About Urfalı Hayrağ'nın Yeri

Urfalı Hayrağ'nın Yeri is a family-run kebab restaurant on Bayındır-1 Sokak, one of the busy side streets of central Kızılay. According to its own website, it was founded in 1961 on Küçükesat Caddesi by Ahmet Fedakar, the grandfather of the present owners, and brothers Ahmet and Murat Fedakar have run it for the past 25 years, carrying on what they call a heritage of flavour handed down from grandfather to grandsons. The menu on the restaurant's site is broad. It runs from soups, kebabs, döner and şiş to saç tava, köfte, chicken, dishes baked on a clay tile (kiremitte), pide, starters, salads and desserts. The dish the house promotes most is its vali kebabı, the "governor's kebab", with an even larger "regional governor" version for anyone who thinks one portion will not be enough, and the site also makes a point of its pide. The owners say their mezes are made with seasonal ingredients, and that they set out to offer a different feel from a classic kebab house through the decoration and atmosphere of the dining room. Reservations are taken by phone on +90 312 432 08 28 or by email through the restaurant's website, and the restaurant's Instagram account lists further numbers for takeaway orders. Its location in the middle of Kızılay makes it easy to combine with shopping or sightseeing in the city centre.
