About

Marul specializes in Turkish çiğ köfte made from bulgur and herbs, served in various forms like rolls and dürüm for under 3€. The venue is casual with minimal seating, including outdoor sidewalk spots, and offers quick service with friendly, English-speaking staff. Ayran drinks contain dairy, so vegans should avoid them, but the vegan köfte dishes are praised for their authentic flavors and affordable prices.
