A specialty of the city of Bursa, İskender kebap is named after a butcher called İskender Efendi, who first prepared this flavorful dish. It consists of thinly sliced lamb that is grilled and combined with a spicy tomato sauce and pita bread, while melted sheep butter and yogurt are traditionally drizzled over the dish at the table. It is recommended to pair this kebap with şıra, a Turkish beverage that is known to aid digestion.

The taste is great, the meat is tender and not dry at all, and it goes wonderfully with the sauce. However, we missed out on the visual appeal because they didn't pour the sauce in front of us. It's filling, and they also serve complimentary salad and dip. It's excellent value for money, I recommend it.

The food is as delicious as the photo, and the oil is nice. The peppers were a little burnt. Some of the meat didn't quite fall off the fork, I think it was overcooked, but the flavor was good and I liked it. I might go again.

The taste of İskender was good, I had eaten İskender better, I would have been happier if they had poured the butter on top in front of me on the table, the rice that came with İskender was not tasty, I did not finish it. The concept of Aspava is nice, everything on the table is served, more is added as you eat, the mushrooms with cheese and butter fries in a pot are very good, the tzatziki and çiğ köfte are weak. Finally, when you are full, you get kunefe with ice cream and halva, the ice cream is good but the desserts are okay. The place is full, sometimes you have to wait in line.

we paid 650 per person for an iftar menu, not just the kebap. The doner was a bit undercooked but understandable given that it was around iftar time and it was very crowded. The sauce was a bit sweet. Not the best but worth the price
