A liver grill on Lise Caddesi in Yenişehir, outside the walls, named by Turkish Airlines among Diyarbakır's liver specialists.
Umut Ciğercisi is a liver restaurant on Lise Caddesi in the Yenişehir district, the modern commercial centre just outside the walls of Sur. Its Google listing shows about 4.3 stars from roughly 3,200 reviews, and Turkish Airlines' food feature names it among the places for Diyarbakır's liver. The menu centres on lamb liver grilled over charcoal and served with onions, peppers and bread, plus the usual drinks of tea and ayran. Because Yenişehir is a short walk or taxi ride from Dağkapı, the venue suits visitors staying in the newer part of town who want a liver breakfast without entering the old city. A meal costs roughly TRY 300-600 per person (about $6-12). It is a walk-in restaurant; opening hours are unverified, so check on arrival.
