Tasting Notes
Ünlü Helvacı ve Pilavcı Engin Usta is at Feraizci Sokak 12 in the Alacamescit quarter, close to Heykel. It is closed on Mondays.
Pilaf and süt helvası
Pilaf comes with tomato, chicken, liver, kavurma or as a full mixed portion, in small, one and one-and-a-half sizes, and prices include chickpeas and tomato. Süt helvası is sold in the same three sizes, next to cheese dessert, rice pudding and milky kadayıf, and yoghurt is listed separately.
“Order a small mixed pilaf and then a small süt helvası, and you have tried both of the shop’s trades in one sitting.”
