Ankara, Turkey: A Fusion of Cuisines


There’s no better place in Turkey than Ankara for the country's diverse culinary traditions to merge into an incredible fusion. Ankara’s cuisine is deeply rooted into the rich history and cultural heritage of Turkey. The culinary scene of Ankara is a vibrant mosaic of flavors and aromas of the authentic Anatolian cuisine and international influences.


Manti is one of the most popular dishes you must try in Ankara. These small, handmade dumplings come with a spiced minced meat filling or lentils with some yogurt and garlic-infused tomato sauce on top.


Kuzu Tandir is an iconic local specialty made of a slow-roasted lamb. The lamb is seasoned with fragrant spices and slow-cooked.


Ankara stands out with its versatile meze (appetizers) culture. Enjoy an array of small dishes like Sarma (stuffed grape leaves), Patlican Ezmesi (eggplant dip), and Haydari (yogurt dip with herbs and garlic) at traditional meyhane (taverns). You can share meze with a company of friends.


For those with a sweet tooth, the Turkish capital-city offers myriads  of sweet delights. Savor Baklava and Lokum (Turkish delight), which comes in various flavors. Baklava is a layered pastry filled with nuts and sweet syrup, while Lokum is a chewy, sugary confection.


Don't miss out enjoying a cup of Turkish tea or Kahve (Turkish coffee) in  traditional tea houses or cafés. The rich, full-bodied taste and aroma of Turkish coffee is a perfect way to end your meal.
