Restaurants in Doğubayazit

  1. A

    Yöresel Yemek Evi

    This establishment is run by an association of Kurdish women whose husbands are imprisoned. They prepare lip-smacking yöresel (traditional) meals at bargain-basement prices. Servers speak minimal English but do their best to explain the contents of their stainless-steel trays to the clueless. The döner kebap is also worth every bite.

    Hasankeyf Saklıkent Aile Kebap Lahmacun & Pide Salonu

    Serious travelling or hiking requires serious nourishment and this buzzing eatery east of the main drag gets the thumbs up for its invigorating fare - the Saklıkent kebap, with a bit of everything, will assuage all hunger pangs. The décor is a bit kitsch (a mock cavern and walls adorned with cheesy frescoes) but after so many neon-lit establishments you may find it almost stylish.

    Öz Urfa Kebap

    With its all-wood décor, this cheery little joint resembles a Swiss chalet. The food is varied and savoury, and ayran (yogurt drink) is doled out with a ladle. The small shaded terrace is a plus.

    Yakamoz Cafe

    The closest thing the town has to a groovy café (by eastern Anatolia standards). A good place to relax over a cup of tea.

    Widely considered to serve the best pide and börek (flaky pastry) in town.

  7. G

    Türkü Cafe

    The closest thing the town has to a 'smart' cafe, with a chilled-out vibe. Though it's not licensed, it may serve beer to foreigners, or you may bring your own. Snacks are available. There's live music in the evening.

    Saray Restaurant

    Locals rate this place, and it's easy to see why. The service is attentive, ingredients are fresh and prices are very reasonable for the scrumptious kebaps, pide and ready-made meals.

    Ehli Kebap

    One word describes this downtown hot spot: yum. The eclectic food – kebaps, pide and soups – is well presented and of high quality, with service and bright surrounds to match. One grumble: the two dining rooms feel a bit cramped.

  10. Doğuş Restaurant

    A bit touristy and slightly overpriced, but it's the only restaurant in town that boasts views of Mt Ararat from its upstairs terrace – invaluable.
