Antalya's kebab culture is a robust reflection of its Anatolian roots, featuring a variety of skewered and grilled meats cooked over charcoal. The most iconic orders are the 'Adana Kebap,' a spicy hand-minced lamb mixture, and the 'Kuzu Şiş,' which consists of tender marinated lamb chunks. These are typically served with charred peppers, tomatoes, and a variety of flatbreads to soak up the juices. The city's grill houses are social hubs where the aroma of smoldering oak wood defines the evening atmosphere. For the best experience, look for restaurants with an 'Ocakbaşı,' where you can watch the master grillers at work.
