URFA IS A CITY IN SOUTH-EASTERN TURKEY, DEEPLY ROOTED IN HISTORY. ITS UNIQUE CUISINE IS AN AMALGAMATION OF THE CUISINES OF THE MANY CIVILIZATIONS THAT HAVE RULED IN URFA. DISHES CARRY NAMES IN KURDISH, ARABIC, ARMENIAN, SYRIAN, AND TURKISH, AND ARE OFTEN PREPARED IN A SPICY MANNER. IT IS WIDELY BELIEVED THAT URFA IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF MANY DISHES, INCLUDING RAW KIBBÉ (ÇIĞ KÖFTE), WHICH ACCORDING TO THE LEGEND, WAS CRAFTED BY THE PROPHET ABRAHAM FROM INGREDIENTS HE HAD AT HAND.  URFA USES CLARIFIED BUTTER, MADE EXCLUSIVELY FROM SHEEP'S MILK. AT URFA BISTRO WE AIM TO USE LOCAL PRODUCTS TO CREATE DISHES AS SAME AS PREPARED IN URFA.
