KMU Mehmet Usta
About Us
KMU Mehmet Usta began in 2009 in Aksaray with a single ocakbaşı grill. Today, on 1,600 m² of open space in the Taşpazar neighbourhood, we do the same work: put the meat over the fire and wait for the right moment.
Wood fire sits at the centre of the kitchen. Kuzu lokum, kuzu küşleme, chops and T-bone cook over the coals without being hurried. Testi kebabı goes into the fire sealed inside a clay pot and is broken open at your table. Our dough is rolled by hand — etli ekmek, bıçak arası and lahmacun are made fresh every day.
Mornings look different. The KMU spread breakfast is laid out with daily cheeses, village eggs, homemade preserves and warm pastries.
The menu also carries the region's own flavours: okra soup, Konya börek and cevizli incelek. Our 250 seats can be divided for family gatherings, business lunches and celebrations such as engagements or birthdays.
A 4.6 rating and more than seven thousand reviews on Google are the record of our effort to hold the same line since 2009.
Our Values
The same promise on every plate.
Four principles that have not changed since 2009 — they are the foundation of our kitchen.
01
Wood-Fire Mastery
Every bite spends hours over the fire. Oak, pine and patience — our three essential ingredients.
02
Local Produce
Our meat arrives fresh every day; vegetables and eggs come from producers around Aksaray. Dough is rolled by hand through the day.
03
In the Heart of the City
In Taşpazar, within walking distance of the city centre. A spacious table across 1,600 m² of open space.
04
Family Warmth
A table passed down through two generations. Every guest is treated as a friend invited into our home.
