Köçe Kavurma

About Köçe Kavurma

Köçe Kavurma is a small family restaurant on Ziyabey Caddesi in Balgat, founded in 2023 and devoted to a single dish: beef kavurma. Its signature, repeated across its website and social accounts, is "dana kavurma" cooked for hours in bone-marrow broth (ilik suyu), which the restaurant says is made without additives. The menu is short. Kavurma comes as a served portion or in bread (ekmek arası), and there is a bone-marrow broth soup. The house invention is the "Kavurger", a burger built from the same kavurma with a spicy sour-cherry sauce, beetroot bread, cheddar and caramelised onion. Drinks include unlimited plain, spicy and mint ayran, lemonade and sour-cherry juice, plus bottled sodas, and the one dessert is a handmade Hamsiköy-style rice pudding (sütlaç). The restaurant serves every day of the week from 11:30 to 22:00 and offers takeaway; its own pages also mention group orders. It is on Ziyabey Caddesi, one of Balgat's main streets. Reservations and orders: 0312 747 00 06 or +90 507 747 00 06.
