Known as “Islak Hamburger’’, the Turkish wet burger is a steamy, saucy snack that’s practically a celebrity on Istanbul’s iconic Istiklal Street. Soft burger buns are soaked in a garlicky tomato-based sauce and kept warm in a steamed glass box until served — hot, juicy, and incredibly satisfying. Don’t be fooled by its humble appearance; this burger has a cult following, especially among night owls and late-night wanderers. It’s messy, addictive, and unforgettable — everything a great street food should be.
