Tasting Notes
The choice of branch depends on whether you need a quick stop or a longer sit-down. Kooperatifler is the main location; Diclekent Boulevard in Kayapınar is the alternative.
Three items, two serving styles
The choice is between kokoreç, köfte and sucuk. Kokoreç is made from lamb and comes as a wrap; the other two are served in bread.
A quick stop or more room to sit
Kooperatifler operates around the clock, which makes the main shop an option after midnight or before the day begins as well as at lunchtime. Diclekent stays open late and has a café- and restaurant-style setting with more seating, so it suits a longer sit-down.
“For a quick meal after midnight, go to Kooperatifler and start with Kokoreç Dürüm; choose Diclekent for a longer sit-down.”
