Located within the small hotel with the same name, Cevahir Konuk Evi is considered one of the best restaurants in Urfa all around. Not only does it serve excellent delicious local cuisine - such as a variety of Urfa Kebabs and the Urfa-style lahmajun (meat on flat bread) - but it has a beautiful ambiance in the covered courtyard of an ancient stone palace. For those who have been to Aleppo before the current ugly war, this restaurant is similar in concept as the many restaurants in Jdeideh quarter. I would definitely recommend it and would certainly return. Note that the restaurant does not serve alcohol.

The gardens surrounding Golbasi are a pleasant place to enjoy a cooling drink, during the heat of the day, or enjoy an evening meal. It's also good for people watching.
During my daytime visits, i enjoyed glasses of hot sweet cay, which was quite refreshing. Cay is also the cheapest drink, coffee and soft drinks are available, plus the delicious ayran.
Alcohol is NOT for sale.
At night time, there is a different atmosphere, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, listening to the call to prayer, from the nearby mosques, and watching families and friends chatting and enjoying the cooler evening air.

Favorite Dish: I ate an Urfa kebap, with tomato salad, chunks of delicious fresh bread and drank a jug of ayran.
Although I can't remember if I had a dessert, I do remember eating this hot and spicy kebap, it was very tasty.

In every city in Turkey there is a tea garden. Sometimes it is a place where only men sit and drink tea, sometimes a place were families come to have tea or something to eat.
The picture is from the tea garden in Sanliurfa. It is full of people walking around in the parks or sitting down having tea, a cold drink or pide.
