Adana kebap is a popular skewered meat dish named after one of the most famous kebab cities in the country, Adana. This kebab is made with ground lamb and tail fat that are kneaded together with garlic, onion, paprika, and hot red pepper flakes, giving it a deep red color and a spicy flavor. The whole concoction is typically placed around large and flat metal skewers, then grilled. Once it's done, the grilled meat is traditionally served on a platter over flatbreads, peppers, and tomatoes, or stuffed into pita bread along with a salad consisting of parsley and red onions. Before the pita is rolled, the meat is usually topped with roasted chilies, salt, cumin, and sumac. It is recommended to pair Adana kebap with ayran – a slightly salty, yogurt-based beverage or şalgam, a non-alcoholic fermented beverage made from vegetables and red carrots.

We ordered Adana style, but it came mixed. First of all, when you go, you sit at the tables on the side of the street next to the Nuri Osmaniye Mosque, and 10-15 minutes after you place your order, they bring your wrap and drink (note: pay attention to what you order and what you get, don't let it get lost in the crowd). The moment you take a bite, you can instantly taste the meat and feel that orgasmic sensation on the edges of your tongue. The softness of the lavash bread, but the fact that it doesn't fall apart because of the meat and fat, is a nice choice. When you ask for spicy or roasted peppers, Mustafa Usta from Adıyaman seriously does it justice, adding special chili he brings from his hometown, and this time you can feel that spiciness starting from the tip of your tongue and going up your neck and then to your head. The proportionate amount of onions and greens is one of the most important features that sets it apart from other wrap places. The only thing I missed was that they didn't have open ayran (yogurt drink), and sometimes it can get busy due to demand. If you happen to be in Fatih Çemberlitaş, you should definitely go.

Friends took me there because it was famous, it was nice but I paid 440 for 2 wraps in total, I would have eaten better things for that money, I had an Adana wrap and a liver wrap, the meat was average, the lavash was hot and fresh, it was nice to eat but it was not something I would crave.
