About Papazula

A narrow shopfront on Phuket Road that opens into a double-height music hall: velvet armchairs, slab-wood tables, a tiled bar, and a band on stage every night from about 8 pm. The kitchen is Turkish — kebabs off the grill, mezze with warm bread, boat-shaped pide — with pizzas and burgers for the rest of the table. For a quieter talk, ask for the deck over the canal at the back.
