the oven with his bare hands. You can tell he's worked in a kitchen along time.
It is super simple to make as well to be fair. You can search for refika menemen. You will be very suprised how easy it is to make, it is pretty similar to shakshuka. I eat that pretty much every day. Keto friendly option as well.
I’m going to Turkey in 3 weeks for the first time ..I can’t wait !🥰 x
Have a nice trip buddy! Dont forget to try Cağ Kebabı for a life changing experience. Also give it a shot to İskender and zeytinyağlı sarma.
have a great holiday mate
what about a food tour together? I'm on your service. 😋
go and try Restaurant Ciya in Kadikoy to taste south eastern house dishes without going, the best and it was on netflix too
FYI, this is a very hot time in turkey. Make sure to get the lightest outfit, and during the night, it gets cold. Have a hoodie.
Must visit kapadokya. U need a month to see all the good stuff there. The problem, not everyone is fluent with English.
I stayed for 2 months about 4 blocks from the market streets in Kadiköy. Amazing that I didn't gain 30 lbs! Thanks for the memory refresher!
I think Turkey is my best mouth watering food……..Turkey is a special country……bless you Mark and your family🥰🥰
Turkey is a beautiful country
Turkish kitchen, unbeatable !
cuisine*** mutfak denmez
All looks so delicious. The rice with beans and then beef look perfect. Nothing complicated, just humble and comforting. Sometimes that's what you crave and nothing else will do
I definitely did not eat enough in Istanbul. Cannot wait to go back to try these foods!
Dear Fellow Mark;
My name is Honour Naven. I am a Turkish origin American National who has “Dual Citizenship.” I was born and raised in Istanbul City, Republic of Türkiye. I am a former resident of Las Vegas, NV. Cincinnati, OH. and Laurens County, SC. Since 4 years, I’ve been gladly watching your memorable videos and sharing your happiness while you are experiencing and tasting the ancient recipes of our Regional and National Turkish Cuisine. You’ve been in different Cities and States of America and also many other Countries as well, but I am humbled by stating that Turkey is one of the top places you and your lovely family admired visiting, that is what I’ve been fairly and really noticing! Your English articulation and pronunciation is phenomenal. Your wording is grammatically articulate, accurate, coherent and precise. Your expressions are eloquent, fluent and flawless. I love listening your English explanations and presentations! Plus that, there are specific times that you are truly attentive by saying Turkish words too, for example; “Tombik Döner”, “Çiğ Börek”, "Teşekkürler" etc... Well done brother and congratulations! I am wishing you everlasting peace and prosperity in your life, maybe perhaps we shall meet in your next journey to Turkey, who knows? Until then, take good care of yourself and your family. Always be well...
Godspeed and bless.
Solemnly written by,
Honour Naven
Honor,thank you for letting us know the names and pronunciation is correct. Are there any other suggestions of foods to try when visiting?
Well, Mark Wiens was born and raised partly in Phoenix, Arizona, USA and in France. Of course, his English is perfect. It would be strange, otherwise.
Besides, his previous job was English teacher.
He is of Germanic and Chinese origin.
@@ronv6637 You are more than welcome Ron. Mr. Wiens visited Turkey a couple of times. I will gladly update you about more Regional and National tastes of Turkish Cuisine, but I think he has sufficient tasting experience at this time, however learning and discovering new things never ends brother! We may keep in touch...
@@honour2985hocam ismini niye değiştirdin? adın Onur belli ki, daha Amerikan görünmek için mi? Kusura bakma ama nargile kafeyle, cep telefonu markası arasında bir isim olmuş.You raised up in Türkiye and your name should be Onur, why you choose a funny name like Honour? Is this the name of the sister company of Huawei, whats that? So unnecassary
A Turkish-Mexican Restaurant would be amazing. The food style is so similar but so different it’s amazing.
Thats because Lebanese immigrants brought Ottoman/Turkish dishes over to Mexico in the 1800s. But there are also some really basic dishes like tortillas that are shared between both.
I most recently had some amazing rice from a Turkish restaraunt here in NYC. .
It’ was called pilaf and was PHENOMENAL ❤❤❤
Nice to hear that you enjoyed it!

@@achmad3105Because your country is very dirty. Don't you understand this?
Mark spreads positive vibes always smiling and being kind to everyone.🌞
I love manti with yogurt sauce, and it really seems like an art to do this very small "raviolis". Thanks Mark for getting us into the kitchen, where we can see how those small dumplings are prepared.
