A family business in Şahinbey, Gaziantep, baking traditional katmer in a wood-fired stone oven for four generations since 1925.

About The Venue

Overview

Katmerci Zekeriya Usta runs as a katmer shop and restaurant at Hilmi Geçidi No:16/C-D on Körükcü Sokak, in Gaziantep's Şahinbey district, in the Çukur neighbourhood. According to its own history, the tradition began in 1925 when Hacı Nuri Usta opened a stone oven at Elmacı Pazarı; in the 1950s Zekeriya Usta turned katmer into a household tradition, the business grew through international demand in the 2000s, and today it continues under the leadership of fourth-generation Mehmet Nuri — across this century-long journey, the flavour rising from the same stone oven touches not just the palate but the past, the family and the spirit of Gaziantep itself. Katmer here is prepared using traditional methods, baked over embers in a stone oven. The site also describes a local Gaziantep custom: on the morning after a wedding, katmer breakfast is served at the homes of the bride and groom, and the business positions itself as a living witness to that tradition. No item-level pricing is published in enough detail to record here, and no working hours are listed at the source either.
