About Yıldız Aspava Emek

Yıldız Aspava is one of Ankara's best-known aspava restaurants, a family of döner, kebap and pide houses that grew from a single shop. According to the brand's own website, founder Hacı Yıldız, born in 1962 in Sarıkaya village in Kırıkkale, came to Ankara in 1974 and started out as a busboy at the Aspava Şöhretler pide and kebap salon. He opened his first restaurant in Kırıkkale in 1978 and in 1987 founded the Yıldız Aspava döner, dürüm, pide and kebap salon on Esat Caddesi. He credits much of his success to students, and writes that he has always told himself that those who cannot pay today can pay later, as long as young people are happy. This listing covers the Emek branch, at Bişkek Caddesi (the former 8. Cadde) No: 64/B, one of the four restaurants on the brand's branch list alongside Esat, Balgat and İncek. The branch's own website presents it as carrying the Yıldız Aspava name that dates back to 1978 and highlights its complimentary extras (ikram) and modern dining room. The brand menu centres on leaf (yaprak) döner, served as dürüm, with sauce and kaşar cheese, as İskender or on a plate, alongside kebaps such as beyti, spicy Adana and the house Aspava kebap, köfte, lamb and chicken güveç, pide with minced meat, kaşar or diced meat, and künefe for dessert.
