On the pedestrian alleyway that radiates off the back of the main square (at the end of the row of pilgrimage stalls) you'll find this small, family-run place. It serves up basic but tasty meals of köfte (meatballs), grilled chicken and kuru fasulye (haricot beans cooked in a spicy tomato sauce), all with rice and salad.
