Sabah Et Lokantası (Pozcu Branch)

Sabah Et Lokantası started as a sixty-seat neighbourhood eatery in Mersin and has since grown into a chain of seven branches; this record covers the Pozcu branch, in the city's Yenişehir district. The business describes itself as a steak house and meat restaurant built around kebab, chicken, döner, rice, bulgur, soup, pide and dessert, essentially the Mediterranean grill tradition served in the format of a classic Turkish esnaf lokantası, a neighbourhood tradesman's eatery. Its own corporate copy frames the chain's growth in terms of local impact, saying its aim is to create jobs and support the regional economy around Mersin. The menu keeps to the familiar shape of a Turkish grill house: grilled meats and döner sit at the centre, rice and bulgur sides and soups fill it out, pide rounds out the savoury side, and dessert closes the meal. Nothing on the site names an alcoholic drink or a pork product. The Pozcu branch sits on Gazi Mustafa Kemal Boulevard, in the Güvenevler area of Mersin's Yenişehir district. The arc from a sixty-seat neighbourhood spot to a seven-branch chain suggests a business that expanded while holding onto a fairly consistent price and quality position, and Sabah Et Lokantası now reads as an established name in Mersin's everyday grill-house scene.
