Described as 'life-changing' and 'epic,' this specialty features doner meat that is 'silky in one bite and crispy in the next,' served over bread soaked in tomato sauce and 'generously slathered with melted sheep butter' at the table.

Start with

Lamb Ribs

Consistently cited as a standout on a menu where lamb 'comes diced, minced, from chops to ribs'; they are praised for being tender, smoky, and melting off the bone.

Described as one of the 'biggest bargains west of the Bosphorus,' these paper-thin flatbreads are fresh from the wood-fired brick oven and liberally covered with minced lamb.
