Kayhan Köftecisi
A family-run meatball restaurant that grew from a tiny stall, famous for its pide köfte served with butter, yogurt, and tomato sauce, and highly popular with locals.
Starting in 1999 from a tiny 20-square-meter stall, this restaurant is now run by the third generation and is located in the Eker Meydan shopping center in the Nilüfer district. The signature pide köfte features meatballs served over pide bread, topped with tomato sauce, yogurt, and roasted eggplant puree. Other options include skewered Üsküp meatballs, cured meat, and spiced potatoes with yogurt, with milk halva recommended for dessert. Complimentary appetizers like roasted garlic, onions, peppers, and bread are served before the meal. There is free outdoor parking, and it is about 7 km from the old town, making it convenient for driving or taking a taxi. In April 2026, the pide köfte was priced at 800 TL, which is pricier than average meatball shops.
