Reviews Summary
This historic Bursa establishment is celebrated for its authentic Iskender kebab, praised for its fresh ingredients and traditional preparation. Many visitors find the taste to be exceptional and worth the visit. However, some diners feel the portions are small for the price and note that the ambiance is simple rather than luxurious, with occasional complaints about value.
"Trying Iskender kebab at Uludag Kebapcisi was an experience like no other—something I’d never had before. It was our first day in Bursa, and my cousin, the only one of us who’d tried it before, brought us here. We were a group of 10 friends, none of whom had ever tasted it.
When the plates of Iskender kebab arrived, we thought the portions looked small and doubted they'd be enough to fill us up. But once we started eating, we quickly realized that one plate is more than enough for one person seriously, lolllzzzz 😄
No doubt, the taste was incredible, like a taste of heaven,,, so good I can still remember it vividly. Each plate was 520 Turkish lira, so our total was 5200 TL, making it the priciest meal of our Turkey road trip, but absolutely worth it!
The restaurant itself has a nice location and is partially ♿accessible, which is a plus."

"We had the chance to visit the authentic shop while our road trip with my family.
The food is , hands down , amazing. Best iskender kebap that i’ve tried . All the ingredients are high quality .
Everything tastes great.
And the authenticy of the historic shop is great as well.
If you are looking for a luxury shop , this is not the place.
But if you like authentic places , that is it.
The chance to feel the authenticy of a famous dish’s bornplace was great for us.
We liked everything about it to be honest.
We will definitly visit again when we are back to Bursa.
Highly recommended."

"It was my first time to eat Iskender and it didn't disappoint. It was so delish and savory. It's the best so far. The staff was nice. There were many photos on the wall as memoirs of the people who came and dined. Even though, the place was quiet small and hot, we would still love to come back.😅👍"
