It has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand and we decided to stop by for a quick bite. The Lahmacun was made fresh and was light and aromatic. It could've used more meat for my liking, and I wish the toppings plate came with pickled cabbage or onions which is still traditional; I've never seen Lahmacun be eaten with lettuce so maybe that's the "tourist option". The Sarımsaklı İsotlu Lahmacun is basically the same thing with garlic & hot pepper if you're looking for more flavor. And of course, you can't eat with this without washing it down with a classic Ayran drink! I wish I tried their grilled meats but maybe next time!

Got here around 1 on a Thursday afternoon and it was quite although it slightly picked up by the time I was done. Spacious and mostly indoor seating. Ordered a Spicy Kebab and a lamb shish kebab for take away. Started with the Lavas bread freshly made in the wood fire oven. So light, hollow ballon resemblance and hot, paired perfectly with the delicious Haydari (yogurt sauce.) The spicy kebab (the most popular for the Turkish as my server shared) was similar to one that I had in Bodrum. Perfectly grilled, tender beef and spiced just right-seasoned and not really spicy. The Lamb shish kebab was also very tender and just right grilled. Loved the rice that came with the order. Paired it all with an Efes-local Pilsner Beer-crisp, cold and tasty. Service was attentive and upbeat. Make the short walk to this spot for some authentic, local deliciousness!

The prices are super reasonable and fair as they are located outside the "tourist zone". We got the Mixed Pide to start which is essentially a flatbread topped with a bunch of ingredients. It was super filling from the toppings but the pide itself was surprisingly thin. It's made fresh and you can tell with each bite. My favorite was the Mixed Kebab which is an assortment of meats over bulgur pilaf and roasted vegetables. Everything was juicy, smoky, and well-seasoned. The grilled chicken wings and adana kebab were my favorites and I absolutely loved pairing it with the onions with sumac. For two people, this was the right amount of food to split and I love that there were tons of protein options here. Staff were friendly, service was quick, and we were seated right away. Solid lunch spot!

At this point I've pretty much had everything on their menu but I'll list a few of my favorites below. // Zeytinyagilar - Olive Oil Dishes 1. Enginar (Artichokes) - This has to be one of my favorite Turkish dishes. Make sure you're getting this in the May - July timeframe when artichokes are in-season in Turkey. Otherwise there is the risk that you're getting canned/ preserved artichokes which don't taste as fresh. 2. Yaprak Sarma (Domades) - This are always a solid choice, not the canned kind that you usually find in stores. 3. Fasulye (Green Beans) - Probably one of my favorite turkish dishes. // Meat Kebabs 1. All of them are good period. // Other 1. Lahmacun (turkish pizza with minced meat) - Yusuf makes the best Lahmacun I've had in Alacati hands down. 2. Ciftlik Kebabi - A bunch of delicious meat which have been roasted with vegetables. 3. Manti - Always home made and delicious. Get this topped with yogurt and butter. 4. Firin Makarna (Macaroni in the Oven) - Turkish style baked mac and cheese. Pure deliciousness. // Dessert 1. Kazandibi (bottom of kazan, no good english translation) - This is turkish caramelized milk pudding. I have no idea what Yusuf does to make this so delicious but this is the best kazandibi i've had period. 2. Asure (noah's pudding) - Also a solid choice here This is a dessert congee made with various fruits and nuts.

The Eski Koy Special Mixed Kebab is well worth it for two people and takes the decision-making out of the ordering process since it has a good assortment of everything. All the meats were phenomenal! They were tender, juicy, buttery, well-seasoned, charred, smoky, and mouthwatering. The grilled chicken wings blew me away while the adana kebab literally melted in my mouth. The lamb chops were so succulent and the chicken & beef skewers were perfectly cooked. I preferred this meal with white rice as opposed to their bulgur pilaf. Their white rice is buttery, pillowy, and so fragrant. I like that this special came with 2 types of mini lahmacun which was a nice change in texture and also very tasty! We ended with their Kunefe w Cream which was made very well. Being Middle Eastern myself, I love Kunefe and this one was done right! It's sweet but not overly sweet, hot and crispy on the outside, creamy and gooey on the inside. It was complimented by the Turkish Tea which was fragrant and soothing. This meal hit the spot!
