Dishes from the southeastern city of Antakya (Hatay) are the speciality here. Cold and hot mezes are equally delicious (try the grilled cheese), pides and lahmacun (Arabic-style pizza) are flavoursome and the kebaps are exceptional – try the succulent şiş et (grilled lamb). The set menus of mezes and a choice of main dish (₺65 to ₺105) offer excellent value.
