About Leyya Pide & Kebap

Leyya Pide & Kebap is a neighbourhood pide and kebab salon on Abdülhakhamit Caddesi in the Gülveren area of Mamak. Its Instagram account, which posts regularly, sums up its approach with the line "we add our love to your food" and invites diners to the salon as the Leyya pide and kebap family, preparing what it calls its best flavours for its customers. As the name says, the menu is built around pide from the oven and kebabs from the grill. One of the dishes the restaurant itself promotes is the Leyya Karışık Izgara Tepsisi, a mixed grill tray of çöp şiş (small skewers), chicken, bulgur pilaf and fresh garnishes, meant for sharing at the table. Diners on Yandex Maps single out the lahmacun and the kaşarlı pide with melted cheese, and one reviewer also praised the işkembe (tripe soup) and the grilled köfte. Not every review is glowing: some find the pide base on the thick side. The restaurant offers takeaway and delivery, according to its Instagram profile, and it also takes orders through Yemeksepeti. It is a casual local spot rather than a destination restaurant, useful for a filling meal if you are in Gülveren or nearby Abidinpaşa. Phone ahead for orders; the Yandex listing gives a landline for the salon.
