Adana, which has one of the biggest cuisines of our country, is especially famous for meat, kebabs and meat products. Turnip juice, Şıra and Misis ayran are among the famous drinks. Adana also has a unique style as lahmacun. You should not return from here without tasting yellow burma and bici bici. You can also try the cat sinker and forty folds. Of course, the order of all these local and national dishes is important, but this city is famous for its kebabs and kebab shops both in our country and in the world. Yeşil Kapı kebab shop by the stadium is one of our first recommendations. Eyvan, Bir biçer kebab hall and Hasan Usta are also recommended. Kebapçı Ufuk'un Yeri, Bol Kepçe, Elem Restaurant, Kazancılar kebab shop around the big clock and many more places whose names are legendary with kebabs. In our opinion, the best kebab place is Asmaaltı, one of the oldest ones in the bazaar. Almost every kebab place in Adana is very good, but apart from kebabs, you should also try Cabbar the ribs man. Eating toast and drinking banana milk at Kazım Büfe can be a privilege:) And don't forget the night meal! The best offal is at Sirdanci Bedo. One of our followers recommends Erciyes Ocakbasi in Hacı Bayram, which is not very well known but its kebab and turnip are number ten, it is located opposite Bir biçer. They say the hand minced meat, liver and ash bastis are delicious.
