Profesörün Konağı

About Profesörün Konağı

Profesörün Konağı ("the Professor's Mansion") is the Gölbaşı restaurant of Sadık Usta, the kebab master known in Ankara as "the Professor", who first made his name at a restaurant on Bağlar Caddesi in Büyükesat. The restaurant bills him as "the professor of kebab" and calls itself a success story. The independent Lezzet Rehberi guide describes it as a very large restaurant whose architecture makes you feel you are in a theme park. Its hallmark is the patlıcan kebabı (aubergine kebab, also called balcanlı), which the guide rates as a match for its counterparts in Urfa; in season the aubergines come from Birecik, the usta's home region. The guide also recommends the lamb lahmacun, and notes that the kitchen makes its own pickles and brings its şalgam from Diyarbakır. Adana kebab, lamb şiş and etli çiğ köfte are also on the menu. The restaurant is in Bahçelievler Mahallesi, Gölbaşı, south of the city. For bookings, call +90 312 436 50 52.
