About Guşgana Kebap & Fırın

Guşgana Kebap & Fırın is an Adana-style kebab house serving the Çayyolu and Ümitköy area since 2001. It was founded in Ankara by the brothers Mehmet Kemal Onur and Ahmet Onur; after Ahmet Onur died in 2005, his sons Bora and Mustafa Onur carried the business on together with their uncle. Guşgana is a registered trademark, and its name is used on the menu for dishes such as the two-person Guşgana mixed kebab. In 2013 the family added its own bakery, Guşgana Fırın, so the lavash and pide served with the kebabs are baked in-house. The restaurant has since moved to larger premises on Doğan Taşdelen Bulvarı in Mutlukent, with a children's play area aimed at families. The house speciality is Adana kebab, which the restaurant says is minced by hand with a zırh (a curved cleaver) and served in raw portions of at least 140 grams. In season it makes Birecik patlıcan kebabı with aubergines brought from Mezra village in Birecik, Şanlıurfa. Other dishes include spicy lahmacun, pide with pastırma and other toppings from the stone oven, grilled köfte, liver, kokoreç and traditional soups. Guşgana keeps long hours, open every day from 08:00 until 02:00, which has made it a late-night stop in the neighbourhood, and it also delivers through its own phone line.
