Köfteci Yusuf Podium AVM

About Köfteci Yusuf Podium AVM

Köfteci Yusuf is one of Turkey's best-known grilled meatball (köfte) chains, and this branch is inside Podium AVM, the shopping centre in Macun Mahallesi, Yenimahalle, on Ankara's western side. The chain was founded in 1996 by Yusuf Akkaş in İznik, in Bursa province, as a restaurant serving traditional grilled köfte, and it has since grown to more than 300 branches in 43 provinces. In 2013 the company set up its own meat-processing and packing facilities, and its restaurants added butcher counters selling packaged meat products alongside the grill. Like the shopping centre around it, the branch opens from 10:00 to 22:00, which makes it a convenient stop for a köfte plate while shopping at Podium. Enquiries go through the chain's central number, 444 61 62.
