Street food is the most budget-friendly dining option and offers dishes like beef, chicken, lamb, and fish that are heavily spiced. Local cuisine tends to cost around $1-$2 per meal while tourist areas charge more. It's best to check price lists before ordering and note that sides like salad and drinks cost extra. For self-catering, visiting supermarkets like Sok, Bim, Tansas, and Migros allows stocking the kitchen more cheaply than eating out daily. Common Turkish dishes include beyaz peynir, kavun, acılı ezme, haydari, patlıcan salatası, and köfte.
