Region 3 of 7

Mediterranean

From Mersin to Hatay: herbs, yoghurt, sesame and fire. This is the home of Adana kebab – and of warm künefe.

The cuisine of the region

Where kebab got its name

The Mediterranean coast stretches from Antalya via Mersin and Adana to Hatay on the Syrian border. Between the Taurus Mountains and the sea grow citrus fruits, pomegranates and herbs – and the cuisine is as varied as the peoples who have lived here for thousands of years.

Adana is famous for its kebab: minced lamb, chopped by hand with a wide knife, seasoned with pepper and grilled over charcoal on a flat skewer. Hatay is a UNESCO City of Gastronomy – with hummus, muhammara made from walnuts and pepper paste, and künefe, the warm dessert of pastry threads and cheese.

Some of our most popular meze and kebabs come from this region – from hummus to Yoğurtlu Adana Kebap.
