Mixed mangal platter with sizzling lamb and chicken skewers over charcoal
Sound

Mangal

Mixed platter.
No arguments.

Adana, lamb şiş, chicken wings, köfte — the whole mangal sharing platter arrives on a wooden board with flatbread and four dips. Order it for two. Fight over the last Adana.

Hands tearing open puffed lavash with steam escaping from the crack
Touch

Ekmek

Blistered, bubbling,
still breathing.

Pide pulled from the stone ocak and torn open at the table. The crust resists for half a second, then gives. Steam escapes in one long exhale. There is no better bread in this city.
