  1. A

    Selim Amca'nın Sofra Salonu

    This bright eatery outside the city walls is famous for its kaburga dolması (lamb stuffed with rice and almonds). Round it off with a devilish İrmik helvası (a gooey dessert). The saç kavurma (braised lamb) is also excellent.

    Küçe Başı Et Lokantası

    This outfit has a wide-ranging menu and original setting (the room at the back is designed like a rustic barn). Try innovative dishes like tavuk tava (deep-fried chicken meat in a flat-bottomed pan).

    Şafak Kahvaltı & Yemek Salonu

    Nosh on freshly prepared meat dishes and hearty casseroles and stuffed vegetables in this brisk Diyarbakır institution. It's also a good place to partake in a restorative morning breakfast with still-warm flatbread, luscious kaymak (clotted cream) and gooey honey. It also does superb crisp wood-fired pide.

    Kebapçı Hacı Halid

    Tasty kebaps and ready-made meals served in bright surroundings. Look for the black-and-white pictures of old Diyarbakır on the 1st floor. It's in a small pedestrianised side street off Gazi Caddesi.

    Otel Büyük Kervansaray

    Even if you're not staying in this historic hotel it's worth popping in for a meal in the restaurant, which is a converted camel stable. There's live music here most nights and, joy of joys, it's licensed.

    Meşhur Kahvaltıcı

    More expensive than the kahvaltı spots along Kıbrıs Caddesi, but worth it for the glorious ambience of the restored Hasan Paşa Hanı. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast on the balcony and feel pleased with yourself for adding Diyarbakır to your Turkish itinerary.
