Haydar Usta Çiğ Börek

About the Venue

The most delicious reflection of Eskişehir's Crimean Tatar heritage, çiğ börek is served at this long-established spot with its traditional recipe — fried crisp in hot oil. It is almost impossible to leave the city without trying çiğ börek. Made by placing raw mince, onion and spices between thinly rolled dough and sealing it into a half-moon, the çiğ börek is fried at once; puffed and crisp outside, juicy and spiced within. Tradition has it eaten with ayran or a thick Tatar-style soup. With its modest, cheerful atmosphere, this is a warm address frequented all day by students and families, offering Eskişehir's most characteristic street flavour.
