Meşhur Kebapçı Hacı Halid
Established in 1940 and now run by the third generation, this historic eatery changes its menu daily, rotating through dozens of Diyarbakır home-style stews and kebabs throughout the year.
Established in 1940 and now in its third generation, this restaurant is located in Çiftehan Alley off Gazi Street in the Old Town, very close to Hasan Paşa Hanı. In addition to skewers and lüle kebab, it serves different local stews daily, rotating through 50 to 60 varieties over the year. Common dishes include Diyarbakır casserole, grilled lamb ribs, and lamb neck. After Friday prayers, they serve a lamb dish nicknamed "lobster" that usually sells out in about ten minutes. Local guides classify it as mid-range, and some media call it budget-friendly, though menu prices for 2026 have not been verified. It is within walking distance of the Old Town.
