Visiting Golab for the first time? This guide introduces the Persian dishes, Turkish kebabs and meze on our menu, from a few plates to share to an individual main course. Our restaurant is inside the Ataköy Marina complex in Bakırköy, Istanbul. For current prices and the complete selection, open the Golab menu.
Start with meze
For a smooth, creamy start, choose Hummus, made with chickpeas, tahini and olive oil. Muhammara combines walnuts and roasted red peppers, while Mirza Ghasemi brings together roasted aubergine, tomato, garlic and quail egg. Sharing a few of these dishes lets the table explore contrasting textures and flavours.
For a warm accompaniment, Paçanga Böreği contains pastırma, mozzarella and coloured peppers wrapped in pastry. Browse the meze and hot starters sections to build your selection.
A first taste of Persian cooking
Zereshk Polo ba Morgh pairs chicken in sauce with saffron and barberry rice. The barberries add a tart note to the rice. If you prefer an herb-based stew, Ghormeh Sabzi combines meat, herbs and beans. Check the individual menu card to see whether rice is included or should be selected separately.

Choose a kebab or a sharing platter
Loghme Kebab is a Persian minced kebab made with beef and lamb. For a spicy option, look at Adana Kebab. The Golab Special Kebab Platter brings together Loghme, lamb chops, boneless chicken kebab and lamb neck. Ask our team to help you choose an appropriate quantity for your table.
Alongside your meal, consider Shirazi Salad, with cucumber, tomato and onion, or Persian Barberry Rice. The Persian kebab and Turkish kebab sections make it easy to compare your options.
Finish with dessert and tea
Crispy Profiteroles, with cream filling and chocolate, offer a sweet finish. Pair them with tea or a coffee from the menu, or explore the other choices in the dessert section.