Turkish food is my next one in the list. Mark we are watching and enjoying all kind of foods that you introduced to us from all over the world 🌎 here from NJ. By the way I love watching you in the videos always with your beautiful family ❤
Oh man I'm excited to go there next month...can't wait!
Don't forget the sunscreen.
Great to hear that, you will have an amazing time!
Turkish?
@@MarkWiens hi Mark if you had a chance try Afghan food at Zayton borno Istanbul I bet you will love it
@@ahmadshaban8549 Seninkisi, Müslüman mahallesinde salyangoz satmaya benzemiş. Türkiye'de Afgan yemeklerinin reklamını mı yapıyorsun? Mesajını başka ülkeden yasan tamam diyeceğim. Türkiye'de yaşıyorsun, Türkiye'nin ekmeğini yiyorsun, sonrada nankörlük edip başka ülkenin reklamını yapıyorsun. Afgan yemeklerini o kadar çok seviyorsan, özlediysen yürü git Afganistan'a; Türkiye'ye neden geldin o zaman? Tamam, ülkenin yemeklerini özleyip onları evinde yada dışarıda bulabilirsen yiyebilirsin fakat, Türkiye'de yaşayıp bol bol Türk yemekleri ile beslendiğin halde, sanki Türk yemeklerini beğenmiyormuşsun gibi kendi ülkenin yemeklerinden söz etmen hiç hoş değil.
The fact that we get free videos on RUclips by Mark is truly a gift; keeping the education and knowledge alive. 👏
I always wonder what people think the advertising on You Tube is for when they exclaim it’s free to watch. Bloggers get paid… some more than others. There are ad free channels, usually they have Patreon as well.
When you came in 2016, there was a coup attempt, I was unfortunate, you couldn't taste the flavors of Istanbul with enough pleasure. You were with your wife then, now you are with your family. I'm so glad you came again. I hope you travel all over Turkey.☺
GOD BLESS TURKEY!
This food immediately makes me want to go to Türkiye just to try all of it! Everything looks sooooooooooooo good!
Great video as always mark! Turkey is the only foreign country i have visited and it did not disappoint and of course the food is incredible 😁
Great to hear you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much, appreciate it!
@@BarisPalabiyik teşekkurler
Same for me, I was a "RUclips Virgin :-)" before I started to watch Marks channel
Amazing you had kaymak and sucuk in my one and only childhood time !!!!! Just around the corner is the German private school and I remember going to this place in the morning to skip classes ( 15-17 years ago ) still looks the same ! I’m so flattered and happy to see ❤❤
Wow a 1 hour Turkish food crawl! Time to grab my snack! This is awesome Mark!
I've had a lot of good food here and there in the world. But Turkish cuisine is incredibly extensive. From sucuk to Baklava. Each region has its own specialties. There is nothing better than Turkish food. I'm not saying this because I'm Turkish, but after everything I've tasted so far, I couldn't find anything better than Turkish food!
AMONG THOSE WHO DO THIS JOB, YOU ARE THE MOST SINCERE, MOST NATURAL, MOST CUTE PERSON. ALWAYS COME TO TURKEY, WE LOVE YOU
Hai mark.. one day, i swear to you one day.. i'll go to your food destination in turkiye.. just pray for me so i can go there
Love your videos Mr. Wiens. Turkey 🇹🇷 ✋🏽 down got some of the best food in the world!! Love döner, kaymak, so many. Istanbul is a world class city!!
Yes definitely, thank you!
@@MarkWienswhy you not come to Pakistan Bhadway rkb
I am so glad you exist, Mark. Honestly. You have consistently been enthusiastic, encouraging, respectful, passionate, cheerful, friendly. Your videos make me feel better when work and life and bills feel overwhelming. Even if just vicariously, it reminds me there are fun things to do, see and eat.
"Oh wow" "it melts in your mouth" "so buttery" "so creamy". All the things I wanna hear when I cook. 🥰
OMG OMG OMG that first place Kaymak, I went there twice in my first trip, and have been back ever since. That shop is the reason why I go to instanbul and the owner is so passionate, i have three videos of him on my youtube channel.
Istanbul*
I totally appreciate how well Mark talks with food in his mouth.
Hi Mark - I love your videos and very much appreciated your friendliness when we crossed paths while you were filming in the Grand Bazaar eating kokorec. I apologize for my interruption, but I was just so surprised to see you and said "hi" before I realized you might be in the middle of filming.
