Çorba Sarayı

About Çorba Sarayı

Çorba Sarayı ("soup palace") is a traditional Turkish soup restaurant on Vatan Caddesi in the Pınarbaşı neighbourhood of central Sincan, in western Ankara. Its own Facebook page lists it as a restaurant that is always open, and map listings give it as open around the clock every day of the week. Like other çorbacı (soup houses) in Turkey, it centres on hearty soups that are eaten at any hour, including late at night and early in the morning. Map and review listings describe kelle paça (soup made from head and trotters) and işkembe (tripe) soup as its main dishes, alongside lentil soup, and the restaurant's own Instagram account features an "işkembe" highlight. Reviewers on Wanderlog mention reasonable prices and warn that the hot chilli served on the side is strong. Reviews on Tripadvisor and map services are mixed, so treat it as a straightforward local soup stop rather than a destination restaurant. Practical notes: the restaurant's own channels give the phone number 0312 269 35 35. Its social media accounts have not been updated recently, but map listings show reviews from 2025 and 2026.
