Köfteci Mümin
An affordable meatball shop near the harbor, popular with students and locals; meatballs come with bulgur pilaf and a free ayran.
Located in the old seaside part of Kemalpaşa near the harbor, the small shop was taken over by its current owner, İsmail Cem, from his mentor Mümin. He later opened a branch in Kepez. The grilled meatballs are spicy, in the style of Adana and Osmaniye, and come with bulgur pilaf, tomato, onion, and greens. Every serving includes a free glass of ayran. In 2025 a serving cost about TRY 200 and a sandwich about TRY 100, which makes it excellent value and popular with students. Some reviews say the meatballs are a bit thin and dry. It is a few minutes' walk from the Clock Tower.
