Kumrucu Ahmet

About Kumrucu Ahmet

Kumrucu Ahmet is a kumru shop in Kemeralti Bazaar. The kumru is the local Izmir sandwich, and here it is made to order on the griddle with a choice of toppings. Culinary Backstreets, in its April 2026 guide to Kemeralti, explains that Apo’s grilled take on the kumru became so popular that his family branched out with two shops in the bazaar, first Kumrucu Sado and more recently Kumrucu Ahmet. Ahmet runs it with his brother, sister-in-law and adult son, and the guide credits its popularity to his friendly manner, attention to detail, reasonable prices and excellent kumru.
