Cok Cok Thai Tunel
The original: Chef Khun Nuch, ex-Thai royal family chef, since 2006
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
The original Tunel location where Chef Khun Nuch, formerly of the Thai royal family's kitchen, has been serving twice-Michelin-listed Thai cuisine since 2006. The food is genuinely Thai, not adapted for Turkish palates, which is precisely why the target audience values it.
Editor's Tip
Khun Nuch is the reason; the original location runs the Thai-royal-family kitchen with conviction. Order the green curry and the pad krapow gai; skip the pad thai which is the touristic concession. Reserve the courtyard table when weather permits. Lunch service is calmer than dinner.
