About Kazanlı Meşhur Kavurmacı 1956

Kazanlı Meşhur Kavurmacı is a kavurma restaurant in Kahramankazan, the town north-west of central Ankara long known simply as Kazan. According to its own website, it was founded in 1956 by Ahmet Çavuş, the great-grandfather of the family that runs it today, and its cooking has been popular with diners ever since. Kavurma, meat slowly cooked in its own fat, is the speciality. The restaurant says it combines the traditional Central Anatolian style of kavurma with methods of its own: beef foreshank is carefully prepared, then cooked for three to four hours in copper pots on a traditional kitchen range fired with oak. Reviews on Tripadvisor from 2025 and 2026 mention kavurma served with rice pilaf and the restaurant's own home-made yoghurt, soft and flavourful meat, candied pumpkin dessert (kabak tatlısı) and a clean, tidy dining room. Some reviewers found the bill high for the portion sizes and noted that extras offered at the table are charged. The restaurant is on Ankara Bulvarı in the Satıkadın neighbourhood, and it takes reservations by phone. It is also on Instagram as meshurkavurmaci1956.
