A well-known liver grill on Gazi Caddesi in Sur, just off the Ulu Cami and Hasan Paşa Hanı axis, serving charcoal-grilled lamb liver with onions, peppers and bread.
Ciğerci Remzi Usta is a liver specialist on Gazi Caddesi (Suakar Sokak No:3) in the walled Sur district of Diyarbakır, a few minutes' walk from the Ulu Cami and the Hasan Paşa Hanı. Diyarbakır is one of the Turkish cities where lamb liver is a breakfast and brunch food rather than an evening dish, and this grill is one of the best known of the Sur liver houses; its Google listing shows about 4.1 stars from roughly 7,600 reviews. The core order is ciğer şiş: small cubes of lamb liver threaded on skewers, grilled over charcoal and served with raw onion, green peppers, tomato, isot (Urfa pepper) and flatbread, often with tea or ayran. Some liver houses also offer a rolled dürüm version for eating on the move. The room is plain and quick, with turnover driven by local workers and visitors who arrive in the morning, so the best meat is typically available early and the grills can run low by early afternoon. Prices are modest by Turkish standards; roughly TRY 300-600 per person (about $6-12) covers a full portion with drinks. There is no booking system, so it is a walk-in venue; hours have not been verified, so confirm on arrival. Because several other liver grills sit within a few streets, the venue pairs naturally with a short comparison walk.
