Uludağ Kebapçısı (Ulus Main Branch)
Uludağ Kebapçısı
An Ankara İskender kebab institution since 1956; the Ulus main branch is considered a classic of the city.
Started in 1956 on Denizciler Street in Ulus with four tables, the restaurant later expanded into a two-story venue seating 250. It now has several branches across the city, with the Ulus location as the main branch. Its specialty is İskender kebab: thin-sliced rotating-spit meat laid over bread, topped with tomato sauce and hot butter, and served with yogurt. It also serves Uludağ kebab and lamb skewers. Reviewers mostly call it an Ankara classic, though some regulars feel it isn't as good as it used to be. The restaurant is tucked into a small Ulus side street and can be hard to find. It has its own parking lot and is a walk from Ulus metro station.
