Tuzlama is a specific type of tripe soup in Turkish cuisine, distinguished by the cut of the tripe used. Unlike standard İşkembe Çorbası, Tuzlama is made with the thickest, most substantial parts of the tripe, cut into large, chunky pieces. This gives the soup a heartier texture and a more robust mouthfeel. It is cooked slowly with garlic and served with a vinegar-garlic sauce (sirke-sarımsak) to cut through the richness. Often enjoyed as a late-night meal after a night out or as a restorative breakfast, Tuzlama is a beloved staple in specialized tripe soup restaurants (işkembeci). Its creamy, rich broth and tender meat make it a comfort food par excellence.

The offal soups here offer options like seasoned or cooked in their own broth, something most soup places don't have. The one I had was cooked in its own broth. It has a sticky, collagenous texture. The salted offal was well-cooked. It's worth coming here for the soup.

The salting was different from usual, but delicious. It remained light in color. The salting pieces were cooked well, not gummy. You can add tomato sauce and garlic to your liking. The accompanying dishes are quite generous; even those alone would have been enough. Perhaps it's because of our high spirits, but both the soup and the place were excellent. I recommend them.
