Dünya Iskender kebap restoran — Local services in Urgup

This small family run restaurant is an absolutely delicious find. We tried various dishes here and the service is lovely. The son of the owner was our waiter and he was fast and responsive. He speaks some English which is good for any American tourists like us.

To start the chicken and tiles and kayseri mantisi were great. We easily cleaned our plates and cleaned up the juices with the bread, which was refilled for us.

My favorite, though was the pottery kebab. Don’t think of it as a gimmick, it is a local dish and the meat is truly delicious and tender. Yet again. we cleaned the plates with the bread.

For dessert, we had künefe, which was homemade and delicious as well. We ended the dinner with some chai and the owner and her son were so sweet the whole time.

If you want a taste of the local dishes and have a more authentic experience with delicious food, I highly recommend this small restaurant. This place was so good we went back again the next night.

Served with sizzling sheep butter, it quickly became our new favorite meal. The staff was so warm and friendly we felt right at home. Definitely take the time to stop here if you are...

We had an absolutely lovely time at this delicious restaurant! I highly recommend the Kirimitte Tavuk (Chicken on Tiles) and they made the best mantisi (Kayseri Mantisi) that I've had my whole trip! Service was on point and the family is wonderful. Eren was a fabulous teacher and a fun time showing us how to break the pottery kebab. For dessert definitely try the kunefe! I always have a tradition of revisiting my favorite food before leaving a town and Dunya Iskender Kebap was...
