Zennup 1844
An Anatolian restaurant recreating grandmother's recipes in copper pots and earthenware, serving small portions perfect for travelers wanting to try a bit of everything.
Zennup 1844 specializes in traditional Ottoman and Anatolian cuisine, cooked in copper pots and earthenware using ingredients sourced from small-scale producers in Ahlat, Hatay, Kars, Urfa, and beyond. This is their first branch, located in the Eker Meydan shopping mall, sharing the same location as the Kayıhan Meatball Restaurant. Signature dishes include Seljuk-style roasted lamb with chestnut pilaf, Hatay-style walnut and red pepper paste with pomegranate molasses, and İspir white beans with Kayseri pastırma. Their breakfast and bread are also highly praised. Booking in advance is recommended. A fixed menu is permanently offered, so it is advisable to clarify the price before ordering. It is about 7 km from the Old Town, and parking is available at the mall.
