My Airbnb host had suggested that I visit a popular restaurant near the apartment called Suat Usta Mersin Tantuni. They specialise in 'Tantuni' which is crushed meat that is boiled in salted water and then fried on a large pan with cotton oil.
The best way to eat tantuni, according to the owner's son, is in a durum wrap and with lemon squeezed on top of it.
I tried both the beef version and the chicken one. The $2 beef tantuni was the winner for me. The strips of beef are tender and aren't overly seasoned. There's no sauce added, so most of the flavour of the meal is coming from the beef, a nice meaty, natural taste.
Yum yum!
