Muslim Friendly Shopping in Kayseri

• Handwoven carpets are the major touristic merchandise in Kayseri, but they can be quite expensive as some of them are silk.
• Kayseri is famous all throughout Türkiye for its Pastirma. This is seasoned beef which has been air dried.

Halal Food & Restaurants

• Kayseri Mantısı is the most famous dish Kayseri is known for. It's made from minced Meat, wrapped in tiny bits of dough and boiled. It's served with a special Sauce and yogurt. It's pretty difficult to find a restaurant to eat it as local residents always eat this at home and they are prepared much better. However, Kaşık-la has now established a well deserved name in the city also for local residents and if you can't get a local to invite you home, is definitely worth trying.
• Pastırma is Kayseri's another well-known product. It's dried, salted beef covered with çemen, prepared by a special process. Pastırma is served both as a spicy starter or used in dishes (e.g. in pastırmalı kuru fasulye) or böreks. Kayseri is the major source of production in Türkiye. If cannot afford the restaurants, try buying 100 grams from a large supermarket or from old shops in the old shopping neighborhood behind the castle (Kale).
• İskender is a Halal Kebab variant, named after its inventor (Turkish) variant of "Alexander"). Its Meat is prepared similar to that of döner, but is served in dish, and with a butter Sauce on the top. Although others come quite close, a local restaurant called İskender is the best place to eat this, and is located on the opposite side of Hunat Hatun Camii.

Gilaburu juice is a traditional drink from Middle Anatolia. Gilaburu (viburnum opulus) is a tiny, red fruit. It has lots of benefits to human body. You can drink Gilaburu juice in Elmacıoğlu İskender (one of the biggest restaurant in the city).

• Bolulu Hasan Usta Café serving usual tea and Turkish Coffee, and many pastries. Free Wi-Fi, power supply for computers/smartphones, and perfectly clean toilets. Friendly staff (though non English-speaking).
