Çağ Urfa Sofrası

Çağ Urfa Sofrası is a traditional eatery in Yenişehir, the modern quarter of Artuklu, the central district of Mardin. "Sofra" — literally the spread table — signals a place built around cooked dishes brought to a shared table rather than a single specialty. The published record locates it by quarter and postcode, 47100, with no street or door number, and the coordinate attached to it falls on a generic point in central Mardin rather than on the door itself.

No menu has been published, so the kitchen can only be read from the tags the operators selected for themselves: traditional Turkish cooking, kebabs and grilled meat, desserts and seasonal fruit, with coffee and tea. Fruit and sweets are presented both as a close to a meal and as something eaten during the day. Breakfast through dinner all appear as meals served, though the posted hours are 14:00 to 20:00 every day.

The operators describe outdoor seating, a terrace heated when evenings turn cool, air-conditioned rooms, a section for smokers and a children's corner. The entrance and interior are given as wheelchair accessible; pets are welcome; parking is free and a valet is available. Reservations are not taken. Takeaway and delivery are offered, and payment can be made in cash or by debit card, contactless, Mastercard or VISA.
