Ejder Restaurant
A family-run eatery next to the Byzantine Aqueduct operating since 1988, with charcoal-grilled skewers being the most recommended specialty.
Run by the Ejder family since 1988, this small restaurant features a terrace on the Cengiz Topel pedestrian street, right next to the Byzantine Aqueduct; some diners mention being able to spot nesting storks. The owner often cooks and serves the food himself, grilling meats over small charcoal braziers. The small skewers (çöp şiş) are highly recommended, and they also offer Adana kebab, stuffed eggplant, and various mezes; ask the staff for vegetarian options. 2026 reviews praise the tender meat and reasonable prices, though service can sometimes be slow in this small shop. Sources do not provide an exact average price. Within walking distance of all parts of Selçuk town center.
