Battalbey Çiğköfte

Merkezefendi became a district in its own right under law no. 6360, passed in 2012; with a population of 345,933 it is Denizli's most populous district and one of the province's two central districts. Denizli itself is known in the Aegean Region as an industrial, export and trade hub. In Adalet Mahallesi within Merkezefendi, Battalbey Çiğköfte runs as a business built, as its name states, around çiğ köfte, a dish that traces back to southeastern Turkey, particularly the area around Şanlıurfa and Adıyaman, and is now widely made nationwide as a meat-free, bulgur-based street food — though that background comes from the region's known culinary tradition rather than from this business's own published ingredient list. The tags the business has chosen for its own listing run to Turkish cuisine, regional products and tradition. Doors open at 11am and stay open until midnight, every day of the week, a schedule that serves both daytime and late-evening snacking. Cash and debit cards are accepted.
