About Meşhur Kuyu Kebapçı Ali Usta

Meşhur Kuyu Kebapçı Ali Usta is a small kebab house on Atatürk Caddesi in central Tire, a short walk from the town square, specialising in Tire's kuyu kebabı. This is meat slow-cooked in a pit oven and then chopped on the board, a dish locals often call tak tak kebabı after the sound of the cleaver, and in Tire it is traditionally eaten early in the day, often with a bowl of soup. The shop's own Instagram account presents it as a traditional Tire flavour carried on from the old days, with soup, kebab and menu sections, and posts regularly. It is a simple, no-frills local eatery rather than a restaurant for a long meal, and is best visited in the morning, when the kebab is freshly out of the oven. Combine it with a walk through Tire's covered bazaar and the busy Tuesday market.
