From Syriac Kitchens to Our Table: What to Eat in Midyat

The millennia-old food culture of Tur Abdin is alive and well on Midyat’s tables. Highlights to try at our restaurant and around town:

• Kaburga dolması: oven-roasted lamb ribs stuffed with spiced rice — the region’s celebration dish.
• Perde pilavı: "veiled" rice with chicken and almonds baked in a thin pastry shell.
• Alluciye: a surprising sweet-and-sour meat stew cooked with sour plums.
• Sand-brewed coffee: Mardin coffee slowly brewed on hot sand, served in our courtyard.
• Local wines and walnut pastries made to centuries-old Syriac recipes.
