About Iskender kebap

Iskender Kebap is a beloved Turkish dish originating from the Bursa region, celebrated for its rich flavors and satisfying textures. It consists of thinly-sliced, seasoned meat—often lamb or beef—served atop a bed of diced pita bread. The dish is generously topped with a savory tomato-based sauce and a dollop of melted butter, accompanied by a side of creamy yogurt. Traditionally cooked on a vertical rotisserie, the meat is tender and smoky, with the sauce adding tanginess and depth. While Iskender Kebap provides protein from the meat and probiotics from the yogurt, it is also high in calories and fat due to the buttery topping and the carbohydrate content from the bread. This indulgent meal is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, offering a delightful experience of Turkish culinary heritage.
