It might be considered as the sibling of tha Adana kebab. Even if they look very smillar on the grill , the taste is quite different. Adana Kebab is spicy but URFA KEBAB is not spicy. Urfa Kebab meat is drawn with special armor of Urfa city region.
Ussually it is around 25cm to 30 cm and serve as one shish.(may varry depending tested restaurant.) Most restaurant also may service it As wrap if you interest. Bu it becomes like fast food in taht option.(my personal idea😊
Very bascily if you like spicy should preffer Adana, if you dont like spicy you should preffer Urfa kebap.
Patlıcanlı kebab (Eggplant Kebab)
This kebab is quality varry highly dependint tested restaurant. It is not spicy and if you interrest grilled Eggplant this is definitely what you need. Upon served inside eggplant might be hotter than meat so show attention not to burn your month 😊
