A small building near Democracy Square in downtown Gaziantep. Right on the border of the old and…read morenew part of the city. The Turkish word 'Kitap' means book. There are too few books inside against the wall, but they are there. Honestly there is not much space for a bookstore much less a cafe. Still, they make it work with a lot of outside seating. Cute is a good word for this cafe.

If you love Beyran, this is the place to eat. Delicious. This is a place where locals go to eat…read moreBeyran. It may sound weird to have a soup full of meat in it for breakfast (I do not blame you) but you really need to make an exception and try it. It is a must if you are a foodie and in Gaziantep.

The grilled kebabs are to die for. The chicken kebab we got two days ina row are the juiciest meat…read moreever made. The beef cube kababs were super delicious as well. A MUST stop if you're visiting this town. They have a breakfast dish called beyran, which is a mix of lamb soup, lamb meat, lamb broth, lamb fat and rice which sounded awesome. The salad was so fresh and tasty that came along with the grilled items.

We stopped by late on a Thursday night and were seated immediately. We ordered the sogan kebabi to…read moreshare and it was more than enough food for the three of us. We finished with their baklava and it was delightful. The inside is enormous and classy. It has a large downstairs and an upstairs as well so it's good for groups.
