A kebab house in the Korutürk quarter of Balçova, İzmir, working off the grill and open from noon until ten at night, seven days a week.
Balçova is one of İzmir's central districts, sitting on the western side of the city between Konak and Narlıdere. Ali Usta Oltu Kebap Salonu works there at 27 Vali Hüseyin Öğütçen Caddesi, in the Korutürk quarter.
The name carries a place: Oltu is a district of Erzurum in eastern Turkey and lends its name to a way of grilling kebab. The listing itself does not make that connection — it comes through the name alone. What the operators do tag is Turkish cuisine and kebab, with coffee, tea and freshly squeezed juice alongside, and lunch and dinner as the meals served. No dish list has been published, so which cuts and which skewers come off the grill cannot be read from the record.
On the room the operators are brief: air conditioning indoors, an entrance described as easily accessible, and a designated smoking area. Nothing is announced about parking, wifi, outdoor seating or takeaway. The door opens at noon and closes at ten in the evening on all seven days. Payment is by cash, debit card, Mastercard or VISA.
