Hodan

Hodan is a contemporary restaurant in Nişantaşı, folded into the polished grid of Şişli where the listing places it simply within the neighborhood rather than on a single storefront slogan. The room sits among the district’s evening traffic of boutiques and side-street tables, reading as a dining room first and a scene second.

With no chef name attached to the early notices, the clearest signal is the kitchen’s own register: modern Anatolian cooking built around seasonal produce, plates that shift with the market rather than a frozen carte. The interior follows that logic—measured light, conversation-level sound, and a pace that suits diners who treat Nişantaşı as a habit rather than a stopover.

Oggusto filed the opening, and Instagram at hodanistanbul is the live camera for hours and small menu turns. The room is why you go, and the street is why it feels like Istanbul.
