Kuzu Tandır (Lamb Tandoori) is one of the most beloved and ancient dishes in Turkish cuisine, originating from the Seljuk era. It involves roasting whole lamb or large cuts of lamb in a 'tandır' (a pit oven made of clay) for hours until the meat falls off the bone. The slow-cooking process allows the meat to cook in its own juices, resulting in an incredibly tender texture and a concentrated savory flavor. Traditionally, the lamb is suspended over coals or wood fire in the pit. In modern restaurants, it is often slow-roasted in ovens but still retains that melting tenderness. Kuzu Tandır is typically served with iç pilav (rice with liver, nuts, and spices) or simple buttery rice and accompanied by fresh onions and yogurt.

Cooked in stone oven. The lamb was cooked as it supposed to be.

This could have been better if there was not water inside the plate. I know, to make the meat not dry they use this method but i recommend the owner to serve the meat by itself without adding or tomato sauce. 

It could have more fat in it as well. But overall really nice food and taste. They also serve fresh cooked bread next to it.
