At Karadeniz Döner Asım Usta, they combine pide with another staple of Turkish cuisine: döner. They slice thin, juicy pieces of the meat from an impressively sized rotating hunk of the stuff, and then place them onto their homemade pide, served thick and soft. They begin serving this delicacy every day at 10:30 a.m., and as this humble operation is a well-respected Besiktas institution, one can typically expect lines to form out of the door around lunchtime.
