From Bakırköy to Ümraniye, I explored some of my favorite Istanbul lahmacun joints. Here's an ode to one of this region's most beloved oven-baked delicacies:
My delightful Armenian neighbors from childhood made lamajun at least weekly, and there was always plenty to share. As an adult I got the recipe and make it at home as often as possible. Perfect spicy, fatty, tangy dough with a squeeze of lemon. Delish. ❤️
Must add to the Turkey list, Tabier in Diyarbekir. My favorite lahmacun ever
Excellent round-up. Had no idea regarding the differences between the Urfa/Gaziantep/Diyarbakır variations.
PS: Just wondering, any notes regarding the spicy lahmacuns' from Borsam Taşfırın@Kadıköy?
Thanks! Yes, in the Turkish version of the article in Apero we included Borsam on our Istanbul list, but I wouldn't personally include it in my top 5.
Ok, thanks a lot for the update.

I bet that recipe is wonderful!
