Ozankoy butcher

[Mollie the cat]

Hi,
We have just devoured two juicy rump steaks (25 TL) purchased from the butcher in our village. I must admit I was sceptical because they were quite Red however, they were tender and tasty. Actually I think it was the way I cooked them but never mind, good value.

I went there a couple of days ago and bought some gammon steaks and cold ham...both were delicious. Will be back even tho it's a fair drive from Karsiyaka. Well worth the effort.

I was a bit disappointed, the sausage was ok but the bacon was so salty, had to throw it away, not tried anything else yet

[madeincyprus]

can someone tell me where in the village they are. Thanks

Nearly next door to the muhtarlik. There is a carpark just down the side road from there.

Beware the car park is often full of non-butcher's customers cars. You may have a small walk, but - well worth it. Usef , is highly competent, knowledgeable and has excellent English/customer service skills. We travel from 8 kms east of Esentepe on a twice weekly basis to buy there.

Only discovered this butcher a couple of weeks ago and so far very impressed. Had a joint of topside last week and it was very tender and full of flavour. Tried his saugases last night, pork & leek and Cumberland and they were very good. Best saugages we have had here.

Sounds like the same place that Steve used to run?

[Mollie the cat]

It is the same place, Yusef also had it before Steve I think?

[Ozankoy Best Butcher]

Hi Everyone, yes Yusuf had this butchers before Steve (Steve took it when Yusuf was in the UK), it was Yusuf`s Father`s butchers before that

Dave G, sorry to hear you were disappointed, try the bacon again if you`re passing, there was a particularly salty batch but the curing has been fine tuned Tell Yusuf his missus promised you a replacement pack - I`ll tell him to expect you if he sees you We value all feedback

Karen,
Do I get a pack of bacon for starting the thread? (only Joking) calling for sausages tomorrow.

[mrsgee]

Called in today, very impressed! Got some good quality stewing steak, and a couple of complimentary kidneys were thrown in. Some lovely bacon, and a joint of topside. Would have bought more but had to reign myself in a bit. Everything looked great, well presented, very clean shop, and Yusuf was very welcoming and obliging. Will definitely go back...will be trying the French Trimmed Rack of Lamb I think. I am sure this business will do well as they understand the way Brits like their meat.

Does the little bus from town go near there? I need to order my meat for Christmas.

[tomsteel]

madeincyprus, I've no idea where you live or whether a bus/dolmus goes anywhere near the shop. Could not a neighbour take you? If you live east of Girne, my wife and I would take you to the shop so you can order.

I have Yusufs card and it does say home deliveries,0533 870 3974
Though to be honest you really need to visit the shop to appreciate what a fabulous butcher he is #spoiltforchoice

Dolmus drops off at the mosque or the sports club/ village square both just round the corner from yusuf's

[madeincyprus]

Tomsteel. thank you so much, I'm in Catalkoy. I'm going to get the bus there on Saturday and have a good look.

[tomsteel]

OK, enjoy the trip. Top service from Yusef.

After reading all the recommendations decided to give it a try, went to today and bought fillet steaks and cumberland sausages, had the steaks tonight and they were fantastic, will be getting all our meat from there from now on.

[Bridgett]

Wow! Bought lamb and mint sausages, Cumberland sausages, real ham and fillet steaks from here, and everything was superb. I'm a super fussy sausage eater, and these were just beautiful. Will definitely be returning, even though we live in Yesiltepe.

[mrsgee]

Cooked the topside joint yesterday that I got from Yusuf.....it is the absolute best I have ever managed to get in TRNC, very tender and tasty. I think Yusuf will do very well.....may have to expand and take on more staff at this rate.....lol. Very best of luck to him.

[Mollie the cat]

He owes me two sausages for starting the thread. (lol)

[judyvin]

I have just cooked 2 pork chops that I bought earlier this afternoon and they were superb. Definitely the best that I have bought in Cyprus, both on this side and the south. They had lovely flavour and were very moist. Thank you Yusuf!

[niceone]

today we bought a French trimmed rack of lamb
It was fantastic
