Mardin kebab is one of the dishes that must be tasted when visiting Mardin.

On the first night we went to Mardin, there was a shabby kebab restaurant that we saw by chance and entered. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember the name of this kebab shop, but both the conversation and the Mardin kebab we ate was very good. Or, with the tiredness of the road and the happiness of finding kebabs at a late hour, it was very nice for us. In old Mardin, on the main road, next to the entrance of Hasan Ayyar Bazaar, it was a tiny kebab shop, a place with its own fireplace, I'm sure there are people who know. If anyone knows or finds it, can they add it as a comment to the article?

The name of the place where we stopped for both a meal and a coffee break in the following days and we were satisfied with the food. Leylan Cafe This cafe is right across the Reyhani Pavilion hotel. You can also eat Mardin kebab here. You can also choose a large and spacious place, garden or interior.

Another option for eating kebab is Master Yusuf, again an affordable place in the garden in the center of Old Mardin.

Stuffed Ribs

Cercis Murat Mansion is one of the first places that come to mind when Mardin is mentioned. We ourselves are famous for eating stuffed in the ribs. Cercis Murat MansionWe throw it at. When we eat it, we don't have room for anything else, although it would be good to try other dishes. They also have a tray where you can taste all of the Mardin dishes served on small presentation plates. Might be a better option to taste all the dishes. Cercis Mansion also has a branch in Istanbul, of course, on-site dining is always different.

There is also traditional music here during the busy season, but we couldn't come across it because it was a quiet period when we went.

Almond candy

You will see many almond candy shops on the main street in old Mardin. Especially the blue one almond candy It is very popular, but apart from these, it is possible to find many different flavored ones. These colorful almond candies are perfect for both tasting and gifting.

When Mardin is mentioned, of course, one of the things that comes to mind is Syriac culture. Syriac families continue to make wine in their own homes. It would be great if you could be a guest of one of the Syriac families and try a real house wine. If you do not have a chance to drink at home, many Syriac wine It is also produced commercially, you can buy it from sales points.

  1. We had the opportunity to go to Mardin very recently (in November). They failed us in terms of hospitality and communication.
