Our Local Experts say:

The Southeastern region of Turkey produces some of the country's most delicious food. The area's close proximity to Arab countries such as Iraq and Syria has greatly influenced the cuisine.

Southeastern Turkish cuisine features countless variations on the kebab, special breads, mezes and tasty desserts. Especially popular is Baklava, syrup soaked filo pastry with pistachios or walnuts and Kunefe, which is made with vermicilli like pastry with white cheese.
