Hasgül pide lahmacun
About this place
Hasgül pide lahmacun is a simple, no-frills local eatery in Alanya that serves some of the best pide we found during our time there. Pide is essentially a long, boat-shaped bread topped with cheese or meat — think of it as a Turkish version of pizza, only more satisfying in its simplicity. The lahmacun here is also good — a thin, crispy flatbread with minced meat that makes for an excellent light meal. This place is clearly geared toward locals rather than tourists, which typically means more genuine food at better prices. The wait for an order can be on the longer side, so factor that in if you're in a hurry. It's not a fancy restaurant in Alanya by any stretch — the setting is basic and functional — but the quality of the food more than compensates. The location is in the central Alanya area, accessible on foot from Ataturk Boulevard and the surrounding streets. If you want to experience what locals actually eat in Alanya Turkey, Hasgül is a solid recommendation.
