Aya's take:
Otantik Ocakbaşı is located near Bodrum Center so expect higher prices and especially for tourists. It has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand and we decided to stop by for a quick bite. The Lahmacun was made fresh and was light and aromatic. It could've used more meat for my liking, and I wish the toppings plate came with pickled cabbage or onions which is still traditional; I've never seen Lahmacun be eaten with lettuce so maybe that's the "tourist option". The Sarımsaklı İsotlu Lahmacun is basically the same thing with garlic & hot pepper if you're looking for more flavor. And of course, you can't eat with this without washing it down with a classic Ayran drink! I wish I tried their grilled meats but maybe next time!
