Kızılkayalar (Kadıköy)

Kızılkayalar is one of Istanbul's best-known names in wet-burger culture — according to the brand's own account, a hamburger chain with more than fifty years of history that has spread across the city's most popular districts. The Kadıköy branch sits on Mühürdar Caddesi in Caferağa, one of the district's busiest stretches. Alongside the brand's signature wet burger, the menu covers meat and chicken döner wraps, sandwiches sold under the name Patso, toasted sandwiches, and a drinks line built around fresh fruit juice, house-made lemonade, ayran made from Bandırma yoghurt, and tea. That same listing repeats across several independent menu sources, and none of them carry an alcoholic drink or a pork product — the offering runs entirely on burgers, döner, and non-alcoholic drinks. The branch runs from seven in the morning to three at night on weekdays, stretching past midnight to five on weekends, hours that have made it as much a fixture of Kadıköy's late-night circuit as of its daytime foot traffic.
