Tostçu Kadir Usta opens at half past five in Sanayi and grills toasted sandwiches for the Gaziantep workshop shift before most cafes have opened.

TipClosed Sundays and shut by half past one. This is a morning counter, not a lunch stop.
Çiğ Köfteci Yuşa Usta sells meat-free çiğ köfte wraps in Değirmiçem at student prices, and the portions run to twice the usual Gaziantep size.
TryÇiğ köfte dürüm
TipThe bulgur is kneaded without meat, so the wrap is plant-based before anything is added to it.
Metanet Lokantası charges soup money for the dish Gaziantep is proudest of, and a beyran with bread is a full breakfast for one very modest price.
TryBeyran çorbası
TipOrder half a portion if you plan on katmer afterwards. The broth is richer than it looks.
Evirgeç Mantı Evi plates home cooking on Atatürk Bulvarı, and Gaziantep mantı with yoghurt is one of the cheaper sit-down meals in the centre.
TryAntep mantısı
TipCheck the daily board before ordering. The listed menu runs wider than the day's cooking.
Dürümcü Recep Usta fills you up on chickpeas and flatbread in Gaziantep for the price of a coffee elsewhere, which is why the queue never thins.
TryNohut dürüm
TipOne wrap is a light lunch, two is a full meal. Add ayran rather than a second wrap.
Ciğerci Mustafa charges bazaar prices for lamb liver skewers in Gaziantep, and a skewer with bread and salad lands well under most kebab bills.
TryCiğer kebabı
TipLiver runs out by early afternoon. Go at breakfast when it is freshest and cheapest.
