3 Must-Try Turkish Street Foods

Baklava

Turkey is a very unusual country and the fact it lays on two continents only makes it more tempting. So if you plan on traveling to Turkey, here is a list of the best foods you absolutely must try!

Kebab

There are a few different types of kebabs found in Turkey. The Kuyu kebab, Adana kebab, Iskender kebab and Şiş kebab are all really tasty, but if you want to try only one or two, then we recommend you try Şiş and Adana varieties. The former is typically lamb, chicken or fish served on a wooden rod, while Adana kebab is made of lamb meat and tail fat. They both taste amazing and will make you cry for more.

Doner

It’s a meat sandwich, usually slow cooked. The meat is cooked on a vertical rotisserie, usually lamb, chicken or beef, and served with different kinds of vegetables and spices in pita bread.

Baklava

The mistress of desserts, her royal highness – baklava! This dessert is made of layers of phyllo dough, nuts that you put between them (you can use all kinds) and sherbet (syrup), and it is simply designed to blow your mind. It’s very specific for making, but worth it every second!
