Cig Kofteci Ali Usta at Sirkeci, Istanbul is a famous place for fast food and street food lovers. Cig Kofteci Ali Usta is a funny chef who loves his job and specializes in Turkish food in Istanbul.
Here is some information on çiğ köfte:
The dish is often associated with Şanlıurfa province in Turkey, and it is a popular street food, but it is a popular appetizer all over Turkey. The ingredients are all raw and traditionally include ground meat, bulgur, tomato paste, fresh onion, garlic and other spices for flavoring such as "isot" and black pepper. Most locals prefer eating çiğ köfte in a lettuce leaf, accompanied by good quantities of ayran to lower the burning sensation because some cig softies can be very spicy and hot.
In Turkish, çiğ means "raw" and köfte means meatball. The word köfte derives from Persian, ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root "*(s)kop-" (grind, pound, beaten).
