History

The Yörük workshop book that Muratpaşa Municipality published in 2024 lists lamb tandır among the dishes of the herders, who ate kavurma and slow-cooked tandır dishes in winter quarters. It adds that keşkek and tandır kebab stand out at weddings, funerals and other communal events. Parlak in Zincirli Han serves Antalya usulü tandır kuzu, lamb cooked by the traditional tandır method, and Mevlana Lokantası lists tandır and kelle tandır among its kebabs.
