The köfte is very famous in Akçaabat, actually Akçaabat is known for its köfte-meatballs-. Nihat Usta was another bad experience on the road. We had to stop there thinking all those reputation was worth a bite. Surprise surprise! Köfte was tasteless, greasy and cold, the beans of the piyaz were mixed variety with undercooked ones, they were actually almost raw. I tried to change the piyaz, the server did not believe it was undercooked… Will not return.

Sorry, but no: Çardak Pide – Trabzon
Trabzon is very well known for its pide. We had only one lunch and one dinner in the city, we chose the “very very best pideci” for lunch, result : a huge disappointment simmered in a lot of sadness! Çardak Pide has nothing to offer! The pide is their specialty. The cheese has no taste or smell, the kıymalı pide we had was like eating paper. The kuşbaşılı pide… the only think I remember is the burnish of butter, not the taste, forget about the meat and the rest!
A place with a name, that is all they have. Will not return!
