Uludağ Kebapçısı Cemal Cemil Usta is at 16. Şirin Sokak 12, opposite the old bus station (Eski Garaj), in the Ulu quarter of Osmangazi, Bursa. It has been open since 1964.
Bursa kebab
The menu is built around Bursa kebab, the local name for İskender, sold as mini, single and one-and-a-half portions. Each size also comes as an etibol version with more meat, up to 220 g in the one-and-a-half portion.
Drinks
Şıra, a traditional grape-must drink, is sold by the bottle alongside the usual soft drinks and ayran.
“Order the single portion of Bursa kebab, or the etibol version for more meat, with a bottle of şıra.”
