Cheap and worth the try - Edit
I wasn’t a fan of the food but it was cheap and the owner gave me a free sample before ordering the spicy option without trying a free sample first, so I got some extra free food which was cool. The sauce on the wrap makes the whole meal a little too salty and sweet at the same time

Spicy Cold Wrap - Edit
This place serves wraps with Ciskofta (think cold spicy mush with pomegranate syrup) in a durum with iceberg lettuce. In 2024 100 lira for a mega, and 60 lira for a regular. The mega is pretty large - easily enough for a big rat. Tasty, though may not be too everyone's liking. Chef offers a free taste before you buy, so no complaints if you don't like it!

Local spot! - Edit
Food was delicious, didn’t see anything that wasn’t vegan (apart from milk drink in the fridge, but not for food). Confirmed vegan wrap with the man on the till.
Read morePay first then go to the food counter, I was asked how spicy I like it (a little was good for me!)
60 lira for 1 wrap - amazing value!
Seems to be super busy with locals.
They speak English which is very handy for me!

Not great - Edit
Visited as everyone seemed to rave about this place. The wraps are cheap which is good, but they are just an overly spicy mush that we didn't enjoy. Feel bad as the server was very friendly but we just didn't enjoy it sorry

Simple & traditional yummy - Edit
The bulgur portion in the dürüm is really big. I had to eat the dürüm in two sessions 😄
Read moreIt‘s literally (spicy or not that spicy) spiced bulgur with Eisberg salad and pomegranate dressing. Perfect, simple, cheap and the stuff was friendly and gave everyone in the line a bulgur sample wrapped in salad.

Cheap and cheerful - Edit
Çiğ köfte literally means raw meatball - but don't worry as there's no dead stuff involved here as the meatballs in question are 100% vegan! It's simple, honest fayre and comes served on a wrap with lettuce, lemon juice and a dash of pomegranate molasses if you fancy it. It's probably not for you if you don't like spicy food but I really enjoyed it. The long queue of locals tells you all you need to know! Either grab a stool in the small dining area or takeaway.
Read morePros: Super cheap at 40₺ for a wrap, Super popular with locals, Super tasty

Cigkofteci - Edit
Wow, what a performance! This place is so fun and definitely worth a stop. The way they put together the wraps is memorable. I liked the cig wrap but it wasn’t my favorite flavor combo. Moreover, I think it would have been better with higher quality lettuce, but I didn’t expect that for a huge ~1€ wrap (an amazing value).
