Doboo - Mardin

One of Mardin's best restaurants, serving traditional and regional dishes: kaburga domlasi, doboo, ikbebet, irok, and others. The quality of the cooking here is excellent and the portions are a good value. Additionally, the terrace is a picturesque location with a view of the old city.

We'd go somewhere else for dinner however both the staff in our hotel and a shop owner's advice was Doboo so we gave it a chance despite the bad reviews. When you go into the the restauraunt, the terrace is almost after 3 stairs. At the entrance, nobody asks you if you've a reservation or not. We didn't have one and after going up all the stairs we were asked if we had it or not. Eventually, a table was arranged. We received a complimentary salad and traditional cig kofte. Salad's tomatoes were definetely rotten. I guess they were prepared way earlier and due to the hot weather, were no good anymore. We ordered kaburga hası and kaburga dolması which were both dry and heated before the service. And the meat was lamb leg, not brisket meat. We also ordered saray yahnisi which is a traditional plum and meat stew. I'd like if it was mentioned in the menu or before the order that the plums will be served with the seeds. Saray yahni was not bland or bad, 3/5 however the seed separation part was not joy at all. The meat quantity was for 5 pieces in total in this dish. And when we received the receipt, the water was also charged. The problem is we hadn't asked for water and thought they were served with food free of charge. Eventually, we paid 440 TRY and unfortuntely it was the worst food experience of us in Mardin.

The best restaurant in Mardin after 3 days of visit. Excellent location. Professional service. Kind staff. Delicious and quality food. Would go back each night.

Stale sebusek( it's a shame for the place pretending serving local foods), stale salad, doboo dish's rice not well cooked and it's meat chewy/hard meat( menu shows it cooked 8 hours, should be tender even if you cook couple of hours) almonds were good I don't recommend the place, except the view. Waiters are good. Prices are really high what you get. Manzara dışında gitmeye değmez.

The Place is clean and fresh, the service is is good, two workers were helpful and friendly but the one who took the orders seemed not very interested in his job! In general, the food was good but pricey.
