Tasting Notes
Kaburgacı Ziyafettin Mimarsinan is on the E-5 (Londra Asfaltı) at No. 44, Mimarsinan Merkez. It is closed on Mondays.
Ribs and Adana-style grill
The list is short and meat-led. Ribs come both on skewers (kaburga şiş) and bone-in (kemikli kaburga). Other grills are yağlı kara (lamb leg), küşleme in lamb and beef, zürbiyen and Adana açması. Liver skewers and tabla lahmacun are among the recommended dishes.
Dessert
Dessert is Adana sarma, a rolled pastry made either with pistachio or with walnut.
“Order the rib skewers and the bone-in ribs to compare them, add a liver skewer, and finish with the pistachio Adana sarma.”
