Kebapçı Numan Baba

Ahievran Caddesi, which runs through Sahabiye Mahallesi and cuts through the middle of Kocasinan, takes its name from Ahi Evran, the figure credited with founding the Ahi guild tradition. Kocasinan is the second most populous of Kayseri's central districts and the largest by land area, though it carries no separate historical identity — it grew out of the expanding city, and its history runs together with the centre's. Kayseri sits in the southeast of the Central Anatolian Region, its past reaching through the Seljuk period back to Roman Caesarea, and the city's tie to the Ahi guild tradition still surfaces in street names such as this one. On that street, Kebapçı Numan Baba runs as a kebab-focused eatery. The kitchen tags it has chosen for its own listing are built around Turkish cuisine, kebab, dessert and tea. The doors open close to midday, at 11am, and close at 8pm, a pattern that points to lunch and dinner trade rather than breakfast service. Cash, contactless payment and bank or credit cards are accepted.
