Tasting Notes
Değer Söğüş is beside the entrance to Şakir İşhanı on 848. Sokak, and has a few small tables inside. Its tagline is “yemeye değer” (“worth eating”).
Prepared at the counter
Cooked head meat and brain are served with fresh tomato, parsley, onion and hot pepper. The meat and vegetables are laid on thin lavaş and rolled to order. The platter is served with the meat alongside parsley, tomato and onion.
Two serving styles
The price board lists two dishes: a wrap with 180–200 g of meat, or a plate with 300–350 g. The plate comes with onion and tomato; spices are available at the table. Drinks listed include churned ayran, bottled ayran, şalgam and fizzy drinks.
“Have the wrap with churned ayran or şalgam.”
