Nilufer, shares the must-try staples beyond kebabs—like Sultanahmet Köfte (Turkish meatballs), Balık Ekmek (fish sandwiches by the Bosphorus), Islak Hamburger (wet burgers), and the beloved Kumpir (loaded baked potatoes of Ortaköy).
We also break down the difference between döner, kebab, and dürüm, plus the influence of Turkey’s diverse regions on its cuisine.
