Tasting Notes
Kadim is at Lefkoşe Caddesi 104 in the Çamlıca quarter of Nilüfer, Bursa, and breakfast is a large part of its menu.
Breakfast and everyday dishes
Breakfast ranges from several set spreads to a gourmet plate and individual items such as cheeses, olives, honey and kaymak, söğüş and omelettes, with kuymak and pastırmalı yumurta alongside. Hot starters include okra soup with lamb, lentil soup, spiced fries and lahmacun; there are stuffed vegetables in olive oil, mezes such as herse and çiğ köfte, and several salads.
Specials, grills and the butcher’s list
The specials include İskilip dolması, lamb shank on keşkek, keşkek with ribs, oven-roasted lamb tandır and sultan pilaf with chicken or lamb shank. Mixed grills for one or two people, lamb and beef cuts sold by weight (marked as approximate), burgers and köfte, clay-pot and pan dishes, and kebabs including alinazik complete the list.
“Come for the breakfast spread, or choose the lamb shank sultan pilaf or the oven-roasted lamb tandır, and end with the pumpkin dessert with kaymak.”
