Kebapçı Yusuf Usta
An affordable kebab spot opened in 2001, where Mardin kebab skewers and grilled liver are favorites among locals.
Operating since 2001, the restaurant is now in the Yalım district on the road toward Midyat, outside the old town, and has a spacious dining room. Its signature Mardin kebab skewers come in original, spicy, pistachio, or walnut flavors, served with warm flatbread, chili sauce, sumac onion salad, and raw meatballs (çiğ köfte). The grilled liver is also well known. Reviews generally praise its value and flavor, and it has more than 2,000 reviews on Google. It is about 1.5 km from the old town's main street, so you will need a taxi or minibus. It is not within walking distance of the old town.
