Enjoying prime position within the Büyük Han, Sedirhan is the lunchtime hub for day-tripping tour groups. Don't let that put you off, though. Despite the easy foot traffic, the kitchen turns out solid, typical Turkish and Cypriot dishes. The sheftalia (Cypriot sausage, şeftalı kebap in Turkish) is moist and well spiced and there are good, lighter meal options such as mantı (Turkish ravioli).
