About Pirzolacı Yusuf Usta

Pirzolacı Yusuf Usta is a meat restaurant on Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu Caddesi in Kızılırmak, on the Çukurambar side of the Söğütözü business district, specialising in the cooking of Harput, the historic old town of Elazığ in eastern Anatolia. The restaurant invites guests to try traditional Harput dishes and the house sauce of Yusuf Usta, which it presents as flavours not found elsewhere in Ankara, and its posts use the line "Harput'tan gelen lezzet" (the taste that comes from Harput). Diners on Ekşi Sözlük note that the Çukurambar restaurant was opened by Yusuf Usta himself and brings the Elazığ original to the capital. As the name says, lamb chops (pirzola) are at the heart of the menu. Reviewers on Tripadvisor describe ordering Harput kebab, fillet in the house sauce and a special kebab, with lamb chops added alongside, and the restaurant's recent posts show skewers and cuts of meat coming off the grill. The restaurant is set up for families and groups: its own posts list a VIP room, a children's play area, a baby-changing room, valet parking and separate prayer rooms for men and women. Reservations are taken on +90 312 285 75 75. The restaurant is active on Instagram (@pirzolaci.yusuf.usta), which is the best place to check current opening hours before visiting.
