Özgül Kebap Şişçi İbo

Özgül Kebap Şişçi İbo is a neighbourhood grill at 17. Sokak 2/C in the Elmalı area of Muratpaşa, Antalya, known for piyaz and şiş köfte at local prices. It sits well away from the Kaleiçi tourist core, in a residential district where the clientele is predominantly Turkish. The cuisine is Antalya-style grill: tahini-dressed piyaz, charcoal-grilled şiş köfte and a wider kebab and mixed-grill selection than the pure köfte specialists offer. Piyaz was reported at around 230 TRY in 2025, a useful benchmark for the venue's pricing. There is no chef or Michelin context; this is a working-city şişçi (skewer grill) where the grill itself is the main feature. The signature dishes are the piyaz, the şiş köfte and the mixed grill, typically served with flatbread, grilled tomatoes and peppers, onion and sumac. The dining room is simple and functional, with a lively, informal atmosphere, moderate noise and rapid turnover at lunch and early evening. Dress is casual. Drinks are usually ayran, tea, soft drinks and, at some grills, a limited alcohol offer that should be confirmed locally. Prices are around 180 to 420 TRY per person (roughly 4 to 9 USD), so the venue is among the better-value meals in Antalya. Reservations are not normally needed, and visitors can walk in, although larger groups may wish to call ahead. Opening hours vary by season. Reaching Elmalı from the old town requires a taxi or local bus, so it suits travellers who want to see everyday Antalya and eat at residents' prices rather than visiting only the historic centre. Pairing the meal with a stroll through the surrounding neighbourhood gives a view of the city away from the resort strip.
