Marinee is chef Mari Esgici's small Kurtuluş room with a back garden, built around one idea done well: kaburga, beef ribs slow-cooked for the better part of a day until they fall from the bone. It is owner-run and unpolished, a neighbourhood table with an Armenian and Diyarbakır hand, the sort of place regulars book and newcomers stumble onto.

Editor's Tip

Come for the kaburga; the ribs are the reason and they run out. Ask for the back garden in warm months.
