About Evla Kebap

Evla Kebap is a long-running kebab and pide restaurant on Etlik Caddesi in Etlik, Keçiören. By its own account it opened in 1989 with the aim of combining quality cooking with economical prices, and in 2010 it was renovated from top to bottom, with a new corporate identity, a more modern interior and a kitchen designed around hygiene and presentation. The heart of the menu is kebab cooked over a wood fire: Adana, Urfa and lamb şiş kebabs come with fresh lavaş, plenty of greens and charred peppers and tomatoes. Pide is baked in a stone oven, with mince, kaşar cheese, sucuk and mixed toppings on a thin base, and lahmacun and döner are also served. Lentil and ezogelin soups, starters such as çiğ köfte and içli köfte, daily desserts, ayran and spicy or mild şalgam round out the offering. The restaurant describes an open-kitchen concept, a QR-code digital menu and a family-friendly dining room, and it takes reservations and set menus for private gatherings and celebrations. Online ordering is available through its website. Practical notes: Evla Kebap is in the Aşağı Eğlence area of Etlik, on the main Etlik Caddesi. Its Instagram profile lists daily hours of 11:30 to 22:30; it is worth checking before a late visit, especially on public holidays.
