Michelin-recommended chef reinterpreting Turkish gastronomy in a garden oasis
Chef Cigdem Seferoglu's Michelin-recommended kitchen reinterprets Turkish gastronomy with seasonal local produce. Set in a garden courtyard off Hayriye Caddesi in Galatasaray (Firuzağa), in the basement of the historic Cezayir building, Hodan delivers refined modern Turkish cooking in an atmosphere that balances sophistication with the neighborhood's bohemian warmth.
Reserve the garden table, the indoor room is correct but generic; the garden is where the kitchen's seasonal menu makes sense. Order the chef's tasting and the natural-wine pairing; à la carte underuses what the chef is actually doing. Tuesday-Thursday is when the kitchen is at its most ambitious.
