The menu consists of liver, heart, kidney, lamb meat, chicken, all on skewers, and cooked on charcoal at the ocakbaşı. Cooked to perfection, grilled on the outside, moist inside.
The moment you chose your table, you are served a house special very spicy pepper salad with pomegranate molasses, a little tomato paste, just the right consistency to dunk your pide in. Also a big pile of red grilled very very hot-spicy local peppers. In Şanlıurfa they call pepper, isot by the way. Then your kebab arrives on a pide, and on a paper as a plate. You begin to feast yourself, wrapping the pide with all the ingredients on the table. Then you order more kebab and some more…
Delicious, simple, grilled, spicy!
