About this spot
Al Tarboosh serves up authentic Turkish-style kebabs with generous portions that feel like a warm hug after exploring the Great Market Hall. Order the classic Adana kebab or the lamb shish to experience flavors that rival the city's famous street food stalls without the crowds.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for extra garlic sauce (sır) on the side, as it is essential for cutting through the rich meat and grilled vegetables.
- Bring cash only; this stall in the Great Market Hall often does not accept credit cards or contactless payments.
- Go early in the morning to avoid long lines, especially if you are looking for fresh pide bread rather than leftovers.
