Street FoodGaziantep · 3 stops
Three close old-city stops make a study of heat: beyran, grilled liver and pistachio katmer. This is rich food, so share modest servings where possible or spread the stops over separate mornings. Check each kitchen’s current service before choosing the order. Dishes below are suggested orders. Check current menus and hours.
Follow the suggested order, at your own pace.

Kozluca Caddesi 11, Şahinbey
A note from Leo Park
At Metanet, make beyran the focus instead of adding a table of extras. Notice how the rice, meat and garlic-led broth work together, and let the bowl cool enough to taste clearly. This first stop can be a full meal on its own.
Taste broth, rice and meat in separate spoonfuls, then together. The chilli warmth is only one part of the bowl.
Çukur, Hakim Mehmet Uygun Caddesi 15, Şahinbey, Gaziantep
A note from Leo Park
Head to Ciğerci Mustafa in Çukur for the grill comparison. Ask what liver is being served and begin with a small order, especially if it is unfamiliar. Bread and the offered accompaniments can change the balance without hiding the liver completely.
Compare the browned outside and the softer centre. Build a small bread bite before adding more accompaniments.
Çukur Mahallesi, Bay Hilmi Geçidi 16/C-D, Şahinbey
A note from Leo Park
At Zekeriya Usta, ask how large a katmer portion is before ordering. Sharing gives you room to notice the thin pastry, pistachio and cream without making quantity the point. Let the hot layers settle, then start at a crisp corner.
Lift a small piece that includes pastry and filling. Notice how little dough is needed to hold the rich centre.
Places change. Check current hours before a special detour.
