Meat and broth lifted from a bowl of beyran with a spoon

Antep's hearth.

Since 1974, now in Ataşehir.

Emmi lit this hearth in 1974.

Everyone knows our grandfather Mehmet Cankesen as Emmi. He founded Dürümcü Emmi in Nizip in 1974. We came to Istanbul in 1989, first to Üsküdar. In 1999 we opened our shop in Kadıköy. The Gypsy Girl of Zeugma was on the sign, and there was a queue at the door. For 52 years the same family has run the kitchen. Today that is us, Emmi's grandchildren.

In Antep it is eaten in the morning. It reaches your table still boiling in its bowl.
