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!

The eggplant had a good smokey flavor. The cheese stuffed peppers which were medium spicy (green items in center of picture) were our favorite of the items. We ordered the Çökertme Kebab based on the waiter's recommendation that it was a regional specialty (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/balkan-restaurant-mu%C4%9Fla?select=btbMA9T-I7n53i0e3AZgdw#TvPdS1rIL7OqvSnHDrOo7A).

Tasty yogurt. Mostly tender meat with a few tough pieces. Good flavor overall; I would order this again.

The prices are super reasonable and fair as they are located outside the "tourist zone". We got the Mixed Pide to start which is essentially a flatbread topped with a bunch of ingredients. It was super filling from the toppings but the pide itself was surprisingly thin. It's made fresh and you can tell with each bite. My favorite was the Mixed Kebab which is an assortment of meats over bulgur pilaf and roasted vegetables. Everything was juicy, smoky, and well-seasoned. The grilled chicken wings and adana kebab were my favorites and I absolutely loved pairing it with the onions with sumac. For two people, this was the right amount of food to split and I love that there were tons of protein options here. Staff were friendly, service was quick, and we were seated right away.
