Dining
Kardeşler Restoran
Meat is the house speciality at this large restaurant, as the well-stocked chilled display counter and grill in the centre of the open kitchen make clear. Grab a table – the terrace is an oasis of calm in the middle of the city – and choose from the enticing array of local classics. From succulent grilled lamb cutlets with pide bread, onion, sumac and yoghurt and tomato dressings to sac tava, a sizzling meat dish alive with spices: this is the sort of abundance that foodies truly relish. It is a bonus that you can drop in for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The friendly service comes with a smile
