In this article, we will share the names and addresses of the best restaurants to taste them. Bon appétit. ;)

1-    Cağ Kebab

You can find many restaurants that serve cağ kebab in its homeland. However, a few of them make this taste an everlasting one. The lamb or mutton is cleared from its nerves and placed on skews to get a legendary taste! We have two recommendations to try it out.

2-    Döner

This is an awesome taste that you can have at any time during the day! The leaves of meat are seasoned with basil and thyme and cooked on wood fire. You can have it on a plate or in a sandwich, but you should certainly have it no matter how…

3-    Stuffed Kadayif

Erzurum has a legendary stuffed kadayıf dessert. It attracts its visitors with its light but delicious taste, no matter where you have it. We recommend Kadayıfçı Muammer Usta for this dessert. You can have some packed as a gift. They wrap and vacuum it so it does not leak outside the box.
