Modern fusion food in an Art Nouveau setting

Noteworthy for: Changa means 'mix' in Swahili, nodding towards the international fusion food inspired by flavours from all over the globe.

Glamorous Changa is spread over four floors of a 109 year old Art Nouveau townhouse near Taksim. The décor is stylishly minimalist with special details such as the retro chairs, local artwork, hand-painted walls surviving from 1903, and a trademark glass floor overlooking the kitchen so guests can watch the chefs cooking below.

Under the consultancy of renowned Kiwi chef, Peter Gordon, Changa's Turkey-meets-the-Pacific Rim dishes don’t disappoint. The menu changes with the season, but if you can, try the mushroom stuffed hınkal (Georgian dumpling) with Antakya goat’s yoghurt sauce and lapsang souchong tea leaves, or Antakya çökelek cheese crusted and deep fried beef tongue with red cabbage salad and Maraş Sumac molasses. For dessert, the truffles with tahini filling are a chocaholic’s delight.
