Bitlisli

With its namesake derived from the southeastern province where meat is serious business, Bitlisli serves an array of different kebab dishes, including regional varieties such Kilis tava, where a thin layer of a beef/lamb mixture is spread across a shallow pan then oven-fired. One of the multiple culinary gems in and around Sirkeci's Hocapaşa Sokak, Bitlisli offers a formidable menu that is buttressed by warm, friendly service.
