Lahmacun in Istanbul costs TRY 40–80 where residents buy it, and TRY 80–180 in the parts of the city built around visitors.

Menus in Istanbul that appear in multiple translations, with photographs, and with a host outside are priced for people who will not return. The neighbourhood equivalent has no reason to price that way.
A useful mental threshold: anything at or under TRY 80 is a normal price for lahmacun in Istanbul. Around TRY 60 is the typical everyday figure. Above TRY 80 you are paying the visitor rate, whether or not the venue is pleasant.
