01
What is Turkish street food?
Turkish street food covers many dishes, but the most recognisable share a few qualities: fast preparation, strong grill flavour, bread that is served warm and simple accompaniments that keep the main ingredient in focus.
Dürüm, kebab, lahmacun and grilled meats are popular because they are practical to eat and easy to customise. They can be served as a quick wrap, a plate or a larger meal for sharing.
02
What is the difference between Dürüm and kebab?
Kebab usually describes the grilled meat or the complete meat dish. Dürüm means rolled or wrapped and describes how kebab, chicken, lamb or another filling is enclosed in thin flatbread.
Kebab is the grilled filling; Dürüm is the wrap. A kebab Dürüm combines freshly grilled meat with warm flatbread, vegetables and restrained seasoning.

Which Turkish street food should you order?
Usta Kebab Dürüm is the classic choice for seasoned minced kebab. Chicken kebab Dürüm is lighter while still carrying charcoal flavour. Lamb cubes have a richer, meatier texture. Sujuk Dürüm offers a more intensely seasoned profile, while mixed options suit a larger appetite.
- Choose kebab for a classic seasoned Turkish flavour.

- Choose sujuk for a bold, spiced option.
- Choose a mixed or double Dürüm for a larger meal.

How is an authentic Dürüm prepared?
The filling is cooked first so it can move directly from the grill to the bread. The flatbread is warmed until flexible, then the meat is arranged in a line with tomato, onion, herbs and sauce in balanced amounts. The wrap is rolled tightly enough to hold together without crushing the filling.
Charcoal matters because it adds aroma and browned edges. Fresh assembly matters because warm bread and hot meat lose their contrast if the wrap waits too long.