57:27
I'm revealing the secret of
"Cİg borek" :)))
Secret 1-Adding grape vinegar to the dough!
Secret 2- Soaking the ground meat with water!
Thus, when "cig borek" is put into oil, the dough (outer skin) is fried in oil, while the meat (inner part) is cooked in "water vapor without coming into contact with the frying oil"
you're welcome :)
Yes, you said it all when you said Turkish cuisine is one of the best cuisines in the world. On the other day, I was watching a habitual cooking vlog from Refika, Istanbul, making Tantuni. Fabulous. I have also made a mini döner at home.
I love learning how every culture has learned to feed and fill up themselves based on what's available, in their land. And, the fact that so many different cultures have had the same ideas, worlds apart, is inspiring! You going out there to show it to us is FASCINATING!! THANK you!! ❤
Dear Mark, you should definitely go to Adana and Gaziantep. You will find the real tastes of Turkey there
great video. The places this man goes to are completely local and businesses that local people enjoy going to. It is pleasing that there are no touristic or artificial places.
Istanbul is a beautiful Baytown kinda reminds me of my hometown with all the diversity & cultures intertwined. The first few dishes look perfect for a social gathering or a quick nibble but I'm like you Mark I don't indulge in sweets really. The vibes are very neutral & the food is definitely not dissatisfying. The eggplant & fish cuisines looks amazing omgoodness Turkey has alot to offer for sure. The ferry ride from Asia to Europe is a phenomenal feature to utilize for business, tourism, & entertainment. I love eggs with cheese so the restaurant you revisit from 2016 caught my hunger lol. Excellent tour overall!! Love what this town has to offer in whole. Thanks again Mark for your constant journey we are so lucky to be apart of... & as always safe travels & blessings for you and your family!! Cheers my friend!! 🥘🍳🥖🍮🍻
I'd love to visit Istanbul one day!
The country looks amazing and the food looks delicious. Right into my list to go ! Wonderful vid as always!!
Thank you very much!
Mr mark always happy to see food and enjoy masah Allah your son is grow up I hope he loves food as you do
I’ve been to the pilav place in Kadiköy few months ago and can confirm it’s absolutely delicious!
Mark you are the food legend of our time! You are a truly amazing and respectful individual. You remain humble despite your fame and fortune.
how grown up Mica already is. From being carried around to now walking side by side with Mark. 😍 been dreaming of visiting Turkiye as well. hopefully soon! 🙏🏽
Mica is probably glued to smartphone / tablet since his parents are while shooting videos
Mark I’m a Turkish Chef currently living in Florida USA. Iv been watching your videos for a long time and learned lots of things from your videos. Thank you so much for showing our culture by going local places and sharing your experiences and be generous to our community! Best food channel on RUclips no doubt!
A big thank you for reliving the nostalgic memories of the various eatries in Istanbul ! one of the best in the world !
I’m happy you’re in Istanbul again. Your videos here are my favorites!
My dear friend mark , always love your content , thank you for making this possible , you're always loved and respected 👌🏻 glad you enjoyed 🇹🇷
Uğur was my food walking tour guide last year in september. So good to see you here Uğur :)
I love this guy. Sending greetings from Türkiye.
Oh wow, a new video from Istanbul ! I am really looking forward to enjoy it. I love turkish food and cant wait to be back in Türkiye in September. Your channel is really amazing, thanks a lot Mark and Ying for the excellent content you provide !
Eğer video çekecekseniz bir değişiklik yapın ve türk kahvesi içip kahve falı baktırın. Bu eğlencelidir ve sanırım pek bilinmiyor.
@@ozgeylmaz3194 Thanks for the tipp. I am not planning on making a video, but having the fortune read, sounds interesting. Can you also do this with chai (I prefer chai to coffee) ?
@@swissfoodie3542 No, it's specific to Turkish coffee.
@@talhabilalalp9346 Thanks for the reply. So I will try it with coffee.
Honestly just want to sit next to or across from Mark, the guy just makes food and my relationship with it a lot healthier.
Oh man you’re killing it !!!! The way he savors each bite is truly mesmerizing. His facial expressions while eating are the best I’ve ever seen .. you can almost taste the food through the screen. The passion and love he has for food are evident in every spoonful he puts in his mouth 😂 This love makes him one of the best, if not the best , gourmets I’ve had so much pleasure of watching.
