Dağkapı Ciğercisi
A popular grilled liver spot next to Dağkapı Square at the north gate of the Old Town. Open late, it is a convenient choice to experience the local liver-eating culture.
Grilled lamb liver is the most representative dish of Diyarbakır, and locals eat it even for breakfast. Located on Kıbrıs Street opposite Dağkapı Square, also known as Hüseyin'in Yeri, this is a highly recommended liver spot near the north gate of the Old Town. One portion consists of four skewers grilled to order. According to diner feedback, side dishes are free and refillable; wraps are also available. Prices are mid-range for the city, with a portion costing 340 TRY in mid-2025, and should be higher now.
