If the world was a home, Gaziantep would be the kitchen!
We wanted to visit Gaziantep, Turkey for the longest time as it is known as the kitchen of the world and its is a UNESCO recognized creative city with insanely delicious food everywhere you look at very affordable prices. Gaziantep is the home of some world famous Turkish foods like Turkish baklava as well as local unique (and delicious) foods like katmer, beyran çorbası and Ali nazik kebab as we showcased 24 of the best ones you MUST TRY (yes 24!) on this GOD LEVEL STREET FOOD TOUR in Gaziantep Turkey!
On this Gaziantep Turkey Food Tour we tried some insanely delicious Turkish street food as well as some of the most UNIQUE TURKISH food to showcase why Turkish cuisine and in particular Gaziantep Food is the BEST!
Gaziantep: A Gastronomic Journey Through Turkey’s Kitchen
Gaziantep, often hailed as Turkey’s culinary capital, has been on our bucket list for ages. And let us tell you, it did not disappoint! We spent three incredible days immersing ourselves in the city’s rich food culture, and we’re still dreaming about the flavors.
Our adventure kicked off with a mind-blowing breakfast at Unal Restaurant. We devoured beyran soup, a spicy lamb and rice concoction that was the perfect start to our day. But the real showstopper was the katmer, a flaky pastry filled with pistachios and kaymak (clotted cream). It was like an explosion of flavor in our mouths!
We couldn’t resist going for another breakfast feast, this time trying the nohut durum, a savory chickpea wrap packed with flavor.
Of course, no trip to Gaziantep would be complete without indulging in baklava. We visited Koçak Baklava, a legendary bakery that has been in business for over a century. We were blown away by the sheer variety of baklava, from classic pistachio to unique creations like sarma and midye.
And let’s not forget the coffee! We tried both traditional Turkish coffee and a unique pistachio-flavored coffee that was a delightful surprise.
Gaziantep is a city that truly celebrates food. The people are passionate about their cuisine, and it shows in every dish we tried. We can’t wait to go back and explore even more of what this incredible city has to offer. Watch us introducing you all the 24 different types of delicious Antep food in our video!
