As you step inside, the rich aroma of perfectly grilled meat fills the air, tempting your taste buds and eliciting hunger pangs. The highlight of the menu is undeniably their signature cağ kebab, which features grilled skewered lamb that is both succulent and bursting with flavor.

While the menu may be succinct, offering just a couple of kebab options alongside sides like lentil soup and a mixed salad, the simplicity only enhances the authentic dining experience, as highlighted by Zilan Tasdemir.
Don’t miss the chance to indulge in warm, freshly baked Walnut Kadayif, a delightful treat that floats on the tip of your tongue, offering a sweet reprieve after all that savory goodness.
