What They Ate

Quotes

"This is one of those messier affairs that you really can't ditch the silver on."

"So right at the base of an Iskender Kebab, you have the Turkish-style pide, the pilau bread. And what they do is, they put on the side of it this creamy sheep's milk yogurt."

"And then you have shaved off meat, similar to a shawarma. So this is essentially taking a shawarma and making it way more explosively flavourful."

"I've had richer and better Iskenders in the past. But for the price point that you're paying, it's not bad."

Our Reflection

Turkish Kitchen’s Iskender kebab is a celebration of comfort and flavor, inviting diners to embrace the messiness and richness of Turkish cuisine. The reviewer’s nostalgia and enthusiasm for the dish, combined with the hands-on eating experience, create a vivid sense of place. While it may not be the richest Iskender ever tasted, the value and authenticity shine through, making it a memorable and satisfying stop on the Sharjah food tour.
