Lunch in Diyarbakir

I'm now in the Kurdish city of Diyarbakir, where the old city, high above the River Tigris, is enclosed by 6km of forbidding black basalt walls, built by the Romans. Diyarbakir is a crowded, bustling, very Eastern city - far more people in traditional dress than I've seen anywhere else in Turkey, A lot of the men wear headgear of various sorts,as well as the women - like these two gentlemen who were lunching in the lokanta where I ate kuru fasulye today.
