While the floating fish boats at galata bridge get all the attention, hamdi restaurant nearby does authentic spicy adana that'll make you sweat. Family place near galata bridge eminonu, operating since 1960 - different vibe from the waterfront fish scene

Ask specifically for 'acili adana' spicy version with extra pul biber and chili paste. Comes with grilled vegetables and rice to cool your mouth down. About 170 lira full portion, perfect if you want heat instead of fish
