Kağıt kebabı

Kağıt kebabı, meat from Antakya, rested, marinated and baked in a paper parcel so it cooks in its own juices. Our main.

Antiochia

Turkish · Hatay · künefe · Antakya grill · Asmalımescit, Istanbul

A kitchen in Asmalımescit cooking the food of Antakya, with every ingredient brought from the city, some grown for it by villagers. It opened to keep Antakya's dishes alive, with chefs raised in its kitchens.
