Diyarbakır Lahmacun Merkezi
Tucked away in the old market behind the Ulu Mosque, this small lahmacun shop is known for its extremely thin, crispy dough and budget-friendly prices, with vegetarian options available.
Located in the old market behind the Ulu Mosque, this place can be a bit hard to find, so feel free to ask neighboring shopkeepers for directions. They only make lahmacun and pide, renowned for their extremely thin and crispy dough. About three pieces are enough for one person. They also offer meat-free vegetarian lahmacun and cheese pide. Drinks include the yogurt beverage ayran and turnip juice şalgam. On the September 2026 menu, lahmacun was around 400 TRY and pide was 420–450 TRY, which is very affordable for the area. It gets crowded at lunchtime, so service can be a bit slow. Closed on Sundays and closes early in the afternoon, making it a great spot to visit right after exploring the Ulu Mosque.
Opening hours
Mon–Sat approx. 10:30–18:00, closed on Sundays (according to the restaurant's Instagram; some directories list 08:00–19:00)
