Well, it's not the good old days anymore, you know. We are missing the glory days of Asmalı Mescit as a lively, magical place that never disappointed. However, someone said&nbsp;“We should not be hopeless, we are better than this!” and we agreed. We know Asmalı Mescit will come back eventually. We’ll dance till the first light of the morning, the galleries will reopen, Istanbulites will redefine the culture here. Maybe even Babylon will come back. If we can dream it, we can do it.And the good news is out of Asmalı Mescit this month!

If you ask Berkok, one of our food writers, he recommends Azgın Tavuk&nbsp;(chicken) because of its pita and sauce. If you ask me as a vegetarian, I say go for the French fries and try mac &amp; eski kaşar. If you are open to new experiences, of course.&nbsp;What to order:&nbsp;Azgın Tavuk and French friesWhere:&nbsp;Asmalı Mescit Jurnal Street No: 2aHeads up:&nbsp;It is open between 12 p.m. and 1 a.m.&nbsp;
