The story the reviews tell
Etli ekmek arrives from Konya as flatbread transformed by fire—minced lamb or beef scattered across dough, then crowned with the sharp brightness of onions, tomatoes, and peppers. A stone oven does the essential work, turning vegetables soft and meat savory in one motion. It's the kind of dish you find casually in bakeries across central Turkey, which tells you everything about how thoroughly it belongs there.
