Canim Ciğerim

My wife and I have been going to Canim Cigerim in Taksim for the past four years; the reason we always return to this well run establishment is because the food is always so fresh and delicious and the whole dining experience is hassle free and inexpensive. There is ‘no menu’ which I always like for some reason; perhaps it indicates that the owner and the chefs know how to serve one or two alternatives really well so why mess around; basically this is how it goes; you sit down at simple wooden tables, busy waiters bring an assortment of fresh herbs to chew on while you wait patiently for either barbecued lamb kebabs or liver for the bold, fresh spicy tomato ezme topped off with pomegranate syrup, an array of charred veg; the barbecued onions are my favorite; and piles of thin lavas bread; then it’s time to make your own tasty wraps; I always opt for a lamb and liver combo with plenty of tomato ezme and some crunchy fresh rocket. For die hard kebab enthusiasts or even travelers who are just intent on experiencing some good authentic Turkish food Canim Ciğerem represents an invaluable inside tip.
