If you've only ever had a kebab with chips, Ali Nazik is a lovely next step. It comes from Gaziantep in south-east Turkey and pairs grilled meat with a smoky, creamy base.
What is Ali Nazik?
The base is aubergine that's been charred, chopped and mixed with garlic yoghurt, so it tastes smoky and fresh at the same time. Hot grilled meat goes on top, and the juices run into the yoghurt.
Three ways at EFES
- Ali Nazik with Adana kebab (£19)
- Ali Nazik with lamb shish (£19)
- Ali Nazik with chicken shish (£18), with rice, salad, homemade bread and sauce
Like it? Try the Yogurtlu dishes next. They're grilled meats served over bread pieces with yoghurt and tomato sauce (from £17).
