Köfte at Kotti (Kottbusser Tor). At Konak Izmir Köftecisi, juicy meatballs are served in crispy bread rolls with fresh salad and homemade sauces. The secret to the good flavour and success is the family recipes that make the köfte so unique.

Word has gotten around about the good quality and friendliness of the team, and at Rüyam you can easily wait a little longer for your kebab. The bread is crispy and filled to the brim with salad, roasted vegetables and meat.
