About Çorbacı Niyazi

Çorbacı Niyazi is one of the long-standing soup houses of Polatlı. According to a feature by the local newspaper Polatlı Duatepe Haber, Niyazi Usta brought his well-known işkembe (tripe) soup to Polatlı in 1955, and the business has kept the same address ever since. Locally he is remembered as the father of tripe soup in the town. The shop is now run by Nedim İşler and his son, who the newspaper says carry on the tradition with the same care. Preparation of the soup starts before dawn, at around five in the morning, so that it reaches the tables fresh. Tripe and paça (trotter) soups are what the place is known for. Reviewers on Tripadvisor also mention kelle paça, mercimek (red lentil) and ezogelin soups, well-judged sauces for the soup, fair prices and tea offered to guests, and a review from September 2026 thanks Nedim, the owner, who also serves the tables himself. The business directory Bulurum lists it under the name Çorbacı Niyazi (Nedim İşler) on Altay Caddesi in the Cumhuriyet neighbourhood of central Polatlı. Opening hours are not published.
