Sırık Kebabı is a traditional whole-roasted lamb dish originating from the Çorum region of Turkey. The name 'sırık' refers to the long wooden pole or spit on which the entire lamb is skewered. The lamb is slowly rotated over a wood fire for several hours, allowing it to cook evenly and baste in its own juices. This slow-roasting method results in meat that is exceptionally tender and flavorful, with a crispy, golden skin. Unlike other kebabs, Sırık Kebabı is an event in itself, often prepared for special occasions, large gatherings, or festivals. Served with simple accompaniments like onions and bread, the focus remains entirely on the succulent meat.

At the entrance of the shop, the whole lamb is rotating on a spit. It's served in portions like this; for a more filling meal, you can order 1.5 portions or by the kilogram. You can choose between bone-in or boneless. I recommend it if you want a beautifully cooked, tender, and juicy lamb that isn't dry.

It has been my favorite food since I was a kid. The meat is really delicious and melts in your mouth, flows with the oily bread. You can go to Gümüşhacıköy just to eat it. We chose it as 1 kilo and ate it for 4 people. It was filling. The price I wrote is for 1 kilo. They serve it with salad and sumac onions. I highly recommend it.
