Authentic Küşleme and Gaziantep Kebab

Honest portions, measured by meat.

Our minced kebab portions contain at least 200 g; küşleme, kuşbaşı and mixed kebab contain at least 170 g. In cubed-meat kebabs such as küşleme and kuşbaşı, we do not place extra pieces of tail fat between the meat cubes to increase the portion weight; the skewers contain meat between the cubes. Our minced-meat kebabs naturally contain the balanced amount of fat required by the traditional Gaziantep recipe.

Meet Yalçın Usta

Born in 1971, Yalçın Usta began learning the kebab trade at the age of eight. He spent nearly 30 years working beside one of Gaziantep’s established kebab masters, learning every stage of meat preparation and charcoal grilling.

In 2020, he took over the restaurant that is now home to Şehr-i Küşleme. Today, he continues this family tradition with his own standards for tenderness, careful preparation and warm hospitality.
