Tasting Notes
Baran Et Mangal is at İmam Niyazi Sokak 4/A in the Zeyrek quarter of Fatih, Istanbul, and is closed on Mondays.
Portions and weights
The menu works in two ways. Portion items have fixed weights: kasap köfte at 300 g, zırh kebab at 200 g, and lamb kidney, wings and skewers of chicken, veal or lamb. Other cuts are ordered by piece and priced per kilo, among them tandır ribs and shank, kasap sucuk, entrecôte and lamb chops.
Mezes and dessert
Mezes include haydari, hummus, baba ghanoush and mütebbel. Desserts are served in cooperation with Koçak Baklava, with carrot-slice baklava plain or with ice cream.
“Order the zırh kebab with a few mezes, or choose a tandır cut by the kilo for a group.”
