Ciğerci Xale Meheme is a liver grill on Yoğurtçu Sokak in the Sur district of Diyarbakır, in the lanes between Dağkapı (the north gate) and the Ulu Cami. Its Google listing is one of the most reviewed in the old city, at about 4.0 stars from roughly 9,400 reviews, which reflects both local loyalty and steady visitor traffic. The menu is built around ciğer şiş, lamb liver cut small, skewered and cooked over charcoal, then served with onion, pepper, tomato and flatbread. As elsewhere in Diyarbakır, liver is a breakfast and late-morning meal; the shop is best visited early, before the first batch of the day runs out. Service is fast and informal and the dining space is modest, with tea and ayran as the usual drinks. A portion with a drink costs roughly TRY 300-600 per person (about $6-12). The venue operates as a walk-in business and no reservation system is known. Opening hours are unverified and should be checked on arrival. It sits within a short walk of other liver houses on Gazi Caddesi and near Dağkapı, making it an easy second stop on a liver-comparison walk.
