Kanatçı Emek

About Kanatçı Emek

Kanatçı Emek is a long-running grill house on Kazakistan Caddesi, on the Emek side of Bahçelievler in Çankaya. Its name says it all: "kanatçı" means a wing specialist, and the restaurant bills itself as "Ankara's wing flavour", drawing on what it describes as 24 years of experience. The star of the menu is chicken wings cooked patiently over the coals and finished with the house sauce, alongside other grills and kebabs. Evenings take on a meyhane mood, with cold meze and hot starters such as paçanga böreği (pastrami pastry rolls), pan-fried liver, prawns, calamari and meat-stuffed chard leaves, and rakı and other drinks are served. For lunch, a set menu runs from 12:00 to 18:00: a grill with chips, salad, mixed pickles, ayran or şalgam and unlimited tea. Football is a big part of the atmosphere. The restaurant shows Süper Lig and European matches live, with a screen at every table, so expect a busy, sociable room on match nights; booking ahead is a good idea. The venue's directory profile lists it as open daily from 11:00 until 01:00, and it also offers takeaway.
