Self-Guided Sur Liver Breakfast Walk

The Self-Guided Sur Liver Breakfast Walk is an independent route through the liver grills of the walled Sur district in Diyarbakır, Turkey. No operator runs it; the visitor walks between grills and pays at each counter. Liver (ciğer) is a breakfast food in Diyarbakır, so the walk is best done in the morning and takes about 1.5 hours. The first stop is Dağkapı Ciğercisi on İskender Paşa Sokak, close to the Dağkapı (north gate) where buses and dolmuşes arrive. The second is Ciğerci Xale Meheme on Yoğurtçu Sokak, among the most reviewed liver grills in the old town. The third is Ciğerci Remzi Usta at Gazi Caddesi, Suakar Sokak No:3, near the Ulu Cami. All three serve skewered lamb liver grilled over charcoal with raw onion, pepper, tomato and flatbread, so ordering a half portion at each makes it easy to compare seasoning and cut. The route is savoury and filling; tea or ayran is the usual drink. A budget of roughly TRY 300-700 per person (about $6-14) covers three half portions and drinks. Nothing is prepaid and transit is on foot over short, mostly flat old-town streets. Opening hours have not been verified, and liver grills commonly sell out by early afternoon, so start before 10:00. Visitors who avoid offal will find the route unsuitable, though bread, salad and tea are available and Gazi Caddesi has other breakfast places.
