About Altın Kapı

Altın Kapı is a long-running döner and kebab restaurant in Alsancak, on İrfan Boyuer Sokak just off Kıbrıs Şehitleri Caddesi and close to Alsancak metro station. The restaurant says it has been serving since 1978, and an İzmir travel guide notes that it began as a small köfte shop before growing into a full restaurant with outdoor tables. Döner is the house speciality, above all İskender, thinly sliced döner served over pieces of bread with yoghurt and tomato sauce. The restaurant menu also lists köfte varieties served over döner, a mixed meat and chicken Altınkapı Special Kebap prepared for at least two people and a Mangal Special grill platter for two, while the travel guide mentions İnegöl köfte and freshly baked pide. Reservations and takeaway orders are taken by phone. Map listings give daily hours of 10:00 to 23:30, but the restaurant does not publish a timetable on a channel of its own, so check before travelling.
