How Many People Does 1 kg of Grill Feed? Portion or by the Kilo? (Buca Guide)

13 October 2026

Planning a big table or ordering a grill night at home? The first question is always: portions or by the kilo? Here is the math using the real weights and prices on the Buca Mangal Keyfi menu (October 2026). For current prices see our menu.

Portion vs. by the kilo

Our chicken portions (chops, butterfly, fillet, mixed and wings) are 400 g. By-the-kilo options come as 1 kg or 1.5 kg for sharing. Both are cooked to order over charcoal and served with sumac onions, salad, lavash and roasted peppers.

How many people does 1 kg feed?

Using the 400 g portion as a guide, 1 kg is about 2.5 portions:

• 2–3 people: 1 kg is a comfortable start.
• 4–5 people: 1.5 kg, or 1 kg plus a few portions.
• With soups and mezes on the side, the same amount feeds more people.

Which is better value?

• Chicken: 400 g portion 320 TL (80 TL per 100 g) vs. 1 kg 620 TL (62 TL per 100 g).
• Wings: 400 g portion 330 TL (~82 TL per 100 g) vs. 1 kg 670 TL (67 TL per 100 g).
• Köfte: 180 g portion 330 TL; 1 kg 1,600 TL; 500 g 800 TL.

For two or more people, by the kilo is clearly cheaper per gram.
