Ergülün Mutfağı
Ergül'ün Mutfağı
The top choice in Doğubayazıt for abdigör meatballs, a home-style restaurant on the road to İshak Pasha Palace.
Several food guides and reviews list this as the most authentic place in town for abdigör köftesi: beef pounded into a paste on a stone with a wooden mallet, shaped into a single large meatball of over 300 grams, boiled, and served with potatoes or rice. Aşotu soup, dried apricot dolma, and homemade nut baklava are also recommended. The spacious, clean dining room suits families, and prices are affordable. The restaurant is on the roadside to İshak Pasha Palace, so eating here on the way back to town after a visit is most convenient.
Opening hours
Tuesday to Sunday 7:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m.; closed Mondays (per the restaurant's published hours)
