About this

İskender kebap

İskender kebap is a renowned Turkish dish that originates from the northwestern region of Turkey, particularly the city of Bursa. Named after its creator, İskender Efendi, in the late 19th century, this culinary masterpiece is a delightful combination of thinly sliced, succulent lamb or beef doner meat served atop a bed of freshly baked pide bread. The dish is generously drizzled with a rich tomato sauce and melted butter, and often accompanied by a dollop of creamy yogurt, which adds a refreshing contrast to its savory flavors. İskender kebap is celebrated for its harmonious blend of textures and tastes, making it a beloved staple in Turkish cuisine.
