Şehzade Cağ Kebap

The story

Şehzade Cağ Kebap focuses on Erzurum-style lamb cooked on a horizontal spit, then sliced onto small skewers or tucked into wraps. Warm lavash, raw onion, roasted peppers, ezme, lentil soup, kadayıf dolması, and casserole buffalo yogurt fill out the narrow menu, while two skewers make a portion and the wrap carries two cağ skewers inside. The room runs at a fast clip, with a steady turnover and quick-moving service on a covered side street in Hocapaşa. Meat arrives freshly cut and richly marbled, and meals often build around repeated rounds of skewers rather than a single large plate.
