Tasting Notes
Yıldız Aspava is at Bişkek Caddesi 64/B in Emek, Çankaya. The main dish arrives with a set of complimentary sides, and the meal ends with semolina halva with ice cream.
Döner, kebab and grills
The döner section has İskender, döner over rice, meat döner wraps and Döner Beyti Sarma, as well as a wrap with sauce, onion and kaşar cheese that the menu abbreviates as SSK. The kebab list has Adana, Abugannuş, ali nazik and small skewers, and the grill list adds köfte, mixed grill, chicken wings, chops and skewers. Clay-dish (kiremit) dishes and a pide and lahmacun section complete the main menu.
Starters, desserts and the sides
Starters include çiğ köfte, fındık lahmacun, soup of the day and fried içli köfte. Desserts are semolina halva with ice cream, katmer, künefe and cold baklava.
“The sides already fill the table, so one İskender or Adana kebab is enough; wait for the semolina halva that comes after the meal.”
