Tasting Notes
Kokoreççi Asım Usta is at Burak Reis Caddesi 226/A in Çamdibi, Bornova, İzmir. It has been open since 1960.
Kokoreç
Kokoreç is sold in quarter, half, three-piece, one-and-a-half and double-half sizes, as a plate in single, one-and-a-half and double portions, and as an 'atom' version.
Söğüş, mussels and dessert
Söğüş, sliced boiled lamb, comes as a wrap or on a plate, and there is a brain plate. Mussels are sold by the piece or by weight from 250 g to a kilo. Desserts are Hisarönü şambali, kaymak with Antep pistachio, sütlaç and kazandibi.
“Order a half kokoreç, or the one-and-a-half portion if you are hungry, and try the söğüş wrap.”
