Tasting Notes
Şirin Sofra Mantı Ev Yemekleri serves home cooking from a counter in Osmangazi. Pots and soups are prepared daily, and mantı dough is rolled on site.
Hand-rolled mantı
The mantı is rolled thin, folded into small parcels and boiled. It is served with strained yoghurt, garlic, mint, sumac and butter warmed with chilli flakes.
Daily dishes and olive-oil vegetables
The changing selection includes aubergine oturtma, chickpea bulgur pilaf and vegetable dishes such as spinach. The menu also includes chicken soup, menemen, tray börek and steamed dim sum.
Sherbet and dessert
House-made fruit sherbets are prepared with seasonal fruit and spices. The restaurant also serves halva and other syrup-based desserts.