Many years ago we relied on food channels and documentaries to see what the world eats. Thanks to people like Mark who showed us the actual food and cultures of many nations, my eyes opened up through RUclips and with these kind of videos. Thank you Mark, God bless you! ❤
Lades Menemen , Huseyin Kofte , Sehzade Cag Kebab, Zubeyir Ocakbasi were our favourites.. some of them we found after watching your earlier videos
There are more than this. Next time ask a local like me :)
I'm soooo glad you went back to Istanbul, last time I felt you didn't get to experience the real wonderful foods of this beautiful country
What a great guide you had! Love to see you back Mark!
You confused me when you took the ferry back to Europe but then continued eating in kadikoy 😂 Thanks for taking me back. I love Turkiye , gotta get back soon
Haha me too😂
I ve got confused too 😂
Mark well done ✅, this an excellent video, Turkish people are always happy and have good hospitality ❤
Thank you for such a nice video about must-try food in Istanbul 👍
My spouse and I will be in Istanbul tomorrow. We've been watching various Turkish food videos for a couple of years. Mark Wiens' video have hit on most of the foods that we're going to try. We do realize because of the high inflation that has hit that area (actually globally) food prices will increase, but it's still a good deal and a check off in the bucket list. As a retired restaurant cook of 30 yrs., I am tempted to take some cooking lessons while visiting, but let's see what the spouse says.
Enjoy Istanbul mate. Need to listen to spouse first of course...
Love the shots with dad and Micah, such tremendous memories you all are making! ❤
True, your Turkey video was great. with the new video. I see an amazing side of Turkey with food. Now excited to visit their country.
Hi mark- love your videos. This is a great way to learn about food history & culture. When i was in 7 th grade my social studies teacher would take about 2 weeks & teach us about a certain country. When we were finished w/ that country he would make an authentic meal from that country. He would play music from that country & decorate his classroom w/ flags,posters etc. alot of fun & it got me trying new foods. Keep up the good work.
Prob the most consistently nice guy on RUclips
IM GLAD YOU CAME BACK TO TURKEY AND ENJOY ONCE AGAIN THAT YUMMY FOOD. AND OF COURSE TALK TO THIS FRIENDLY PEOPLE. SO PROUD OF YOU MARK!!! BY THE WAY, MICAH IS SO BIG AND YOUR LOVELY WIFE AS PROFESSIONAL AS ALWAYS. A BIG HELLO FROM MÉXICO!!!
31:40 That’s true. Every time when I eat this dish I feel like Terrence Hill eating Mexican Beans from the movie "They call me trinity" (Lo chiamavano Trinità)😅😂
OMG!!!...You took me back to my childhood in Nigeria, watching that movie as a kid. YES!!! great! movie. He ate all the beans and then tells them to hit each other on top of the head and see who's left standing. HILLARIOUS! Thank you! for this exciting trip down memory lane.
Meanwhile I’m over here dumping a spoon of honey in my yogurt to feel like I’m there haha 😂 you the manz mark!
Nice one Marky! I miss Turkey, was there wayyy back in 2006 🙌
Mark, glad you're back again. I hope you have a nice holiday.
This makes me so happy! Thank you!
Fantastic compilation of Turkish foods mark, everything looks so awesome. What a wonderful experience to be able to travel the world and eat full time 😍
You are very lucky that there is a guide for food and culture who speaks excellent english around you :) Many people do not really understand the details and the meanings of foods but you have a great opportunity to do so.
Going to Istanbul for one week on Sunday. So this upload has come at a great time! I cannot wait, I’m so excited!
Yessss finally he is back in Turkey
love the food and description of yours
You always make us so happy Mark!
Seeing this 1 week before my 1st time to Turkey🙏Super informative to realize the origins of food from Asia, to Europe...and then America...i'm from Puerto Rico...and also travel for food!👌💃🏼...sooo many similarities with food close to home!...Teşekkür Ederim...with right hand in my heart!
Everytime i watch i run to the kitchen to make some sandwiches, pizza, shoarma, fried chicken etc.. getting hungry of it... love the vids btw. Instanbul is awesome
Was planning a trip to Asia and flight had a long layover in Istanbul(20+ hrs), this type of food tour seems a great way to experience the city.
I've subscribed many years Mark! I watch almost every video. :) Thank you! I was born in Istanbul. I am living Kadıköy Area and never heard Nisan balık. We were there today. We ate shrimp, calamari and enginar. That was awesome. Great discovery for us. Loves from İstanbul.
I hope to meet you, and your lovely family some day, Mark! Every video brings me happiness as if I'm there with you guys ~Much Love,Rae❤
Great video Mark sir !!
