Kebabs, steaks and burgers
Kebabs run from Adana and yağlı kara to aubergine, vegetable and walnut-and-halloumi versions. Steaks include Dallas, T-bone and New York cuts and entrecôte, and the burger list has a Steak Burger, an Ottoman Burger, a Lokum Burger and the Dede Burger.
Stone oven, sides and dessert
The stone oven makes lahmacun in Antep and Adana styles, pide and büryan. Kebab, steak and oven orders come with unlimited sides such as onion salad, ezme, mushrooms and macaroni. The Makarna Menü and the mushroom menu are listed as house specials, and desserts include pistachio kadayıf, şöbiyet and baklava.
“Order an Adana kebab or a steak, and finish with the pistachio kadayıf.”
