Radika
Koşuyolu's Aegean meyhane, a proper meze cabinet and a neighborhood that keeps it to itself.
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed July 2026
Radika has spent years as Koşuyolu's window onto the Aegean: a meze cabinet you choose from directly, radika and other Aegean herbs handled the İzmir way, karides güveç and grilled octopus as the standing orders. The clientele is the neighborhood itself, which has quietly kept the place off the tourist maps. It belongs to the small canon of Anatolian-side meyhanes that food writers keep on their own lists rather than in their columns.
Editor's Tip
Walk the meze cabinet before ordering anything; the Aegean herbs and the karides güveç are the spine of the meal. Koşuyolu parking is tight in the evening; come by taxi.
