Adana Kebab is the first thing that comes to the mind of a Turkish person when they think of the word “kebab”. It’s soft, a little spicy, fatty and absolutely delicious. The name comes from a southern city in Turkey called by the same name, Adana.
Highest ranked Turkish kebab in the list of the best dishes in the world, cağ kebab is a local delicacy of eastern Turkey. This dish at first glance looks a lot like döner, but unlike döner, its 100% lamb, a lot juicier, more fragrant, and chewy.
Kokoreç is an ancient dish that goes all the way back to the Byzantine Empire. Traditionally made in both Greece and Turkey, this is a unique street snack that is made with lamb fat, intestines, and in most cases other organ meats like sweetbreads and kidneys. It is absolutely scrumptious.
