5. Denizli Kebab: A Local Specialty That Packs a Flavorful Punch
Named after the province where Pamukkale is located, Denizli Kebab is a must-try dish that highlights the region's love for well-spiced, grilled meats. Made from cubes of lamb or beef marinated in a blend of local spices—red pepper, thyme, and cumin—this kebab is skewered and grilled over hot coals, resulting in a smoky flavor and slightly charred exterior. What sets Denizli Kebab apart is its accompanying sauce, made from yogurt, garlic, and local herbs. Served on a bed of thin flatbread, the kebab absorbs the tangy sauce and meat juices. Many restaurants in Pamukkale take pride in their version of this local specialty, so be sure to ask locals for recommendations on where to find the best Denizli Kebab.
