Ayvalik Lokumu with Cafe de Paris sauce is a steakhouse-style dish of tender, bite-sized beef served with a rich, buttery herb sauce. “Lokumu” here describes the meat’s soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture; it is not Turkish delight. The name evokes Ayvalık, but it does not by itself establish a standard regional recipe.
It is typically served as a main course, often with fries, rice or a side salad. The beef is savoury and tender, while the sauce adds a creamy, tangy, aromatic richness. It provides protein, but the butter-based sauce makes the dish fairly rich overall. For a lighter plate, pair it with salad or grilled vegetables and ask for the sauce on the side so you can use just enough.
