The shady courtyard, with its comfy wicker seating, is a relaxed place to while away an afternoon, tucking into meze plates of spicy muhammara (dip of walnuts, bread, red peppers and lemon juice; also known as acuka or civizli biber), sigara böreği (deep-fried cigar-shaped pastries, often stuffed with cheese) and içli köfte (ground lamb and onion with a bulgur coating).
Service is slow – this is not the place to come for lunch on the run.
